Abstract

Comparable household-level survey data for the same population at two times are essential for many types of analysis in which age, period and cohort effects must be distinguished. Until recently, it was rare to have usable micro-level data from developing countries collected at two times, far enough apart to allow for significant demographic change in the interim (Hermalin, Entwisle and Myers, 1985). The availability of data sets from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) for many of the same countries in which the World Fertility Survey was carried out has started to improve the situation greatly, enabling cross-national comparisons of changes over a decade or more for countries at different stages of the demographic transition. A growing number of countries have conducted a second DHS survey, and third surveys are planned in some countries, e.g. Indonesia.
