Preparing for an Increased Need for Abortion Access in India during and after Covid‐19
Access to safe abortion is a reproductive rights and justice issue, and it is imperative that safe abortion access during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic is a reality for all. India imposed a lockdown in March 2020 to contain the spread of the pandemic. Limited mobility, lack of clarity about abortion as an essential service and abortion as a service permitted through telemedicine, shut down of services providing long‐acting and permanent methods…
Development of a Person‐Centered Family Planning Scale in India and Kenya
Despite recognition that person‐centered care is a critical component to providing high quality family planning services, there lacks consensus on how to operationalize and measure it. This paper describes the development and validation of a person‐centered family planning (PCFP) scale in India and Kenya. Cross‐sectional data were collected from 522 women in Kenya and 225 women in India who visited a health facility providing family planning serv…
The List Experiment for Measuring Abortion
Measuring abortion incidence and prevalence is often difficult because of under‐reporting and other biases, complicated research designs, and other issues. Recently, family planning researchers have introduced a new method called the list experiment, adopted from political science and economics, to measure abortion. Three completed studies and at least four studies currently underway use this method to measure abortion in several countries. We di…
Climate change and population in the Muslim world
Many regions of the globe especially vulnerable to climate change are home to the world’s largest Muslim populations. Projections of climatic risk and subsequent health consequences and mortality are exacerbated by growing populations. Close examination of both the current and future trends is essential for a better understanding of how severely climate change might affect such populations. While it is generally perceived that many Muslim countri…
Are the population policies of India and China responsible for the fertility decline
In the 1970s, policy‐makers in both India and China, convinced that reducing population growth was critical for ending poverty, instituted coercive population policies. Yet fertility had already been declining in both countries before the population policies were instituted. In China, the total fertility rate (TFR) had already fallen to 2.9 before the institution of the One‐Child Policy. In India, fertility continued to decline at roughly the sam…
Too many girls, too much dowry’
The southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu has experienced a dramatic decline in fertility, accompanied by a trend of increased son preference. This paper reports on findings from qualitative interviews with women in rural villages about their fertility decision-making. Specifically addressed are the reasons behind increasing son preference and the consequences of this change. Findings suggest that daughter aversion, fuelled primarily by the perceiv…
