Book Synopsis Fertility Transition in South India by : Christophe Z Guilmoto
Download or read book Fertility Transition in South India written by Christophe Z Guilmoto and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together 13 well-researched and original essays which describe and analyse the trajectory of fertility decline in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Documenting the fact that the fertility decline occurred in regions with vast differences in development indicators, the contributors argue that this transition must be understood as a cumulative result of several factors including family planning policies, socio-economic transformation, and changes in social perceptions towards fertility, contraception, marriage, family and child rearing. Combining various qualitative and quantitative techniques with field studies and historical analysis, the contributors go beyond the formal tools of demography and develop an original Geographical Information System (GIS), a spatialized database encompassing south Indian districts.

Book Synopsis Social Development, Cultural Change & Fertility Decline by : Kuttan Mahadevan
Download or read book Social Development, Cultural Change & Fertility Decline written by Kuttan Mahadevan and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1987-12-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low fertility rates are usually associated with high levels of economic development. The Indian state of Kerala is an exception -- despite a comparatively low level of economic development, the fertility rate is declining rapidly. This book studies the determinants of declining fertility rates. The authors have developed a model -- applicable to other regions in the developing world -- which focuses on social development and cultural change as causes of declining fertility and, more importantly, an improvement in the quality of life.

Book Synopsis The Anomaly of the Fertility Decline in India's Kerala State by : Kunniparampil Curien Zachariah
Download or read book The Anomaly of the Fertility Decline in India's Kerala State written by Kunniparampil Curien Zachariah and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerala does not conform to the socioeconomic development pattern normally associated with a rapid fertility decline. This report attempts to determine the causes of the decline that Kerala is experiencing. Given that the background description is not inaccurate, attention is focused upon social, cultural, and political characteristics that may be relevant. Three of these seem more important than others: land reform, political awareness, and education. Extensive land reform has not only redistibuted the wealth, but has also contributed to the decline of the matriarchal systems; every aspect of life in Kerala is politicized, facilitating better delivery of government services; and high educational attainment has been accompanied by high unemployment among the educated. All these factors seem to have had an effect on the declining fertility rate; family planning programs seem to have been insignificant.
Book Synopsis From Death to Birth by : National Research Council
Download or read book From Death to Birth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-01-12 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.

This book was released on 1995-11-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The coverage is quite exhaustive beginning with the pre- independence period to the Draft National Population Policy (1994). The author has used his expertise in this field ably. All those concerned with population policies and programmes of the country will benefit from this book. At the same time by providing insights into micro level factors involved in fertility decline, the book also provides ample food for thought to the researchers, NGOs etc. interested in the complex social processes involved in regulating reproduction." --Health for the Millions "The book is helpful in pointing to the role of demographers in the promotion of population control policies." --Radical Journal of Health "The book is about policies and programmes pursued by governments, their effectiveness, and so on. The coverage is quite exhaustive.... Those concerned with policies and programmes will find the book very useful." --Economic and Political Weekly "Starting with interesting anecdotes of population concerns in the preindependence era, K. Srinivasan has tried to make an otherwise terse subject fairly readable, even for those with just a passing interest in demography. He must be given credit for this. . . . The volume scores in presentation of useful data and analysis of India's experience in population control." --Financial Express "Dr. Srinivasan is a demographer of national and international repute who has been actively involved in the formulation of national policies and programs related to population. The book provides a detailed account of the background of the official policies and programs, their working, impact, comparative performance, and shortcomings. . . . The author deserves to be complimented for bringing in one place history, data, methods of analysis, a comprehensive list of programs and policies, and their relative performance. . . . The focus of the volume is timely for the contemporary situation and it will be read and reread by all those who are seriously concerned with the problem. The meticulous editing and slick presentation have further contributed to the book's status. . . . A book worth perusal by population scientists, policymakers, and administrators." --Deccan Herald "A well researched text covering India's family planning programme comprehensively.... An excellent text which should be read by students of population studies and other related disciplines. Faculty and staff working in the Population Research Centres will find it useful as a reference volume." --Social Change Regulating Reproduction in India's Population explores the efforts that have gone into India's family planning program, the results that have been achieved both at the state and national levels, and the implications of successful experiences that might help make the program more effective. Three case studies are presented from Goa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to illustrate how these states have successfully achieved the transition to low levels of fertility. The author provides a balanced view of the effects of modernization and female literacy on family planning, and makes policy recommendations that might be crucial at this stage of India's demographic transition. His conclusions are based on data collected from censuses and surveys carried out in different parts of the country. This volume also analyzes in detail the levels, trends, and differentials in fertility and contraceptive use, using statistical methods that are easy to understand and explained along sociological principles. With one sixth of the world's population living in India, what happens in the context of India's population growth will strongly influence the global scene as well. A must for researchers and policymakers keen to see fertility in India drop to levels consistent with contemporary populations.

Book Synopsis Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes by : National Academy of Sciences
Download or read book Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes written by National Academy of Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-06-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.
