Values and disvalues of children in successive childbearing decisions

The values and disvalues that wives and husbands in the Philippines, South Korea, and the United States attach to having another child are described from national survey data. Loglinear models are used to demonstrate that both country and parity affect value and disvalues rankings, but respondent’s sex does not. The differences in values and disvalues across parities suggest a multistage model of family formation, with perceptions of successive children linked to periods in family development. It is argued that this multistage. model is consistent with changes in the value of children in the fertility transition.

Choosing a contraceptive: method choice in Asia and the United States.

This book presents evidence from recent investigations of contraceptive method choice in a variety of countries focusing on Asia and the US. Included are discussions of psychosocial and economic approaches to understanding method choice descriptive and analytical analyses of choices and an integrative summary that concludes the volume. The 1st chapter sketches a framework for investigating contraceptive method choice. The chapters in part I describe various perspectives for interpreting individual method choices--filters you perceive when you look upward through the funnel. The 1st perspective considered in chapter 2 is the psychological which interprets choices with reference to personal attitudes and values. Chapter 3 considers physicians perceptions as they modify contraceptive choice. Distinguishable from psychological factors though also at least partly matters of perception are access considerations which define the perspective of chapter 4. Chapter 5 adopts an economic perspective in interpreting variations in choice. The chapters that follow deal with individual countries most of them Asian. Several chapters of Part I also provide comparable analysis of non-Asian countries--Egypt Mauritius Peru Jamaica and the US. In Part II the authors consider contraceptive choices in 6 Asian countries--the Republic of Korea Malaysia Thailand Sri Lanka India and Bangladesh. Part II provides a contrast in setting looking at method choice in the US.

Influences on childbearing intentions across the fertility career: demographic and socioeconomic factors and the value of children.

The influence of various determinants of childbearing intentions throughout the fertility career is investigated using data for 7 countries from the Value of Children project. It is hypothesized that several sets of determinants--age and childbearing experience socioeconomic characteristics and values and disvalues attached to children--have distinctive effects on fertility intentions at particular parities. Desire for another child and ideal family size are taken to represent fertility intentions. From cognitive-balance principles it is argued that these 2 measures are interdependent; they are treated as jointly determined in 2-stage least squares regressions run first across all parities and then within specific parities. Some hypotheses particularly those relating to gender preference receive good support; others such as those relating to income and education do not. Mixed results are reported for the predicted effects of values and disvalues. In interpreting the results attention is directed to contrasts between the 2 measures of fertility intentions to the implications of the relative importance of particular factors across countries and to the usefulness of a perspective on fertility decision making that combines the single-decision and the successive-decisions approaches.
