This volume brings together 13 well-researched and original essays which describe and analyse the trajectory of fertility decline in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Documenting the fact that the fertility decline occurred in regions with vast differences in development indicators, the contributors argue that this transition must be understood as a cumulative result of several factors including family planning policies, socio-economic transformation, and changes in social perceptions towards fertility, contraception, marriage, family and child rearing. Combining various qualitative and quantitative techniques with field studies and historical analysis, the contributors go beyond the formal tools of demography and develop an original Geographical Information System (GIS), a spatialized database encompassing south Indian districts.

First published in 1982, this collection was the result of an ambitious and wide-ranging, inter-disciplinary research programme conducted by the International Labour Office (ILO) on the relationship between women’s roles and demographic change, with a view to influencing contemporary government and non-government policy and future research in the field. The ILO held an informal gathering of leading researchers in the fields of economics, anthropology, sociology and demography and this volume represents a unique and practically-orientated collection, offering valuable insights into contemporary perspectives on women’s studies and population dynamics.

One understanding of child maltreatment is limited in that it is based almost entirely on research and clinical experience in Western nations. The cross-cultural record, a "natural laboratory" of human behavior, allows a consideration of child abuse and neglect from the perspective of a wider range of social and environmental conditions. Each of the nine original essays in this volume examines child-rearing practices and child maltreatment in the context of a culture very different from our own. There is no universal standard for optimal child rearing, nor for child abuse and neglect. Seeking culturally appropriate definitions of child abuse, the authors stress the socialization goals of the particular cultural group, the intentions and beliefs of adults in the group, and the interpretations children place on their treatment. The authors differentiate practices such as harsh initiation rites, severe punishment, or, conversely, many Western practices viewed as abusive by other cultures, from idiosyncratic mistreatment by individuals. They further distinguish idiosyncratic child abuse and neglect form the suffering caused children, and their families, by circumstances such as poverty, food scarcity, and disease. Though several of the essays focus on the socioeconomic factors implicated in the etiology of child abuse (particularly rapid socioeconomic change), they indicate that cultural factors determine how a society will respond to negative socioeconomic conditions. The authors concur that while children may be exposed to considerable hardship in these non-Western societies, harm at the hands of individual caretakers is rare. They consider factors in the cultural context that may act either to increase or to decrease the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. Among these factors are the value that a culture places on children in general, categories of children that are more vulnerable to mistreatment, beliefs about the developmental age capabilities of children, and, most important, the embeddedness of child rearing in a network of kin and community that extends beyond individual biological parents.

During a study of child rearing practices in Rajpur, Gujarat State, India, information was collected, observations were made, and comments were recorded in interviews and gossip sessions that were believed to be relevant to the Indian family planning program. As a result, questions were prepared to determine aspects of attitudes and practices regarding family planning. One of the objectives of the family planning phase of the study was to examine motivational determinants for high and low fertility attitudes. Since husband-wife communication is an important factor in adoption or non-adoption of a fertility control method, the available data on this aspect were also examined. The present report deals with both these areas. [1, 3]

Within the overall scope of a long term study being conducted at the Institute on rural development, an advance summary is provided of the salient factors governing women's lives in the family and their role in production in monsoonal and equatorial Asia. Reasons are suggested for major differences in the status of women in Southeast Asia as compared with those of South and East Asia. Cultural factors influencing female education, size of family, activities in production and earning ability are discussed. Actions necessary to meet the most pressing current and future needs of rural women are indicated.

Ramu analyses the relationship between changing family structure and fertility patterns in an Indian city. He shows that fertility decisions are made not only in relation to the couple's own marital and familial aspirations, but also with regard to the social environment in which the children are raised. Most of the couples in the study were decisively in favour of small families, defining large ones as a source of potential strain for themselves and their children. This suggests that the values governing the size of families are being redefined and will eventually have an impact on population growth.
