Translating pilot project success into national policy development: Two projects in Bangladesh
Author: James F. PhillipsPrescriptions for policy change pervade the research literature on population programmes. While the audience for such conclusions may be receptive to the wisdom imparted, established bureaucracies resist systemic renewal and reform. Even if policies are modified in response to research, the promulgated changes often fail to influence what public-sector programmes actually do, since bureaucratic traditions outweigh reasoned responses to research outcomes.

Female autonomy and fertility: An overview of the situation in South Asia
Author: United NationsFertility in the Asian and Pacific region has been falling with notable uneveness over the past one and half decades and there has been considerable variability in the decline among the subregions. Fertility in the region declined 36.8 per cent from 1960-1965 to 1980-1985 and most of the decline (30.8 per cent) occurred during the period 1970-1975 to 1980-1985.

Fertility transition in Bangladesh: Trends and determinants
Author: United NationsIn the late 1970s there was a consensus that pronounced fertility declines had occurred in many developing countries (Dyson and Murphy, 1985; Knodel, 1984). Bangladesh however was an exception and, even if some changes in fertility did take place, any analysis of those changes would be severely hampered owing to the poor quality and unreliability of its data. Nonetheless, because of recent improvements in data quality, particularly since the middle of the last decade, it is possible to examine trends in fertility patterns for the period 1975 -1985. However, some data from earlier periods are also used for drawing conclusions. Note should be taken of the fact that these data have specific methodological problems that raise questions about their comparability over time and cross-sectionally. Therefore, caution must be exercised in interpreting the estimates.
