Alignment between Desires and Outcomes among Women Wanting to Avoid Pregnancy: A Global Comparative Study of “Conditional” Unintended Pregnancy Rates
Since childbearing desires, and trends in these desires, differ across populations, the inclusion of women who want to become pregnant in the denominator for unintended pregnancy rates complicates interpretation of intercountry differences and trends over time. To address this limitation, we propose a rate that is the ratio of the number of unintended pregnancies to the number of women wanting to avoid pregnancy; we term these conditional rates. …
Extramarital fertility in low- and middle-income countries
In most societies, childbearing is largely confined to women in formal marital unions, but in a subset of contemporary low-fertility Western societies, extramarital fertility has become common. However, extramarital fertility is often ignored in fertility
Factors influencing satisfaction with oral contraceptive pills and injectables among past users in Kenya
This study examines factors associated with satisfaction with oral pills and injectables among past users in Kenya based on a baseline survey for the 2-year prospective longitudinal study Improving Measurement of Unintended Pregnancy and Unmet Need for Family Planning conducted in 2016. Married women aged 15–39 years were interviewed using a structured questionnaire that captured information on reproduction, contraceptive knowledge and beliefs an…
Family Demography in Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Fertility Preferences
Thomas K.BurchModel‐Based Demography: Essays on Integrating Data, Technique and TheorySpringer Open Access, 2018. 200 p
This volume of fourteen essays contains twelve journal articles and conference papers written by Burch in the period from the early 1990s through the late 2000s, plus two pieces appearing for the first time in this volume. So that each piece is complete and stands on its own, the author has deliberately not edited out repetition among the fourteen essays. All the essays tackle the problem of the relationship between theory and empirical analysis …
Unrealized fertility: Fertility desires at the end of the reproductive career
â Unrealized fertilityâ is a failure to achieve desired fertility. Unrealized fertility has been examined in low-fertility societies but, with the exception of research on infertility, has been neglected in research on non-Western societies
Migration and marriage: Modeling the joint process
BACKGROUND: Previous research on inter-relations between migration and marriage has relied on overly simplistic assumptions about the structure of dependency between the two events. However, there is good reason to posit that each of the two transitions has an impact on the likelihood of the other, and that unobserved common factors may affect both migration and marriage, leading to a distorted impression of the causal impact of one on the other.…
Fertility Transition: Is sub-Saharan Africa Different
Examining the predictive value of fertility preferences among Ghanaian women
Despite extensive research, doubts remain regarding the degree of correspondence between prior stated fertility preferences and subsequent fertility behavior. Preference instability is a factor that potentially undermines predictiveness. Furthermore, if other predictors of fertility substantially explain fertility, then knowledge of preferences may contribute little to explaining or predicting individual fertility behavior. In this study, we exam…
Trends in the timing of first marriage among men and women in the developing world
The timing of first union merits investigation not only because of the close temporal link between marriage and the onset of childbearing, but also because the age when men and women marry has implications for the organization of family life and for gender relations within society. This paper begins by reviewing the contributions of various social science disciplines to an understanding of the timing of marriage. Using current status data from 73…
