The Caribbean Migrant Farm Worker Programme in Ontario
The authors describe a program sponsored by farmers in Canada to import seasonal agricultural workers to Ontario from the Caribbean and Mexico. "On the basis of survey data obtained in 1987, this paper focuses primarily on levels of earnings and characteristics of individual participants. Some comparisons are also made between the Ontario programme and one in Florida which also involved temporary West Indian labour." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
The Human Condition of West Indian Migrant Farm Labour in Southwestern Ontario
Nuptiality and fertility in the Dominican Republic
Women in marital unions had more live births than those in consensual unions. The relationship between cumulative fertility and the number of fertile sexual unions is positive for the early childbearing years and negative for the later ones. There is no consistent pattern of relationship between fertility and the sociocultural independent variables for different subgroups according to nuptiality pattern. The relationship between fertility and nup…
Socio-Demographic Correlates of Childlessness
"The purpose of this paper is to examine childless women and the different socio-demographic characteristics associated with this demographic pattern. The study focuses on the proportion of ever-married and currently married women 15 years of age and over who were childless in 1971. The data source is the 1971 Canadian census 1 percent sample tape based on individual files, which yields a total sample of 46,376 women from all across Canada. The m…

A Re-exploration of the Relationship between Types of Sex Unions and Fertility
Data from a national sample of 4199 lower socioeconomic status Barbadian women between ages 16-50 were studied to assess the relationship between fertility and the type of sex union. Cross-tabulation and multiple regression analysis were employed to assess this relationship. Findings from this study replicated earlier field research on other English-speaking Caribbean islands. Fertility was found to be highest for women in married unions next hig…
Emigration and fertility decline
This paper examines the role of emigration in the recent fertility declines which have occurred on the island of Barbados. Barbados with a history of over two centuries of out-migration has experienced in the period 1951–1970 very significant migration loss. In the period 1960–1970 and up to the present fertility has been declining. An important question is what part has this net migration loss of 32,600 had on the reduction of the crude birth ra…
Protestant and Catholic Couples Who Have Chosen Vasectomy
A survey was conducted in 1970 in London Ontario of Catholic and Protestant couples in which the husbands had a vasectomy operation performed between 1966 and 1969 for the purpose of comparing them on actual and desired family size contraceptive use before the operation contraceptive failures resulting in unplanned births satisfaction with the operation and on such other demographic characteristics as age education and family income. Over 500 que…
Patterns of Sex‐Union Formation in Barbados
Cette étude, basée sur un échantillon de 4199 femmes de bas statut socioéconomique interviewées en 1971 sur l'île des Barbades, examine les types de formation des unions entre sexes. Trois types d'unions entre sexes sont identifyées: les unions occasionnelles (visiting), les unions de type « loi commune » (commonlaw) et les mariages. La très grande majorité de toutes les unions commence et se termine comme des unions occasionnelles. Un grand nomb…

Fertility and number of partnerships in Barbados
This paper examines the relationship between the number of partnerships ever engaged in and fertility, as measured by the average number of live births. It was found that the larger the number of partnerships in which a woman had been engaged the higher is her fertility. This relationship between partnerships and fertility remains even when such variables as present age, age at first partnership, age at first pregnancy, time lost between unions, …
Stability of unions and fertility in Barbados
To evaluate the affect of unstable unions on fertility behavior in Barbados 461 women of lower socio-economic status were interviewed by the Population research Council Research Project (PCRP) between May 1965 and December 1967. 406 of the women had used 1 or more method of contraception. Instability of union was measured by the number of sexual partners experienced during reproductive life. The average number of partners for the total sample was…
Male Sterilization as a Contraceptive Method in Canada
In 1851-61, the crude birth rate in Canada was 45. In 1972, it was approximately 16. Not only have birth rates decreased but the average family size has declined from five or six children per family at the turn of the century to two or three children in the 1970'S. In addition, women are completing their childbearing at an earlier age. 50 years ago, it was not uncommon for a woman to have a child in her late thirties or early forties. To-day, thi…
Family planning among health clinic patients in Barbados
In 1967 a sample of 600 patients from the Population Council Research Project an affiliate of the Barbados Family Planning Project yielded 461 interviews of selected women patients. 12% had never used contraceptives 2.6% had never been pregnant. 7.8% had no partner or husband. 74.3% of the women who did use a contraceptive method had utilized the IUD. 33.8% used the IUD to space pregnancies while 54.1% wanted no more pregnancies. Over 25% of the …
Users and non-users of contraception
Regression analysis is used in examining the cumulative nature of contraceptive use among clients of a family planning programme. Markov chain analyses are performed on the data. χ(2) tests are used to test the stationarity of the transition probabilities from the state of user to non-user as well as from non-user to user over the period of operation of the programme. A good predictive equation is developed relating the cumulated number of users …
