  • The Determinants of Fertility in Swaziland

    Charles W Warren, J Timothy Johnson et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1992Cited by: 3

    In this paper data from the 1988 Swaziland Family Health Survey, the first comprehensive study of fertility and family planning conducted in Swaziland, are used to examine the relative importance of nuptiality, contraceptive use, lactation, and involuntary infertility as they affect fertility. It is shown that future decreases in fertility in Swaziland are most likely to result from increases in use of contraception. Current use of contraception …

  • Fertility on the US–Mexico border

    Open AccessCharles W Warren, Richard S Monteith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1989

    Using Bongaarts' model, the relative importance of the proximate determinants of fertility is explored in five populations on the US–Mexico border. For the groups closest to natural fertility (the two Mexican groups), lactation, use of contraception, and marriage all were moderately important in terms of their direct effect on fertility. For the group with lowest fertility (Anglo-American), contraceptive use was an important factor inhibiting fer…

  • Tubal Sterilization

    Charles W Warren, Richard S Monteith et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1988

    It is estimated that by 1985, more than 100 million couples worldwide had been sterilized for contraceptive reasons. Consistent with the increasing levels of contraceptive sterilization is the finding in numerous studies of generally high levels of satisfaction and low levels of regret about having undergone the procedure. However, the questions asked in these studies differ (regret v. reversal), so the validity of cross-national comparisons is p…

  • Use of maternal–child health services and contraception in Guatemala and Panama

    Open AccessCharles W Warren, Richard S Monteith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1987

    This paper presents data from two recent maternal–child health (MCH) and family planning surveys in Guatemala and Panama and examines the extent to which the use of contraception is influenced by the use of MCH services as compared with the influence of an increase in parity. The findings suggest that utilization of MCH services and parity independently are associated with a woman's decision to use contraception. The study also found two groups t…

  • Births, Deaths, and Taxes

    Alberto Palloni, A F K Organski et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1986

    This book is concerned with the relationship between political change and demographic change. In particular the authors attempt to identify how political changes affect patterns of fertility and mortality and they maintain that the growth in government power as measured by increases in taxation has a direct influence on the number of children born and the number of people dying in a given population. According to this hypothesis the larger the sc…

  • Political Determinants of Population Dynamics

    Open AccessJacek Kugler, A F K Organski et al.ARTICLEComparative Political Studies1983Cited by: 5References: 18

    The article suggests that the massive transformation of the political system often referred to as “political development” is responsible for the movement from high to low birth-and death rates in national populations. The effect of the changing political system is independent of (and in addition to) the effects of socioeconomic changes previously presented in the theory of demographic demographic transition. The article reports first the nature o…

  • Influences on Family Planning Acceptance

    J Timothy JohnsonARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1979

    Which factors have the greater influence on family planning performance: fixed background variables such as racial composition, urbanization, and mortality, which are affected by level of development, or program inputs such as assignment of personnel and location of clinics, which are subject to manipulation by administrators? An analysis of differences in family planning acceptance among 70 districts of Malaysia shows that two main program-manip…

  • Assessment of family planning programme effects on births

    J Timothy Johnson, Tan Boon Ann et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1973Cited by: 1

    In order to match birth and family planning acceptance records and thereby to obtain estimates of pre- and post-acceptance fertility, use is made of seven-digit national identity card numbers, issued to all adult West Malaysians. These unique numbers are recorded on live-birth records and national family planning programme acceptor records of West Malaysian women. The application and preliminary results of this method of direct computer matching …
