Demographic and Social Correlates of Suicide in the Czech Republic
In this article the authors review the trends and differentials in mortality from self-inflicted injury and poisoning in the Czech Republic between the early 1970s and the present in terms of their socio-economic and demographic associations. They describe the sources of data on suicide and explore the possible extent of under-reporting of deaths from suicide, and they examine the differences in suicide incidence by age and sex. With the decline …

Differential Mortality: Methodological Issues and Biosocial Factors
There are strongly pronounced differentials between survival chances for different social classes in less developed countries. This book gives insight into the variety of factors-biological, social, economic and cultural-associated with these inequalities in mortality rates. Certain of the papers deal with new conceptual approaches and methodological issues, while others cover particular countries in Asia and Latin America, providing overall an i…

Landmarks in Australian Population History
This volume represents the Australian Population Associations contribution to the celebrations surrounding the two-hundredth anniversary of European settlement in Australia. The volume was conceived as a compendium of the best and most significant pieces of writing on Australian population history. The organization of the material is chronological and presents a demographic history of Australia covering such topics as aboriginal population coloni…

Nuptiality and Fertility
Coital frequency and sexual abstinence in rural Bangladesh
The paper analyses results of a survey of sexual and reproductive behaviour in a sample of 2301 currently married women aged less than 50 years. The survey was conducted in 22 villages of the ICDDR, B field station in Bangladesh. Admittedly, the sample is not representative as co-operation could not be obtained from about one-third of eligible women. The results suggest higher coital frequencies among Hindu than among Muslim respondents. There ap…
Mortality Transition in South and East Asia: Technology Confronts Poverty
Available data often of a fragmentary nature suggest that the pace of mortality decline in low income countries of south and east Asia has been slowing down in recent years and in some cases a reversal of the downward trend may even have set in. The near stagnation of mortality levels is occurring at higher levels of mortality than previously anticipated; it appears to reflect widening within-country mortality differentials; and it is paralleling…
Menstrual regulation clients in a village-based family planning programme
Menstrual regulation (MR) was introduced as one of the components of the village-based family planning and meternal and child care programme initiated by the Cholera Research Laboratory, Dacca, in 70 villages in Matlab thana in October 1977. Social and demographic characteristics of the MR clients are compared with those of the users of other contraceptive methods offered by the programme. Reasons for pregnancy termination and the high continuati…

Non-Marital Pregnancies and Ex-Nuptial Births in New Zealand—a reply to O'Neill
The Australian Fertility Transition: An Analysis
The very high level of fertility in Australia up to the mid-19th century resulted from nearly universal and early female marriage. Deferment of marriage by the 1880s was due to the high costs of marriage and not a desire to reduce fertility. Because children were cheap to keep and expected to contribute to household finances there was no reason to limit fertility. In the 2nd half ofthe 19th century a change occurred in the relationship between ch…
Non-Marital Pregnancies and ex-nuptial births in New Zealand
An investigation of the incidence and pattern of non-marital pregnancies in New Zealand, and their outcome as nuptial or ex-nuptial births, has revealed four major features. The post-war period has been marked by a steady increase in the incidence of non-marital pregnancies, especially since the early 1960s (following the inclusion of Maori vital events). Pre-marital or bridal pregnancies increased during the 1950s, but have steadily declined at …
Premarital Pregnancies in Australia
Age at marriage and timing of the first birth
An attempt has been made to measure the effect of age at marriage of brides on the timing of the first birth. In Australian vital statistics, first nuptial confinements have been tabulated by age of mothers and by single years of marriage duration in single months for the first two years and by single years for all other durations since 1916. A simple technique has been used to link such data with marriage cohorts. The study briefly reviews the p…
Non-Marital Pregnancies in Australia since 1947
In this paper, non-marital pregnancies are defined as the sum of ex-nuptial confinements and the first nuptial confinements delivered within the first 8 months of marriage. Analysis is based on the annual statistics of live births, marriages and female non-married population as enumerated in the 1947–71 censuses. The incidence of non-marital pregnancies increased significantly in Australia between 1947 and 1971. This was found to be mainly due to…
