High Fertility and Children's Schooling in Ghana
This paper explores the linkages at the family level between sustained high fertility and children's schooling in Ghana, in the context of a constrained economic environment and rising school fees. The unique feature of the paper is its exploration of the operational significance of alternative definitions of “sib size” – the number of “same-mother” siblings and “same-father” siblings – in relation to enrolment, grade attainment, and school drop-…
Women's Role in Maintaining Households
Over the last 30 years in Ghana, the proportion of households headed by women has increased and the composition of these households has shifted, with a growing percentage of households headed by the divorced and widowed. The paper assesses the implications of these trends for family welfare, and evaluates more broadly the current role of women in the economic maintenance of households with children, using data from the Ghana Living Standards Surv…
The Formation and Stability of Informal Unions in Cote D'ivoire
Data from the 1980/81 Cote dIvoire Fertility Survey was used to examine the relationships between nonmarital cohabitation and marriage and to determine the relationship between union and divorce. The sample of 3185 women was restricted to women aged 15-49 years who were first married under age 25 from 1957 to 1976. The sample characteristics were reasonably distributed by religion education employment and education. 28% had a premarital birth or …

While the relationship between polygyny and fertility has drawn the attention of many demographers little research has been done on the polygyny-divorce relationship. Using data from the Nigeria Fertility Survey of 1981/82 and proportional hazard models this paper estimates the effect of polygyny on the stability of first unions. The results indicate that a simple dichotomy of polygynous and monogamous unions may be misleading. Two-wife unions ar…
