Book excerpt: One of the salient features to strike the researcher doing the study on culture and fertility of the people in Peninsular Malaysia is the cultural heterogeneity of its present population. Although the Malays or "bumiputeras" (sons of the soil) were original residents, other ethnic groups, mainly the Indonesians, Chinese and Indians, have contributed to current size, composition and distribution of the population through the process of immigration in the course of history. the topical areas under the first two sections of this monograph are indeed very wide, both in time and other perspectives. As a result, we have demarcated the period prior to the impact of colonialism and the growth of plural society during the British period as points in time which have relevant demographic and cultural significance for the purposes of this paper.

Book excerpt: As discussed in this paper, fertility behaviour is determined by various factors such as ethnicity, education, income and other variables. In Singapore, ethnicity is found to be the most significant factor affecting all the four fertility-related measures, namely, the number of children ever born, desired family size, wife's age at first marriage, and current contraceptive use.

Book Synopsis Diffusion Processes and Fertility Transition by : National Research Council
Download or read book Diffusion Processes and Fertility Transition written by National Research Council. This book was released on 2001-12-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is part of an effort to review what is known about the determinants of fertility transition in developing countries and to identify lessons that might lead to policies aimed at lowering fertility. It addresses the roles of diffusion processes, ideational change, social networks, and mass communications in changing behavior and values, especially as related to childbearing. A new body of empirical research is currently emerging from studies of social networks in Asia (Thailand, Taiwan, Korea), Latin America (Costa Rica), and Sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Ghana). Given the potential significance of social interactions to the design of effective family planning programs in high-fertility settings, efforts to synthesize this emerging body of literature are clearly important.

Book Synopsis Culture and Fertility by : Parsudi Suparlan
Download or read book Culture and Fertility written by Parsudi Suparlan. This book was released on 1980. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These five countries monographs, stemming from a regional research project on "Culture and fertility in Southeast Asia", initiated by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, aim at bridging a gap in the study of relationship between ethnicity and fertility in the region. Developed on essentially the same lines, each monograph presents in turn the individual country's historical background leading to the present social structure; the patterns of intergroup behaviour; population policies and family planning programmes; the development of the demographic structure; and finally an analysis of available secondary data, using multiple classification analysis, to determine the impact of key variables on fertility patterns. Though each is an entity in itself, the five monographs complement one another and taken together provide a useful background for future research in the field.
