Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.

Download or read book Multivariate Life Table Methodology for Estimating the Effect of Child Mortality on the Total Fertility Rate and Its Components written by Hassan Eini-Zinab and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops, validates, and applies new multivariate methodology to assess the effect of child mortality on both period and cohort measures of fertility. The methodology, which can be applied to period data as well as cohort data, is based on discrete-time survival models of parity progression that enable construction of a multivariate life table of fertility covering all parity transitions. The five dimensions of this life table are woman's age, parity, duration in parity, and two dimensions representing lagged child mortality (number of dead children at the beginning and end of the previous year when the woman was one year younger). Additional socioeconomic predictor variables are also included in the underlying survival models. The life table is multivariate in the sense that it can be specified for values or categories of one socioeconomic predictor variable while holding other socioeconomic predictors constant. The life table yields a number of measures of both the quantum and the tempo of fertility and child mortality. It also yields a replacement rate, which measures the extent to which child deaths are replaced by additional births. Because the life table is multivariate, all measures calculated from it are also multivariate. By way of illustration, the methodology is applied to three Indian National Family Health Surveys conducted in 1992-93 (NFHS-1), 1998-99 (NFHS-2), and 2005-06 (NFHS-3). Major findings are that dead children are incompletely replaced, and that the replacement rate rises as the total fertility rate falls over the three surveys, reflecting women's increasing ability to achieve their wanted number of surviving children.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the relationships among measures of mortality, fertility, burden of disease, and socioeconomic factors. Regression modeling is used to determine (1) whether population mortality or child mortality better forecasts fertility levels; (2) if a child health model provides a stronger indicator of fertility than child mortality alone; and (3) what impact socioeconomic controls have on the application of these models. A global dataset of 143 countries over a fifteen-year time span (1990-2005) is used. Results indicate that both the child mortality rate and the child health model are strong indicators of fertility change and produce better results than population mortality or socioeconomic factors alone. Use of health measures has an additional advantage over child mortality: health indicators are easily linked to policy and lend themselves to action. The models were then applied at the country level with regional data from India, Mexico, and the Philippines. As with the global analysis, population mortality was found to be a relatively poor indicator of fertility levels. However, the performance of the child health model varied significantly, as did the significance of individual predictor variables within the model. In all country analyses, the model assisted in the identification of the child health factors that are most related to fertility rates within each particular setting. The use of health measures as indicators of fertility change adds value in two ways: (1) by facilitating the linkage of changes in fertility levels to specific contributing factors that can inform good health policy decisions and (2) by associating health status to population growth, health advocates can elevate the importance of health policies among the many competing national priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion responds to the questions of programs to reduce mortality and of how large a change in growth will result from efforts to lower fertility. It considers the influence of the policies or programs in question on mortality and on fertility, and the influence of the resulting fertility or mortality decline on the rate of change in the other. An approach of the sort required to adequately assess these policies or programs is difficult to apply, but its potential significance for policy and program analysis can be illustrated through a few qualitative and crude quantitative examples. These illustrations suggest two propositions to serve as interim guides to action and as hypotheses to be confirmed or disproven through future research. First, most programs and policies undertaken to reduce mortality will produce even larger fertility declines and thus slower growth. And, second, most measures designed to reduce fertility will also result in slower growth, but by an amount that may be significantly less than anticipated on the basis of conventional assessment techniques.
Download or read book The Effects of Education on Fertility and Mortality and the Effects of Education and Urbanization on Fertility written by World Bank. Education and Training Department and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the effects of education on fertility and mortality. It states that the higher the level of the parents' education, the lower the mortality of their children. The effect of education on fertility is somewhat more complicated. While fertility decreases uniformly with education in some environments, in other situations there appears to be a threshold level of education and only at levels beyond primary school does fertility decrease with an increase in education.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 977 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More children born today will survive to adulthood than at any time in history. It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence--developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.
