Women’s status and child survival in West Java, Indonesia
Author: WidayatunWomen have more limited opportunities than men in most economic and social activities. It has been asserted that aspects of women’s status or position in society are closely related to the demographic events of fertility, mortality and migration. For instance, evidence from a variety of studies demonstrates a positive relationship between women’s education and occupation on one hand, and child survival on the other. This phenomenon, therefore, leads to the conclusion that women’s limited opportunities in terms of education and occupation can result in lower child survival.

The KAP-Gap in Nepal: Reasons for non-use of contraception among couples with an unmet need for family planning
Authors: Ashoke Shrestha, John Stoeckel and Jayanti Man TuladharFertility and family planning surveys conducted in developing countries around the world have consistently reported an inverse relationship between fertility preferences and the practice of contraception. These surveys have also shown, however, that substantial proportions of women stating that they do not want any more children are not practising contraception. These proportions generally range from 25 to 50 per cent, and reach even higher levels in Africa. This discrepancy between women’s stated preference to have no more children and their non-use of contraception is euphemistically referred to as the “KAP-Gap”.

Impact of a self-reliance programme on family planning activities in Bangladesh
Authors: M. Nurul Islam, M. Mujibur Rahman, M. Kabir and S.A. MallickDespite the long history of the family planning programme in Bangladesh, the contraceptive prevalence level remains low and consequently the rate of population growth has remained persistently high. Several factors can be attributed to low contraceptive prevalence. The most important factors are low levels of socio-economic development, the lower status of women, the strong preference for sons, the high level of infant and child mortality and limited access to health and family planning facilities.
