Does Globalization Adversely Affect Population and Poverty
The influence of female education, labor force participation, and age at marriage on fertility behavior in Bangladesh
This paper studies the relationship between three aspects of female status (education, work experience, and age at marriage) and the use of contraception and fertility in Bangladesh. Education is found to be the variable most strongly correlated with use of contraception and is also one of the significant variables explaining fertility behavior. The most important factor explaining fertility behavior is age at marriage. The higher the age at marr…

Attitudes towards legalization of abortion among a cross-section of women in metropolitan Dacca
The paper examines the attitudes towards legalization of abortion among a cross-section of 1130 currently married, fecund women of metropolitan Dacca. Abortion is a taboo subject and it is punishable under law in Bangladesh. The respondents in this study do not seem to be very hostile toward legalization of abortion but, on the contrary, favour this at least under certain situations. Only 11% of respondents are strongly opposed to legalization of…
Marriage, Urban Women, and the Labor Force
Female status and fertility behaviour in a Metropolitan Urban area of Bangladesh
The paper examines hypotheses that certain aspects of status of married women such as (i) decision-making power; (ii) employment status and (iii) educational status, are positively associated with use of contraception and inversely related to fertility performance. The study is based on 1,130 women of reproductive age (15-49) who are currently married and living with their husbands and reported to be fecund. The data are drawn from a cross-sectio…
Demographic Change and Food Production in Bangladesh, 1960-74
Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country in the world, provides an acute illustration of the recent concern over the precarious global balance between food supply and rapid population growth. A new nation with about 76 million people inhabiting 142 thousand square kilometers of land, Bangladesh is the most densely settled rural nation in the world. The economy of Bangladesh is overwhelmingly dominated by agriculture; it contributes over two-t…
Socioeconomic and seasonal variations in births
Differential Fertility by Religious Group in East Pakistan
To compare the fertility levels of Muslim Caste and Schedule Caste Hindus in East Pakistan the ratio of children aged 0-9 to currently married and ever-married women aged 20-39 is used as the fertility index. The unadjusted and adjusted mean child to ever married woman ratios are 2.82 and 2.89 for Muslims 2.74 and 2.82 for Caste Hindus 2.53 and 2.59 for Schedule Caste Hindus. The difference between Muslims and Schedule Caste Hindus is statistical…
