Recollections
This paper traces collecting practices and field research in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea during the 1960s and 1970s, when there was heightened interest in the cultural heritage of Papua New Guineans in Australia. It begins with William Dargie, chairman of the Commonwealth Arts Advisory Board, who went to the Sepik in 1968–69. It then investigates the collecting activities of several other Australians working in the Sepik region at that t…
ARTventures
The unpublished work ARTventures: Art and Life in the Contemporary Pacific is a literary memoir recounting Susan Cochrane’s unorthodox life as a roaming curator of contemporary Pacific art. The narrative intertwines vignettes of the author’s personal life with her experiences as a “poken” (slang for English-speaking foreigner) in New Caledonia; on fieldwork trips collecting art in remote areas of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu…
The Effects of Fertility Intentions and Access to Services on Contraceptive Use in Tunisia
Education, Income, and Desired Fertility in Egypt
The Off-Farm Labor Supply of Farmers
Egypt
The major objectives of this volume are 1) to identify the salient features of the diversity in patterns of demographic preference and behavior in Egypt and 2) to investigate the way in which social and economic modernization has shaped these patterns and affected the underlying process. The studies presented here draw on the data collected in the Egyptian Fertility Survey conducted in 1980 by the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statis…
Socioeconomic determinants of infant and child mortality in developing countries
Microlevel analysis and inferential statistics offer some clues to high infant mortality rates in parts of the Third World
Parental education and child health
Fertility and Family Planning in Rural Northern Thailand
Fertility and Education
Fertility and Education
Fertility and Education. What Do We Really Know
Current research on the relationship between education and fertility is reviewed, and a model relating intervening variables to fertility is developed. The evidence indicates that education may increase or decrease individual fertility. The decrease is greater for the education of women than of men and is greater in urban than in rural areas. However, education is more likely to increase fertility in countries with the lowest level of female lite…
Fertility and Education
The dual and the exchange‐constrained economy
Nelson's model of the exchange‐constrained economy is compared with Eckaus's model of the dual economy. The purpose of this comparison is to illustrate the similarity of the models in explaining unemployment of one factor as the result of the composition of demand and the scarcity of a second factor. Both authors agree to this point. However, Nelson emphasises that unemployment arises from price rigidity while Eckaus maintains that technological …
Husband-Wife Differences in the Demand for Children
The presence or absence of differences between husbands and wives in patterns of relationship between certain economic variables and desired family size may indicate: a) whether or not conjugal roles condition the effects of economic factors on the demand for children; and b) the extent to which assumptions in economic models of fertility about the nature and existence of common family utility functions are empirically supported. In order to test…
Children as by-products, investment goods and consumer goods
This paper is a review of a number of applications of traditional micro-economics to the analysis of fertility. In this paper four general models of family size are developed and utilized for classifying previous work on the micro-economic analysis of fertility. The general models describe four family decision-making situations. The outcome of these decisions determines fertility either directly or indirectly. In the first model, parents are forc…
Factors affecting the choice of contraceptive method by a group of OEO patients
A method of discriminant analysis is described whereby a combination of personal characteristics is established which would best predict whether a woman would choose oral or IUD contraception. The study hypothesized that, at the time of choice, a higher level of motivation is necessary to accept an IUD rather than oral contraception. Approximately 450 patients at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Columbia, South Carolina, were studied between Octobe…
Population and Development
Mortality level, desired family size, and population increase
In this paper an attempt is made to elaborate on the behavioral assumptions underlying a simulation model published in a previous volume of this journal (Heer and Smith, 1968). The present paper contains a discussion of the ways in which a fall in the death rate of children will affect the desirability of another birth if the family's objective is to have a son surviving to the father's sixty-fifth birthday. The death rate affects both the expect…
