Determinants of birth-interval length in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia
Differences in fertility levels can logically be attributed to differences in exposure to the risk of pregnancy and differences in the length of time between births when women are exposed. Exposure to risk varies primarily because the proportion of women cohabiting differs across populations, although in some populations sterilization removes from exposure a significant fraction of those cohabiting. This paper analyzes the determinants of the oth…

Variations in labor force composition and in urbanization levels by country are discussed. Countries considered include Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Japan, the Republic of Korea…

The 5-year plan uses the 1976 estimates of…

Knowledge of family planning was most widespread among women aged 25-34 and least among those over 45. There was a positive correlation between education and knowledge of family planning…
