Book excerpt: Though the negative correlation between fertility and development has been long acknowledged, it is challenging to estimate the causal effect of female labor force participation (FLFP) on fertility. We use a novel instrument for estimating this effect: washing machines prices -- a relevant instrument, as these appliances have been found to increase FLFP by "liberating" women's time. We exploit the fall in prices resulting from trade reforms in Mexico to study FLFP's effects on fertility. We find large effects on fertility and mothers' age: increases in FLFP can explain at least 42% of the reduction in fertility experienced during this time.

Download or read book Impact of Women s Status on Fertility in the Kingdom of Bhutan written by Kibu Zangpo and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Women's status plays a very important role in the country of demographic transitions like Bhutan and to a large extent affect their fertility behaviors. In view of these considerations, the present study seeks to identify the possible impact of women's status on marital fertility behavior in Bhutan and endeavors to find out whether the fertility behavior of women in Bhutan has been determined by their status. Methods: The data used in this study is the secondary data from Bhutan Multiple Indicator Survey carried out by the National Statistical Bureau in 2010. The total sample identified was 16,823. Of these, the analysis was confirmed to ever-married women of 14,018 in reproductive aged (15-49) years. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses have been executed to explain the significant associations in the study. Results: The study revealed that the mean value of CEB among married Bhutanese women of reproductive age was 2.58 children. The findings also revealed that the probability of the model chi-square (7.0803) was 0.000, less than the level of significance at 0.05. Suggesting an existence of statistically significant associations between the explanatory variables and dependent variable. Conclusion: It can be concluded that program implementers should aim to augment and improve the women's status by focusing on these identified factors. It is therefore important that future efforts to manage and bring in a balance growth in population should, focus on the various dynamics that strongly determine the status of women and its empowerment in the country.
Download or read book Household and Economy written by Marc Nerlove and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household and Economy: Welfare Economics of Endogenous Fertility deals with welfare economics and the socially optimal population size, as well as the social consequences of individual choice with respect to family size within each generation. The general equilibrium implications of endogenous fertility for a number of issues of population policy are discussed. In addition to their own consumption, the number of children and the utility of each child is assumed to enter the utility function of the parents. Comprised of 10 chapters, this volume begins with a review of social welfare criteria for optimal population size and the static theory of optimal population size, optimal population growth with exogenous fertility, and the theory of endogenous fertility. The reader is then introduced to the basic principles of welfare economics and the economics of externalities, followed by a summary of the traditional theory of household behavior. Subsequent chapters focus on optimal population size according to various social welfare criteria; real and potential externalities generated by the endogeneity of fertility; and the principal alternative reason for having children: to transfer resources from the present to support the future consumption of parents in old age. The book concludes by assessing the implications of endogenous fertility for within-generation income distribution policies and reflecting on the directions in which future research may be fruitful. This monograph will be of value to economists, social scientists, students of welfare economics, and those who wish to understand the contribution of economic analysis to an improved understanding of population policy.

Download or read book American Women in Transition written by Suzanne M. Bianchi and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1986-09-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of eighteen projected volumes, to be published over the next two years, aimed at converting the vast statistical yield of the 1980 Census into authoritative analyses of major changes and trends in American life. A collaborative research effort, funded by public and private foundations, this series revives a tradition of independent Census analysis (the last such project was undertaken in 1960) and offers an unparalleled array of studies on various ethnic, geographic, and status dimensions of the U.S. population. It is entirely appropriate that the inaugural volume in this series should document trends in the status of American women. Dramatic social and demographic changes over the past two decades make American Women in Transition a landmark, an invaluable one-volume summary and assessment of women's move from the private domain to the public. Clearly and in detail, the authors describe women's increasing educational attainment and labor force participation, their lagging earning power, their continued commitment to marriage and family, and the "balancing act" necessitated by this overlap of roles. Supplementing 1980 Census data with even more recent surveys from the Census Bureau and other federal agencies, Bianchi and Spain are able to extend these trends into the 1980s and sketch the complex challenges posed by such lasting and historic changes. This definitive and sensitive study is certain to become a standard reference work on American women today, and an essential foundation for future scholarship and policy concerning the status of women in our society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wonderful compendium of everything you always wanted to know about trends in women's roles—both in and out of the home. It is a balanced and data-rich assessment of how far women have come and how far they still have to go. "—Isabelle Sawhill, Urban Institute "Based primarily on the 1990 population census, Balancing Act reports on the current situation of American women and temporal and cross-national comparisons. Meticulously and clearly presented, the information in this book highlights changing behaviors, such as the growing incidence of childbearing to older women, and unmarried women in general, and a higher ratio of women's earnings to men's. The authors' thoughtful analysis of these and other factors involved in women's fin de siècle 'balancing act' make this an indispensable reference book and valuable classroom resource." —Louise A. Tilly, Michael E. Gellert Professor of History and Sociology, The New School for Social Research In Balancing Act, authors Daphne Spain and Suzanne Bianchi draw upon multiple census and survey sources to detail the shifting conditions under which women manage their roles as mothers, wives, and breadwinners. They chronicle the progress made in education—where female college enrollment now exceeds that of males—and the workforce, where women have entered a wider variety of occupations and are staying on the job longer, even after becoming wives and mothers. But despite progress, lower-paying service and clerical positions remain predominantly female, and although the salary gap between men and women has shrunk, women are still paid less. As women continue to establish a greater presence outside the home, many have delayed marriage and motherhood. Marked jumps in divorce and out-of-wedlock childbirth have given rise to significant numbers of female-headed households. Married women who work contribute more significantly than ever to the financial well-being of their families, yet evidence shows that they continue to perform most household chores. Balancing Act focuses on how American women juggle the simultaneous demands of caregiving and wage earning, and compares their options to those of women in other countries. The United States is the only industrialized nation without policies to support working mothers and their families—most tellingly in the absence of subsidized childcare services. Many women are forced to work in less rewarding part-time or traditionally female jobs that allow easy exit and re-entry, and as a consequence poverty is the single greatest danger facing American women. As the authors show, the risk of poverty varies significantly by race and ethnicity, with African Americans—most of whose children live in mother-only families—the most adversely affected. This volume contributes to the national dialogue about family policy, welfare reform, and responsibility for children by highlighting the pivotal roles women play at the intersection of family and work.

Download or read book A Theoretical Model for the Study of Migration and Urbanisation written by David Joe Achanfuo-Yeboah and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great diversity of processes in migration and urbanisation makes it necessary to have a framework which would allow migration and urbanisation to be studied with all their attributes. Several factors work individually and jointly to influence migration and urbanisation. These may be classified as demographic, social, cultural, economic, and political. The proposed model is based on the principle that sociocultural, economic and political developments work through a number of variables, to increase the propensity to migrate and, hence, influence internal migration and urbanisation. The utility of this model is that it will make it easier to carry out empirical studies of the determinants of migration and urbanisation.
