Worship Environment in Kaniyan Koothu
People living in the countryside are the ones who preserve the cultural environment. Folk peoples and deities are indistinguishable. Storytelling has its place in folklore. These stories have been handed down orally for centuries by people living in the countryside and have been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Through various stories, different forms of worshipping the folk deities are clearly understood. The deity worship of the Kaniyan peop…
Trends in Consanguinity in South India
This study uses data from the 1992–93 National Family Health Survey to assess trends in consanguinity in the South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In Kerala, the frequency of consanguineous marriages is very low and one type of preferred marriage of the Dravidian marriage system – uncle–niece marriage – is conspicuously absent. In the other states of South India, consanguinity and the coefficient of inbreeding a…
Contribution of social and cultural factors to the decline in consanguinity in south India
The data from the National Family Health Survey, 1992-1993, show that the extent of consanguinity is high (34.7 percent) in South India; 26.2 percent of women married close blood relatives, and 8.5 percent of women married distant blood relatives. A definite downward trend in the proportion of marriages between close blood relatives is observed. Education, age at marriage, religion and caste, and urban-rural childhood residence have significant i…

Changes in the timing of births in Melbourne, Australia
Two 10-year marriage cohorts from two surveys of married women in Melbourne were compared on their timing of the first and second births. The results showed that women who were married in the early 1970s were much more likely to delay their first birth until about the third or fourth year of marriage compared with women who married in the 1960s. However, there was no difference in the timing of their second birth in relation to the first birth be…
Maternal Employment
Using data on a random sample of young adults in Melbourne, this paper examines the effects of maternal employment during their childhood and adolescence on their educational attainment, relationship with their parents, premarital sexual behaviour, and attitude towards working mothers. Maternal employment has little effect on the characteristics of the son, although men whose mothers work during their adolescence were more likely to have had prem…
Effects of fertility and mortality on extinction of family and number of living children
A model is developed to study the effects of fertility and mortality on number of living children and on extinction of family. Numerical illustrations are provided by applying the model to three different populations differing in fertility and mortality. It is found that a combination of a high birth rate and a low death rate is required to assure a reasonable probability that the family will not ultimately become extinct. A moderate to high birt…
Family formation and the life cycle
Mathematical expressions are developed for certain life cycles when only the age-specific birth and death rates are known. The probability at birth that a woman will have a specified number of children and the expected length of time spent before the first birth, between the first and the last child, and between the last child and the time of the woman’s death are shown to be calculable. Expressions for the probability of at least one child outli…
Mortality Level, Desire for Surviving Son and Rate of Population Increase
A computer-simulated model is presented which relates mortality level to desired family size and to rates of natural increase. Based on the contention that as the probability of a child surviving increases couples will reduce their fertility this mathematical model shows the relationship between mortality and growth rate for a given probability of a surviving son. The data necessary for this model consist of any normalized birth rate (age-specifi…
