  • Timing of first birth and second birth spacing in Canada

    Open AccessK Vaninadha Rao, T R BalakrishnanARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1989

    In Canadian society the influence of first birth timing on the subsequent birth interval has been eroded over time, as shown by the Canadian Fertility Survey of 1984. The influence of first birth timing is significant for second births among women married during the baby boom period, but not for those married thereafter. Religiosity, marital status, and place of residence are significant factors in second birth timing in Canada.

  • Premarital Cohabitation and Marital Stability

    James Trussell, K Vaninadha Rao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1989Cited by: 8

    In a recent article in this journal James White (1987) concluded that premarital cohabitation has a positive effect on subsequent marital stability among Canadian women. He based this conclusion on results of an analysis of data from the Family History Survey conducted by Statistics Canada in 1984. This finding aroused our interest because other analysts...using data from the Canadian Fertility Survey also conducted in 1984 reached the opposite c…

  • Age at first birth and lifetime fertility

    Open AccessT R Balakrishnan, K Vaninadha Rao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1988

    Among a national sample of Canadian women in the Canadian National Fertility Survey of 1984, the excess cumulative fertility of those who started their families early over others has steadily decreased. A difference of approximately two births between early and late starters among older women is reduced to approximately half a child among the younger women. Except for those who start childbearing after age 25, there is little evidence of attempts…

  • Covariates of age at first birth in Guyana

    Open AccessK Vaninadha Rao, Komanduri S MurtyARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1987

    Analysis of data from the Guyana Fertility Survey on the trends and covariates of age at first birth among various birth cohorts of women ever in union indicates that an early entry into union is associated with young age at first birth and higher number of children born. Multivariate analysis showed that women with highér education, urban residence, and entry into union at age 20 or older among younger cohorts experienced lower risks for first b…

  • A Hazard Model Analysis of the Covariates of Marriage Dissolution in Canada

    Open AccessT R Balakrishnan, K Vaninadha Rao et al.ARTICLEDemography1987Cited by: 25References: 19

    An examination of the marriage histories in the Canadian Fertility Survey confirm the fact that marriage dissolutions have been increasing rapidly in recent years. Cohort analyses by age and by year of marriage enable 1 to see that this is not just a timing effect and that the probabilities of dissolution in the 1st 10 years of marriage have indeed gone up especially among the young and the more recently married cohorts. Canadian rates are somewh…

  • Effect of Infant Mortality on Subsequent Fertility in Pakistan and Sri Lanka

    K Vaninadha Rao, Roderic BeaujotARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1987

    This study used data from the 1975 World Fertility Surveys in Pakistan and Sri Lanka to examine the association between fertility and infant mortality. A positive association between the mean number of children ever born and the number of child deaths was found in both rural and urban areas of each country. In Pakistan women with no child loss had 3.3 children ever born while those who lost 1 child had 4.7 children; in Sri Lanka the figures were …

  • Effect of infant mortality on subsequent fertility in pakistan and Sri Lanka

    Open AccessK Vaninadha Rao, Roderic BeaujotARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1986

    The relation between infant mortality and fertility is studied using data from the 1975 fertility surveys in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is found that the unadjusted data support child replacement, but that this is much less the case once controls are introduced for demographic and socioeconomic factors. Replacement is slightly more pronounced when there are fewer surviving male children.
