Social and Demographic Correlates of Consanguineous Marriages in South India
Interviews with a random sample of households resident in metropolitan Madras in 1966 revealed that many women, of the different age cohorts, married consanguineously. Most often these women married men who were defined by their communities as the most preferred types of mates - mother's brother, mother's brother's son, or father's sister's son. As compared with non-consanguineous marriages, these marriages were usually arranged by the parents an…

Social Class and Voluntary Associations in Urban India
Formal, voluntan' associations are forms of social organization found, in varying degrees, in human societies, past and present, in most areas of the world.

Today, they are viable, social forms in all cities, most tow…

Social class and fertility in metropolitan Madras
Interviews were conducted with a random sample of 463 couples in metropolitan Madras. From these data, social class, as measured by the respondent's self‐identification, is found to be inversely correlated with the fertility and child mortality experienced by women in unbroken marriages. These class differences in fertility are not explained either by their rates of sterility or their variations in duration of marriage, i.e., exposure to the risk…

Differential fertility in central India: A path analysis
This study is one of the few multivariate analyses of the relations of several demographic and socioeconomic variables to fertility and the use of contraception. For fertility, 56 of the 92 hypothesized paths are found to be significant at the .05 level or better. The five variables having a significant and direct effect on fertility, as shown by their path coefficients (p), are: duration of marriage (p= .721), spouse’s cohort (p= −.093), spouse’…

Summary of the social sciences and population policy: A survey
This survey makes quite explicit the willingness of the social sciences and demography to initiate or expand teaching, research, and training on population policy. The disciplines now differ greatly in these activities.
