This book was released on 2014 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India continues to experience increased population growth, in spite of the country's nationally instituted family planning program that began in 1952. While there is research on the various factors contributing to the continued increase in fertility rates in India, previous studies have utilized older data sets (Chamie, 1981); (Yadava, 1999); (Jeffery & Jeffery, 2000); (Brookins & Brookins, 2012); (Kulkami & Algarajan, 2005). One theory about factors influencing fertility rates was explained by Chamie (1981). The theory acknowledges that fertility rates vary based on religion, but the underlying structural differences between religions has a stronger influence on fertility rates than the ideological differences. Chamie (1981) theorizes that socioeconomic factors are different between religious groups and the socioeconomic factors contribute more to differences in fertility than religious differences. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in fertility rates between Muslim women and Hindu women in India; as well as the impact that education and wealth, regardless of religion, have on fertility rates in India. It was predicted that Muslim women would have higher fertility rates than Hindu women. It was also predicted that increased education and wealth would both decrease fertility rates and have a larger impact on fertility rates than religion. Secondary data was used from the National Family Health Survey- 3 [NFHS-3] which was a survey conducted throughout the 29 states of India between 2005 and 2006. The total number of subjects was N=124,385. Data was analyzed using an ANOVA. It was found that fertility rates of Muslim and Hindu women were significantly different (Muslim x= 0.011 and Hindu x=-0.309). It was also found that for every unit increase in education, fertility rates decreased (x=-0.777 units of children). As wealth increased, fertility rates decreased (x=-0.131 units of children). It was found that education had a significantly greater influence on fertility rates than that of religion (R2 change= -0.811 > -0.304). An important implication of this study for the field of social work is the way in which education can be viewed to decrease fertility rates in India and countries facing similar population growth challenges. It is possible that programs aimed at increasing women's education level, to at least that of completing high school, would decrease lifetime fertility rates, and thus increases their self-determination and ability to gain financial resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the biological, methodological and sociological issues that have caused men to be overlooked in demographic and sociological literature of fertility. It explores the patterns and determinants of male fertility and studies male fertility rates as compared to those of females in 43 countries and places, over time. Data used in the aggregate level analysis come from multiple sources, including the 2001 United Nations Demographic Yearbook, the 1964 to 2004 Taiwan-Fukien Demographic Yearbooks, and National Statistics Reports by the Statistics Bureau of Republic of China. To explore male fertility determinants, the book analyzes individual data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) in the United States. The findings presented here demonstrate that male fertility differs from female fertility in both rates and determinants, which suggests that female fertility cannot fully represent human fertility.

Download or read book Religion and Fertility written by Joseph Chamie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-04-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a critical investigation into the relationship between religious affiliation, on the one hand, and fertility, family size preferences and family planning behaviour, on the other. Dr Chamie works from a set of unique data: the 1971 Fertility and Family Planning Survey in Lebanon. This survey is not only a national study of Lebanese fertility but also a large-scale survey (2,800 people) offering the opportunity to study Arab Christian-Muslim differentials. Lebanon's demographic situation has far greater scientific and practical importance than might be supposed from its relatively small population. From observing the important religious communities at different stages of social and economic development, Dr Chamie has thus been able to analyse the interacting effects of religion and socio-economic development on reproductive behaviour.
