Fertility in Asia
This book is a product of a program initiated by the Population Council in 1978 entitled the Fertility Impacts of Development. The focus of the book is on the quantification of the impact of development on fertility. Five of the studies funded under the program are presented here. Three of these studies two in Thailand and one in Sri Lanka focused upon the fertility effects of interventions to improve economic conditions. These interventions incl…
Differential Mortality in Rural Nepal
This study reports the first analysis of mortality differentials in Nepal. The objectives are to analyze differentials in infant and child mortality over time in 2 major geographical areas--the Hills and Terai; and to analyze differentials in child survivorship for education and landholding groups within these areas. Demographic surveys were conducted annually from 1975 through 1978 by the research and evaluation unit of the Family Planning/Mater…

An experimental design including baseline and follow-up surveys supplemented by a continuous monitoring s…
Guidelines for Overcoming Design Problems in Family Planning Operations Research
This report is concerned with designs for field intervention studies utilized in operations research. Beginning with an overview of the objectives of operations research, the authors go on to review the difficulties associated with using "true experimental" designs. Proposed guidelines for designing quasi-experimental studies are then discussed. The guidelines focus on using multiple sources of data, multiple measurements over time, and multiple …
Differential mortality in rural Nepal
This study reports the first analysis of mortality differentials in Nepal. Longitudinal survey data collected from four districts indicate infant mortality was lower and child survival higher in the hill than in the plains (Terai) region, but that the differential narrowed between 1975 and 1978. In addition, child survival varied directly with education and landholdings within both regions. Possible explanations for the findings include the prese…

Migrant-Nonmigrant Differentials in Socioeconomic Status, Fertility and Family Planning in Nepal
This study identifies the socioeconomic characterisitics of immigrants in Nepal, their fertility, and the incidence of family planning. These characterisitics are contrasted with the receiving or nonmigrant population and inferences drawn regarding the probable social and demographic impact immigrants may have on the "receiving" population. Demographic surveys were conducted annually from 1975 through 1978 in the Hills and Terai by the research a…
The Relative Impacts of Vertical and Integrated FP/MCH Programs in Rural Nepal
The objectives of this analysis were to assess the probable impacts of vertical and integrated FP/MCH programs on family planning (knowledge, use, and intentions to use), family size preferences, fertility, and mortality (child and infant). The following discussion summarizes and draws conclusions regarding the results of this investigation. The vertical program showed a greater impact on knowledge of family planning than the integrated program. …
Differential fertility in rural Nepal
Fertility differentials between geographical areas (Hills and Terai) and landholding and education groups within the areas were analysed from the first longitudinal sample surveys conducted in Nepal. Results indicated that fertility is higher in the Hills than in the Terai among older women who have been married for longer periods. The periodic return of Gurkha soldiers to the Hills, and differences in health conditions which may contribute to hi…
Fertility and socio-economic status in Rural Bangladesh
Socio-economic differentials in fertility are examined by using data collected from a daily registration system covering over 100,000 persons in rural Bangladesh during the period 1968 to 1970. The findings indicate that fertility was generally higher among women in the higher than in the lower socio-economic groups. Several factors associated with high socio-economic status and their relation with the intermediate variables are discussed as prov…
Marital structure and birth rate in Nepal
The shift in the marital structure of Nepal between 1961 and 1971 has been analysed, and its implications for the CBR in 1971, Although there has been a slight increase in the age at marriage, over 90% of Nepali women were married by the ages of 20–24 years in 1971 and the overall marital structure of 1971 is more favourable to a higher CBR than the structure at the beginning of the decade. This is primarily due to a decline in the incidence of w…
Marital Structure and Birth Rate in Nepal
Fertility, Infant Mortality and Family Planning in Rural Bangladesh
Differentials in Fertility, Family Planning Practice, and Family Size Values in South Korea, 1965-1971
Data from five Korean national KAP surveys of currently married women, conducted between 1965 and 1971, are analyzed to determine whether differentials have emerged or are emerging between urban and rural women in three factors of crucial importance for population growth: fertility, family planning practice, and family size values. Graphics are used throughout to analyze urban-rural differentials and trends in these factors over time. In addition…
Pregnancy Termination Intervals in a Rural Area of Bangladesh
Pregnancy termination intervals, i.e., live birth to live birth (LB-LB), live birth to fetal loss (LB-FL), and fetal loss to live birth (FL-LB), are analyzed prospectively between 1966 and 1970 in a rural population (117,000) of Bangladesh. Results indicate that the mean LB-LB interval was almost 30 months, the LB-FL interval 27 months, and the FL-LB interval 18 months. In addition, postpartum amenorrhea was estimated to be about 13-14 months, an…
Seasonal variation in births in rural East Pakistan
An analysis of the monthly distribution of births in two areas of Matlab Thana, East Pakistan, indicates that there is a seasonal variation in births different from what would be expected by chance. The highest proportion of births occur in the last three months of a year and the lowest proportion between May and July. Investigation into some of the environmental and social factors which might contribute to the seasonal pattern revealed the follo…
The effect of fecundity on fertility in rural East Pakistan (Bangladesh)
To determine levels of fecundity--the biological capacity for reproduction-- in various population segments and the effect of the fecundity levels on fertility rates 30155 ever-married women in the Matlab thana area of East Pakistan were interviewed on fecundity in early 1968 as part of a cholera eradication program. Fecundity was defined as some current or recent state of pregnancy or regular menstruation for at least 6 months. This is an admitt…
Neo-natal and post-neo-natal mortality in a rural area of Bangladesh
An analysis of neo-natal and post-neo-natal mortality in 132 villages (population of 117,000) of Matlab thana indicates the following: (i) Neo-natal deaths accounted for 60% of the infant mortality rate of 125. This proportion was unexpectedly high since previous research had maintained that in countries with infant mortality rates over 100, neo-natal deaths account for less than one-third of all infant deaths. Since the present findings on the p…
Correlates of Desired Family Size in a Rural Area of Bangladesh
Hypotheses concerning the relationship between social and demographic factors and norms of family size were tested on 1600 currently married women in Comilla-Kotwali thana, Bangladesh. The results indicate that religion, family type and age of woman are significantly related to desired family size. That is, mean desired family size was significantly lower for Hindus than for Muslims, for joint than for single family units, and for women in the "y…
Dynamics of the Muslim‐Hindu differential in family planning practices in rural East Pakistan
A 1968 study analyzing the relationship between religious affiliation and family planning practice in a rural East Pakistan area was conducted by interviewing a probability sample of 1600 currently married Hindu and Muslim women. The differential appeared to be inconsistent and often insignificant when the control variables of social and demographic factors were applied. The differential disappears in cases where the husbands occupation is unskil…
Muslim-Hindu Differentials in Family Planning Knowledge and Attitude in Rural East Pakistan
The dynamics of the relationship between Hindu and Muslim religious affiliation and knowledge of and attitude toward family planning are presented for a probability sample of all currently married females in 247 villages of Comilla-Kotwali thana, East Pakistan. Previous research has demonstrated that the differential found between the two religions could not be attributed to differences in the Hindu and Muslim ideologies. The practice of Purdah a…
The Impact of Desired Family Size upon Family Planning Practices in Rural East Pakistan
A 1968 study analyzing the relationship between desired family size and family planning practice was conducted by interviewing a probability sample of 1600 currently married women from a rural East Pakistan area. Women whose desired family size was equal to or less than their actual family size were found to have significantly greater frequencies (p less than or equal to .05) of family planning practice than women whose desired size exceeded actu…
Infant mortality trends in rural East Pakistan
Infant mortality trends in a rural area of East Pakistan are analyzed utilizing the Bogue pregnancy history technique. The findings indicate that infant mortality has declined slightly over 20 percent between 1958 and 1967. The existence of development programs in women’s education and family planning since 1961 are proposed as possible reasons for this finding. A convergence in infant mortality rates to mothers in the age range 15–39 years was f…
