Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the salient features to strike the researcher doing the study on culture and fertility of the people in Peninsular Malaysia is the cultural heterogeneity of its present population. Although the Malays or "bumiputeras" (sons of the soil) were original residents, other ethnic groups, mainly the Indonesians, Chinese and Indians, have contributed to current size, composition and distribution of the population through the process of immigration in the course of history. the topical areas under the first two sections of this monograph are indeed very wide, both in time and other perspectives. As a result, we have demarcated the period prior to the impact of colonialism and the growth of plural society during the British period as points in time which have relevant demographic and cultural significance for the purposes of this paper.

Download or read book Multivariate Areal Analysis of the Efficiency of Family Planning Programme and Its Impact on Fertility in Peninsular Malaysia written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data from the 1980 Malaysian census, this paper reports on a project that tests methodology for measuring the impact of family planning programs on fertility. It also develops an efficiency measure that could be used by program administrators for adjusting program management. In the 1st phase of the project, subnational aggregate data are analyzed using a multivariate areal analysis technic. Based on the regression results an efficiency index was constructed for each sub-unit, the lowest administrative program unit. Sub-units were than ranked in order from the most efficient to the least. A sample from the 2 extreme quartiles was used to analyze differential performance using clinical and other selected data. A multivariate analysis of program and non-program inputs decomposed the relative contribution of socioeconomic development and family planning inputs on fertility. The study concludes that a strong cultural factor affects fertility; social mobility is essential in promoting fertility decline. Family planning efforts directly affect fertility and need to be strengthened. Policies to improve living conditions and educational status will raise contraceptive prevalence. In-depth case studies could help to characterize the least efficient units. Efforts should be made to develop simple statistical estimation technics for multivariate areal analysis to overcome unequal areal sizes, as current regression analysis tends to have biased estimates without appropriate weighting.

Download or read book The Economic Consequences of Demographic Change in East Asia written by Takatoshi Ito and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies show that almost all industrial countries have experienced dramatic decreases in both fertility and mortality rates. This situation has led to aging societies with economies that suffer from both a decline in the working population and a rise in fiscal deficits linked to increased government spending. East Asia exemplifies these trends, and this volume offers an in-depth look at how long-term demographic transitions have taken shape there and how they have affected the economy in the region. The Economic Consequences of Demographic Change in East Asia assembles a group of experts to explore such topics as comparative demographic change, population aging, the rising cost of health care, and specific policy concerns in individual countries. The volume provides an overview of economic growth in East Asia as well as more specific studies on Japan, Korea, China, and Hong Kong. Offering important insights into the causes and consequences of this transition, this book will benefit students, researchers, and policy makers focused on East Asia as well as anyone concerned with similar trends elsewhere in the world.

Download or read book Care Relations in Southeast Asia written by Patcharawalai Wongboonsin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care Relations in Southeast Asia: The Family and Beyond, edited by Patcharawalai Wongboonsin and Jo-Pei Tan, examines the care relations and transactions within and beyond the family network across three middle-income Southeast Asian countries, namely the Federation of Malaysia, the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the national and sub-national level. On the national level, changes and continuity in care relations along the changing demographic, socio-economic and political contexts of each country are addressed. On the sub-national level, the complex dimensions of care relations are analyzed by looking at the attitude towards and practice of elderly and child care within, between and beyond the family system. These regional analyses are based on merged data of three most recent family surveys in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok Metropolis, and Hanoi. Alternative and innovative policy recommendations for current and future challenges are also offered. Contains contributions by: Asmidawati Ashari, Ki Soo Eun, Tengku Aizan Hamid, Rahimah Ibrahim, Thuttai Keeratipongpaiboon, Nguyen Huu Minh, Pataporn Sukontamarn, Jo-Pei Tan, Tran Thi Minh Thi, Kua Wongboonsin and Patcharawalai Wongboonsin
Download or read book The Revolution in Asian Fertility written by Richard Leete and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countries of Asia, whose combined populations in 1990 totalled 3.1 billion (59 per cent of the world's total), have completed, or are in the midst of, a remarkable revolution in reproductive behaviour - a dramatic shift away from high and relatively uncontrolled child-bearing to a situation where most couples control their reproductive behaviour. This revolution has transcended political, social, economic, cultural, and religious boundaries, and its speed and momentum are historically unprecedented. Partly because of these factors, partly because Asian fertility is a key determinant of world population growth, and partly because the causes of the earlier Western fertility decline are still not fully understood, the Asian reproductive revolution is of great importance and interest to planners and social scientists. This book is the first major attempt to chart and explain the Asian fertility transition and to assess its implications. It begins by examining the relevance of current fertility transition hypotheses to the Asian context. It makes a comprehensive analysis of the evidence - including regional and ethnic variations within countries and comparisons of similar cultural groups in different countries - and challenges conventional theories of population change. It demonstrates how the transition has important implications for social, economic, and welfare policies, and how Asian governments have responded so far. The book concludes by arguing that, based on the Asian experience, an adequate theory of demographic transition must include three separate elements; socio-economic change, the availability and legitimation of family planning, and the pressure exerted by government.
