FAMILY SIZE, SEX COMPOSITION OF CHILDREN AND CONTRACEPTIVE USE: A CASE STUDY OF KERALA( )
Measures of parental sex preference on contraceptive acceptance has been constructed using a multiplicative model. These measures avoid some of the arbitrariness in the computation of similar measures proponed by Arnold (1985) and Chowdhuri and Bairagi (1988). The model is generalized to facilitate...

| description | Measures of parental sex preference on contraceptive acceptance has been constructed using a multiplicative model. These measures avoid some of the arbitrariness in the computation of similar measures proponed by Arnold (1985) and Chowdhuri and Bairagi (1988). The model is generalized to facilitate computation of simultaneous effects of the number of male and female children and family size on contraceptive use. The models were applied to the data from the 1980 Kerala Fertility Survey. The results showed significant influence of family size in accepting contraceptive use. Once family size is controlled, the contraceptive acceptance is high among large families with all female children. L'autore, usando un modello moltiplicativo, misura l'impatto della preferenza del sesso dei figli da parte dei genitori sul ricorso alla contraccezione. Le misure proposte permettono di evitare alcune arbitrarietà presenti in indici similari costruiti da Arnold (1985) e Chowduri-Bairagi (1988). Il modello è generalizzato per facilitare la stima dell'effetto simultaneo del numero di bambini e bambine e della dimensione familiare sull'uso di contraccettivi. Il modello è stato applicato ai dati della indagine sulla Fecondità del Kerala del 1980. I risultati mettono in luce una significativa influenza della dimensione familiare sull'accettazione della contraccezione. A parità di dimensione familiare, l'accettazione è elevata tra le famiglie di ampie dimensioni in cui sono presenti solo figlie femmine. |
