CONTEXT: In Bolivia, the total fertility rate (TFR) among indigenous populations is higher than that among the non indigenous population. It is important to investigate whether this difference is attributable to ethnic differences in wanted or unwanted fertility. METHODS: Data from the 2003 Bolivian...

It is important to investigate whether this difference is attributable to ethnic differences in wanted or unwanted fertility. METHODS: Data from the 2003 Bolivian Demographic and Health Survey were used to estimate women's wanted and unwanted TFRs. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine whether women's, men's and couples' characteristics were associated with use of any contraceptive method and modern methods. RESULTS: The TFRs for indigenous and non indigenous women were 4.3 and 3.1, respectively. The wanted fertility rate for indigenous women was nearly the same as that for non indigenous women (2.7 and 2.6, respectively); virtually all of the ethnic difference in the TFRs was attributable to the ethnic difference in unwanted fertility. The proportion of women in need of contraception was greater among indigenous women than among non indigenous women (26% vs.19%).In logistic regression analyses, male fertility preferences explained only a small part of the ethnic difference in contraceptive use. CONCLUSION: Women's, men's and couples' preferences contribute only marginally to unwanted fertility, suggesting that structural factors act as obstacles to preventing unwanted fertility. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
