Unmet Need for Contraception
Unmet need for contraception has been a central indicator for monitoring the progress of family planning programs for 25 years. The purpose of this article is to provide a broad context for the more focused contributions that follow in this special issue. The validity and measurement of the concept of unmet need are discussed. We then present regional trends among married women since 1970. Major reductions in unmet need have been achieved, with t…
Policy Implications of the Next World Demographic Transition
Although the world demographic transition from high to low fertility appears to be nearing its completion, observed in perspective, this is the latest in a series of such transitions stretching back into prehistory. A stable new equilibrium is far from inevitable; indeed, it is unlikely. Many countries are experiencing below‐replacement‐level fertility, and this trend is spreading. Couples are now able to choose their family size, free of the tra…

Rural electrification and fertility change

Recent versions of the economic theory of fertility have attempted to make the framework more generally applicable to all types of populations through an explicit treatment of supply considerations in combination with an analysis of the determinants of demand. Easterlin has suggested that the supply of children to an individual couple is determined by biological constraints in combination with the Davis‐Blake intermediate variables and with morta…

Samoan Migrant Fertility
Samoan women who migrate to traditional communities on Oahu experience less environmental change are exposed to the new environment for less of their reproductive period have relatively few of the other characteristics which would expose them to modern influences and are more severely constrained by their past reproductive history than women who settle in the less traditional communities. It is not surprising that the age-specific fertility rates…
Part one
Relationships among age at marriage, age at migration, education, ideal number of children, years since marriage and migration, and number of live births in Samoa and Hawaii are analyzed in a cross‐sectional sample of Samoan women currently living in Hawaii. Migration from Samoa to Oahu, Hawaii leads to a shift from a relatively traditional environment to a modern, urbanized setting. The timing of this migration, as well as the characteristics of…
