Population and family planning in Bangladesh : a survey of the research
ALAUDDIN, M. | FARUQEE, R.
That Bangladesh has a serious population problem is universally recognized. One of the poorest countries in the world, it also has one of the highest densities of rural population. This study was undertaken with the following objectives: 1) to prepare an inventory and provide a general critique of all studies on family planning and on fertility trends, profiles, and determinants; 2) to analyze and assess the results of these studies with a special focus on their operational significance for population control and family planning in Bangladesh; 3) to provide a critique of the design, data, methods, dissemination, and use of completed studies; and 4) to suggest priority areas for future operational research in Bangladesh, with a view to its coordination, its requirements for resources, and its desirable phasing. Part I presents the main results and their implications. Part II provides the detailed findings including: fertility; mortality; migration; spatial distribution; households--growth and composition; direct determinants of fertility; socioeconomic correlates of fertility; and determinants of contraceptive behavior.
