The author discusses the use of loglinear models in demographic analysis, particularly with regard to the analysis of contingency tables. Their use is illustrated using data from the 1980 World Fertility Survey for Sudan to analyze the determinants of fifth-birth intervals. The results show "the ability of the technique to improve our understanding of the mechanism of fertility differentials using individual--instead of aggregate--data. It has shown how each variable affects the process when all other variables are held constant."

This study identifies the causes of fertility decline in Jordan for the period 1976-83, and suggests family planning program and related development activities which should be implemented through future policy regarding fertility reduction. Employing information from the 1976 Jordan Fertility Survey, the 1983 Fertility and Family Health Survey, and the 1985 Jordan Husbands Survey, fertility levels and trends are reviewed and investigated with a view upon differentials and changes of determinant factors during 1976-85. Determinant factors considered include age at marriage, contraceptive use, breastfeeding, and postpartum abstinence, with consideration of their correlation with socioeconomic and cultural background characteristics. The study encourages delayed age of 1st marriage, and calls for promotion of accessible education of all types especially in poor, rural areas to women. Family planning should be promoted as an health issue, and fully integrated with child and maternal programs, information, education, and communication programs, and rural development projects. The young and married couples should not be excluded from service availability, and women's status and roles in the community must be improved. Finally, upgraded management of family planning programs, and increasing male involvement in family planning should also be future policy priorities for Jordan.

The availability through cross-sectional surveys of individual-level data on birth histories has led to a view of fertility as a sequential process in which the rate of transition from 1 parity to the next is determined by parity-specific factors. The contribution of factors such as age or contraceptive usage can be assessed more accurately by studying birth intervals; however, this approach is subject to the methodological problems of reporting errors and selectivity. To overcome these difficulties, demographers rely on multivariate life tables. In the hazard model, covariates are used to determine the likelihood that a woman exposed to the risk of having a birth of a given order will do so in a certain month after initiating the interval. The 2nd model, which considers time in its discrete rather than continuous form, uses a log linear model to describe the relationship between the proportion of women having a birth within a specific duration segment and the woman's characteristics. The choice of life table method depends both on the type of available data and the availability of suitable computer software. Although this paper focuses on the application of life table analysis to birth intervals, this approach is generalizable to the study of contraceptive efficacy, infant mortality, marriage dissolution, and other demographic phenomena.
