Child-spacing in Tropical Africa
This collection of papers by various authors focuses on the demographic consequences of current child-spacing patterns and trends in tropical Africa and on the socioeconomic and cultural environment that underpins traditional practices and differential changes in these practices. The most prevalent traditional practices namely prolonged breast-feeding and postpartum abstinence are discussed and shifts occurring as a result of modernization are an…
The post-partum non-susceptible period
The duration of the post-partum non-susceptible period is a major determinant of birth intervals in populations with relatively low levels of contraception. Since it depends largely on the length of breast-feeding, it may change rapidly with socio-economic development. Its study is, however, seriously hampered by the limited and defective nature of most data that can be obtained. In the absence of intensive, large-scale prospective studies, sizea…
Patterns underlying fertility schedules
Model fertility schedules based on the proportions married and the age pattern of marital fertility are unsatisfactory to the extent that marital fertility does not depend on age alone but also on other factors. Most notably, models based just on age fail to allow for differences between populations in their composition by marriage duration. Examination of the major series of fertility rates specific by both age and duration of marriage (Sweden 1…
Parental Survival Data
Ledermann's one- and two-parameter model life tables are used in order to summarize and compare adult mortality estimates derived from parental survival data, and also to link parental survival with child survival data. The Ledermann models provide an alternative to the logit model used by Brass and Hill. Examination of life tables derived from actual child and adult mortality estimates reveals that although the two types of models yield similar …
