  • Ethnic fertility differentials in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore

    Open AccessSaw Swee‐hock, Swee-Hock SawARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1990

    Differences in fertility between the three major ethnic groups (Malays, Chinese and Indians) in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore have existed since before the onset of fertility decline in the late 1950s and remain today, although the relative positions and the actual differences have changed due to the varying rates of decline. By 1987, the Malays experienced the highest fertility and the Chinese the lowest in both countries but in Singapore th…

    Wan Fook Kee, Saw Swee-Hock et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1975Citada por: 1

    The First National Survey on Family Planning in Singapore was designed to gather data that would aid in evaluating the program of the National Family Planning and Population Board and the influence of government population policies on attitudes toward family planning. Interviews with 2,078 currently married women aged 15--44 revealed high levels of contraceptive knowledge and use, satisfaction of clinic users with the Board's services, and attitu…

  • Singapore

    Saw Swee-Hock, Saw Swee‐hockARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1975Citada por: 3

    Singapore's fertility decline began in the late 1950s, and continued until a record low of 44,562 births in 1969. Subsequently another upswing in the number of births took place, taking a downturn again to 48,269 in 1973. The decline in the crude birthrate in 1973 was entirely caused by a fall in fertility, and was retarded by the fact that there was a rise in the proportion of women in the reproductive ages. Indians and Malays contributed the mo…

  • Family planning knowledge, attitudes, and practice in Malaya

    Open AccessSaw Swee-Hock, Saw Swee‐hockARTICLEDemography1968Referencias: 1

    Several policy decisions can be drawn from the brief discussion presented in this paper. First, knowledge of birth control was rather meager among the uneducated, the poor, and the rural folk, and therefore family planning education should be encouraged and intensified to impart this basic knowledge to these categories of women in particular. Second, there was overwhelming approval of the idea of family planning as well as ardent interest in lear…

  • A problem of estimating a contingency table arising in demographic analysis

    Saw Swee-Hock, Saw Swee‐hockARTICLEPopulation Studies1966Referencias: 1

    This note deals with a special problem of estimating a contingency table arising in demographic analysis. What we require are the estimates of the numbers of births and deaths in Malaya crossclassified by state and race for the years of the Japanese occcupation, 1942-45. For many reasons this period had an adverse effect on the Chinese and Indian Communities, and hence the two-fold result of a greater reduction in the number of births and a large…

    Saw Swee-Hock, Saw Swee‐hockARTICLEPopulation Studies1964Referencias: 2

    In Malaya the registration of births and deaths was introduced in the eleven states at different dates, and for many decades the system developed independently in these states with virtually no unifying force present. Penang and Malacca were the first two states to inaugurate the compulsory registration system in 1872, while Kelantan and Trengganu were the last two states to follow suit in as late as 1926, the year in which vital statistics for t…
