Population dynamics and digitalization
Objectives: The study explores how humanity influences the development of digitalization on population dynamics during the changing times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Fifteen full-text articles were selected from 40 identified studies (2020-2023). Results: hree themes emerged: (1) influence of humanity on the development of digitalization on population dynamics during changing times, (…
Factors Associated with Late Antenatal Initiation among Women in Malawi
Background Early initiation of antenatal care (ANC) is critical in identifying and mitigating adverse pregnancy-related complications. However, globally, a high percentage of women initiate ANC only at a late stage of their pregnancy. In view of this, the main objective of the study is to establish the prevalence and factors associated with late ANC initiation among women in Malawi. Methods The study was based on the 2015-16 Malawi Demographic an…
Rural-Urban Fertility Disparity in The Gambia
This cross-sectional design study examined rural-urban fertility differences in The Gambia. We used the 2019-20 Gambia Demographic and Health Survey data. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select women of reproductive age (8,747 urban & 3,119 rural). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kitagawa's Decomposition technique, and the negative binomial (NB) model, α = .05. The mean Children Ever Born (CEB) was higher in the rura…
Dissecting the Role of Donors in Capacity Building for HIV/Aids Treatment, Care and Support
Donor involvement in development activities in the Global South has been questioned for failing to capacitate communities in the recipient country. Therefore, the need to establish whether the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) antiretroviral treatment (ART) programme in Zimbabwe contributed to capacity building for HIV and AIDS support, care and treatment triggered this study. A qualitative methodology involving semi-structured interviews with purpo…
The Interface between the State and NGOs in Delivering Health Services in Zimbabwe—A Case of the MSF ART Programme
An over-reliance on donor funding for HIV/AIDS healthcare services remains a concern in Africa. This study, therefore, explores the partnership between the Zimbabwean government and an international non-governmental organisation in delivering HIV/AIDS healthcare services. An interpretivist paradigm and descriptive phenomenological design were used to elicit the opinions, perceptions, and experiences of forty purposively sampled key informants. Th…
Prevalence, Trends, and Determinants of at Least Four Antenatal Visits in Malawi
This study aims to determine the prevalence, trends, and determinants of at least four antenatal visits in Malawi. The study used Demographic and Health Surveys from 1992 to 2016. The study population consisted of women who gave birth to at least one child within 60 months before the survey. Chi-square test and logistic regression analyses were used to establish the relationships between dependent and independent variables. The percentage of preg…
Influence of Maternal Education on Second Childbirth Interval Among Women in South Africa
Inter-birth interval lengthening is a key component of fertility decline. Although South Africa fertility rate remains the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa, information on the effect of education on the interval between first- and second-birth across residential contexts is rarely documented. The study investigated the relationship between maternal education and second-birth interval (SbI) by residence among South African women. The study analyzed th…
Perceived barriers associated with maternal health care service delivery in Malawi
This study’s aim was to understand perceived barriers associated with maternal health care service delivery in Malawi from the health personnel perspective. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected from 12 health facilities from across the country using semi-structured interview technique. The study found that barriers such as delayed health care financing, shortage of health personnel, poor record keeping of patients, irregular ambulator…
Fertility Differentials in Malawi
In Malawi, fertility is declining gradually with an average number of 5.5 children per woman. This is despite the country’s reported improved women’s contraceptive use of 46 percent recently. The study, therefore, explored socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with fertility levels at regional level in Malawi. Using 2010 Malawi Demographic and Health Survey data and Poisson Regression Model, the correlates of fertility across regions w…
Demographic and Socio-economic Factors Affecting Contraceptive Use in Malawi
Malawi has one of the highest Contraceptive Prevalence Rates (CPR) in sub-Saharan Africa. However, fertility remains high and fertility decline is slow. This paper uses data from the 2000 and 2004 Demographic and Health Surveys to examine correlates of contraceptive use among currently married women in Malawi. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to establish the relationships between socioeconomic variables and curre…
Estimates of Fertility for South Africa based on Rele Method, 1996-2011
The paper uses the 1996, 2001 and 2011 censuses and 2007 Community Survey to study levels, trends and differentials in fertility in South Africa using the Rele method that estimates fertility from the reported age distributions. At national level, Total Fertility Rate (TFR) remained constant at 3.3 children per woman between 1996 and 2001 but declined to 2.4 and 2.2 children per woman in 2007 and 2011, respectively. There are variations in fertil…
Fertility decline in Malawi
The paper examines trends in the proximate determinants of fertility (nuptiality or marriage, contraception and post-partum infecundability) in Malawi during the twelve-year period 1992-2004, with a view to explaining the factors responsible for fertility decline in the country. The study uses the Malawi Demographic and Health Surveys data sets of 1992, 2000 and 2004 and Bongaarts’ model of proximate determinants. The goal is to identify the impo…
Some patterns of internal migration in North West Province, South Africa, 1996-2001
Migration is an important component of population change in North West province of South Africa. Unfortunately, reliable data on migration is difficult to collect. The aim of this study is to provide estimates of net internal migration for North West province using indirect estimation procedure based on survival ratios. This method has been under-utilised in demographic research in the country. The results indicate that during the intercensal per…
