the influence of neighbors Family Size Preference on progression to high parity births in rural nepal
Studies in Family Planning, 2013Co-Authors: Elyse A Jennings, Jennifer S BarberAbstract:Large families can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of women, children, and their communities. Although 60 percent of people in our rural Nepalese sample report that two children is their ideal number, nearly half of the married women continue childbearing after their second child. We explore the influence of women’s and their neighbors’ Family Size Preferences on women’s progression to higher parity birth, comparing this influence across two cohorts. We find that a) neighbors’ Family Size Preferences influence women’s fertility, b) older cohorts of women are more influenced by their neighbors’ Preferences than younger cohorts of women, and c) the influence of neighbors’ Preferences is independent of women’s own Preferences.

the influence of neighbors Family Size Preference on progression to high parity births in rural nepal
Studies in Family Planning, 2013Co-Authors: Elyse A Jennings, Jennifer S BarberAbstract:Large families can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of women, children, and their communities. Seventy-three percent of the individuals in our rural Nepalese sample report that two children is their ideal number, yet about half of the married women continue childbearing after their second child. Using longitudinal data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study, we explore the influence of women's and neighbors' Family Size Preferences on women's progression to high parity births, comparing this influence across two cohorts. We find that neighbors' Family Size Preferences influence women's fertility, that older cohorts of women are more influenced by their neighbors' Preferences than are younger cohorts of women, and that the influence of neighbors' Preferences is independent of women's own Preferences.

how does the sex composition of children affect men s higher ideal Family Size Preference relative to women and contraceptive use patterns among couples a cross sectional analysis of dyadic couple s data in india
SSM-Population Health, 2021Co-Authors: Arnab Dey, Rajib Acharya, Shweta Tomar, Jay G Silverman, Anita RajAbstract:Abstract Introduction Son Preference, an ongoing concern in India, is a known driver of ideal Family Size Preferences and contraceptive use among couples. These associations can vary substantially with parity and can influence men and women differently. This study assesses the association of sex composition of children by parity and a) men's higher ideal Family Size Preference relative to women and b) use of modern contraceptives by couples. Methods We used the Couples Recode dataset from National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2015-16 and identified couples who had at least one child and had complete responses for variables used in the study (N = 56,731 couples). We developed multivariable linear and logistic regression models to study the association between sex composition of children by parity and our dependent variables. Results Our findings indicate that the sex composition of children is associated with men's higher ideal Family Size Preference, relative to women, among couples with four or more children. We also find that couples with less than four children are less likely to use modern contraceptives when they have an equal or a greater number of daughters than sons compared to those who have no daughters. Findings suggest that couples with four or more children are more likely to use modern contraceptives when they have at least one son and one daughter and are less likely to use contraceptives when they have all daughters and no sons, than couples who have no daughters. Conclusion This study contributes to existing research on the relationship between sex composition of children with ideal Family Size Preferences and contraceptive use by highlighting meaningful differences between higher and lower parity couples. Findings from the study can be used by Family planning programs in India to customize Family planning counselling messages by both sex composition and parity.

explaining religious differentials in Family Size Preference evidence from nepal in 1996
Population Studies-a Journal of Demography, 2015Co-Authors: Lisa D Pearce, Sarah R BraunerottoAbstract:We examine how religio-ethnic identity, individual religiosity, and Family members' religiosity were related to preferred Family Size in Nepal in 1996. Analyses of survey data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study show that socio-economic characteristics and individual experiences can suppress, as well as largely account for, religio-ethnic differences in fertility Preference. These religio-ethnic differentials are associated with variance in particularized theologies or general value orientations (like son Preference) across groups. In addition, individual and Family religiosity are both positively associated with preferred Family Size, seemingly because of their association with religious beliefs—beliefs that are likely to shape fertility strategies. These findings suggest the need for improvements in how we conceptualize and measure supra-individual religious influence in a variety of settings and for a range of demographically interesting outcomes.
