The main objectives of this study are to describe the socio-economic, demographic and cultural differentials of women in relation to fertility and highlights its impact on fertility. This study uses secondary data from the Nepal Fertility and Health Survey conducted by His Majestys Government Ministry of the Health FP/MCH Project on May 08,1991. Women status is measured by selected socio-economic and demographic indicators such as education, occupation, religion, residence, age at first marriage, spousal communication and contraceptive use of the respondents. Altogether 2508 cases are drawn for statistical analysis for this study. All of relevant description of socio-economic, demographic and cultural characteristics of the sample has been explained in descriptive analysis on the basis of residential differences. Majority of 92.8 percent of women are from rural areas. 88.4 percent of respondents are uneducated. 73.2 percent of women are engaged in agricultural activities. The mean age at marriage of respondents found 15.0 years. About 90.2 percent of the respondents has been married before the legal age of marriage (17 years). Larger desired family size were noted among the respondents. When compared the fertility levels, desired family size of respondents found higher than actual family size. About one thirds of respondents prefer large desired family size. This shows that ignorance and lack of decision making power among women on fertility. Childrenever born by respondents found to be exclusively higher, which is more than six children. In this study findings reveals that women were facing low level of education, prevalent agricultural work status, early marriages, larger desired and actual family size and low acceptance of contraception as well as poor spousal communication. Furthermore, women were found having weak decision making status in regards to fertility. Combining all these factors, it can be proved that the status of women have observed low in Nepal. The chi-square statistical tests showed significant association between all variables, all the hypothesis stated which centered on socio-economic, demographic status and fertility levels were accepted. Based on this summary and findings and the conclusions made, and some policy recommendation were drawn. These includes equal opportunities for female children in education, equal opportunities for women to earn income in order to reduce the socio-economic differentials in womens status, greater access to family planning services and legislation and enforcement of early marriage should be strictly implemented. Finally, for detail investigation for womens status primary data should be advisable. |
