Son Preference, Modern Contraception, and Fertility Intention in the Context of Polygyny in Pakistan: Evidence From Demographic and Health Survey 2017–2018
Introduction
The research explores the association between son preference, utilization of modern contraception, and fertility intention among polygynous families in Pakistan.
Method
Logistic regression, margins plot, and propensity score matching techniques were implied for the analysis, using demographic and health surveys 2017–2018.
Results
The results reveal higher odds for using modern contraception (0.51) and lower odds for demanding more children (2.56) among women having only sons as compared to women having only daughters with (0.4) and (6.7) odds for the same factors. Propensity score matching results show that after controlling for all demographic factors women having only boys are 6% more likely to use contraception and 20% less demanding more children than women having only girls. This association is stronger, especially when couples have less than six children.
Conclusion
The research shows evidence of son preference and higher fertility among women belonging to polygynous families in Pakistan. Policy programs should pay attention to women's empowerment, education, and economic rights.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association.
The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field.
The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology.
Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification.
