background and purpose: birth outcomes and fertility measures are commonly evaluated in maternal and child health integrated program (mchip) in the field of public health. given the key role of time- trend study in the projection of current data to the future, this population-based study aimed to describe the significant changes of birth outcomes and fertility measures in the rural population o...

This paper develops a model wherein labor income is affected by work experience; further, it analyzes how the fertility rate is determined. In the case where the wage rate is affected through on-the-job training (OJT) or work experience, the fertility rate converges to a low level or continues to increase. Moreover, this paper demonstrates the effects of two childcare support policies. A childc...

KEY FINDINGS From 2007 through 2009, birth rates for women aged 15-44 (fertility rates) fell for most states and nearly all major population subgroups. Birth rates declined for all women under age 40 with some of the largest decreases for women in their peak childbearing years. Fertility rates dropped for all major racial and Hispanic groups with the largest declines among Hispanic women. Birth...

INDIA Health information system is needed at small area such as sub-centres (SC), Primary Health Centres (PHC) or district level for health planning. This includes monitoring of maternal and child health services, providing warning signals to identify specific problematic areas and improving them through necessary interventions. One of such problematic situations has been the high levels of fer...

Indirect estimation methodologies of the total fertility rate (TFR) have a long history within demography and have provided important techniques applied demographers can use when data is sparse or lacking. However new methodologies for approximating the total fertility rate have not been proposed in nearly 30 years. This study presents a novel method for indirectly approximating the total ferti...
