Population Growth and Socioeconomic Progress in Less Developed Countries by Peter Hess Pdf

This timely study examines fertility rates and their trends and determinants in less-developed countries by testing an empirical, interdisciplinary model of the fertility transition. In light of the current official position of the United States on population and development, the policy implications of the study are timely. According to some experts, interrupting the spiral of rapid growth and attendant economic and ecological deterioration now rivals nuclear disarmament in importance on the international agenda. Among the questions investigated include: Are there identifiable traits for developing nations that have reduced fertility? Has development become the best contraceptive? Have some development strategies been more conducive to lowering fertility? Do family planning programs have significant impacts on fertility?

Fertility Transition in the Developing World by John Bongaarts,Dennis Hodgson Pdf

This open access book provides an overview and analysis of the causes and consequences of the massive and highly consequential transition in reproductive behaviour that occurred in Asia, Latin America, and Africa since the mid-20th century. In the 1950s contraceptive use was rare and women typically spend most of their reproductive years bearing and rearing children. By 2020 fertility and contraceptive use in Asia and Latin America reached levels commonly observed in the developed world. Africa’s fertility is still high, but transitions have started in all countries. This monograph is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of these trends and their determinants, covering changes in reproductive behaviour (e.g., use of contraception and abortion), preferences (e.g., desire to limit and space births) and the role of socioeconomic development (e.g., education). The role of government policies and in particular family planning programs is discussed in depth. Particular attention is given to provide a balanced assessment of several political and scientific controversies that have beset the field. As such this book provides an interesting read for a wide audience of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and public health policy makers.

Population and Development by Geoffrey Hawthorn Pdf

First published in 1978, this book explores the vital global issue of high and low fertility in poorer countries through a series of case studies by contemporary experts in the fields of development and demography. These studies examine such issues as: the relations between fertility rates and income distributions in poor societies; the question of whether or not neo-classical macro-economics are sufficient to understand and to try to engineer relations between economies and populations; and the specifics of the relations between fertility and a variety of socio-economic factors in both South Asia and West Africa. The point of the collection is to explain how very far general models can be taken, and to suggest that they cannot be taken as far as those who have tended to ignore the structural complexities of, and differences between, various societies have implied.

Toward a New Model of Fertility by Kathryn B. Ward Pdf

This paper proposes that the influence of economic development on the status of women and fertility behavior can best be understood within the context of the world economic system. Foreign investment and trade dependency are hypothesized to lower the economic status of women. In turn, efforts to reduce fertility may be stymied by the lowered status of women and economic disdevelopment generated by investment and dependency. Cross-sectional regression analyses on a sample of 105 nation-states indicate that foreign investment and dependency have negative effects on women's economic status. Net of the level of development and the educational and economic status of women, investment and dependency through the effects of income inequality and infant mortality also operate to raise fertility behavior in 1975. Family planning programs are likely to be less than effective if the influence of the world economic system and the declining economic status of women on fertility are not taken into consideration.
