Download or read book Women and Fertility in Bangladesh written by Alia Ahmad and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1991-09-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women who need effective birth control most are often the ones who find modern contraceptives unaffordable. So goes the cruel catch-22 affecting many of India's poorer women. Concisely and competently, Alia Ahmad sheds light on the links between the insecure socio-economic status of women and their fertility behavior. Women and Fertility in Bangladesh uses Bangladesh as a case study for analyzing this link--and what can be done to improve the status of women in India. Enlightening and thought provoking, Women and Fertility in Bangladesh is clearly written and quite accessible. Alia Ahmad's study will be required reading for anyone interested in gender studies, population studies, sociology, and economics. "The book is not only a good source of information in theoretical linkages between women's status and fertility but also provides some evidence on the related issues in the context of Bangladeshi society."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study describes the psychological development and gender role expectations in the various life stages of an individual in Bangladeshi culture and relates these stages to sexual and reproductive behavior. The authors, both anthropologists, examined the topical life histories of 65 male and female respondents from 5 contiguous villages in Matlab Thana. These personal histories form the basis for chapters on stages of life, childhood and psychosexual development, adolescence and gender roles, adulthood and gender roles, sexual relations outside marriage, range of sexual behavior, and reciprocal relationships within the life cycle. Then, fertility is examined from an anthropological perspective in the final chapters on cultural factors and fertility, fertility control and the stages of life, traditional communication and knowledge of sex, and family life education. At least half of the life history respondents expressed support for family planning and modern methods. Maximum fertility is prevented in the 2nd half of women's reproductive years by traditional mechanisms such as self-restraint, absence of spouse, occasional abstention, and rhythm. The use of modern contraception is supported on the grounds of avoiding economic hardship, maintaining mental peace, and leading a happy life. The most useful approach for family planning field workers seems to be to get to know the men of the village in public places, then the older women, and finally the young women, establishing at each stage the confidence and fictive kinship relationship appropriate. In this way, communication is possible without challenging deeply rooted distinctions of gender roles and life stages.

Download or read book Fertility Decline Women s Status and Ngos in Bangladesh written by Abdul Goni and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bangladesh, very few researchers have studied the relationships between participation of female labour force and fertility decline and the contribution of women's employment on their status and consequently on fertility decline in the country. In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the fertility-employment relationships and, by focusing on the activities of GOs and NGOs, to explore the significant factors of women's status and the impact of women's status on reducing fertility. It is hoped that this book will be useful to the researchers and academicians to know more about of women's status and its contribution on reducing fertility, and will help the policy planners to formulate future strategies for women's status and to achieve a further fertility decline in the country.
