“…An indirect significant relationship between both middle education and higher education (relative to primary education, which is the reference category) with spousal violence shows that both middle and higher education are effective protective factors against spousal violence, though the impact of middle education in reducing the odds of spousal violence is smaller, OR = 0.92; 95% CI = [0.84, 0.99], compared with higher education, OR = 0.87; 95% CI = [0.80, 0.95]. Literature has found ample evidence to suggest that only higher education hedges against spousal violence (Antai, 2011;Jesmin, 2015b;Peltzer & Pengpid, 2014;Sambisa, Angeles, Lance, Naved, & Thornton, 2011) because it guarantees better job opportunities with better wages (Heath & Jayachandran, 2016;Nazar & Chaudhry, 2017) and higher empowerment in terms of greater control of fertility decisions (Memon & Jonker, 2018). Although consistent with the previous literature (Flood & Pease, 2009;Uthman et al, 2011), the finding extends the previous findings from developed countries to a developing, patriarchal, and the lowest ranked country in terms of gender gap.…”

Violence against women (VAW) is a grave problem in Pakistan, and women from all socioeconomic groups are vulnerable to domestic violence in varying degrees. It is argued that patriarchal definition of gender roles may reinforce the internalized inferiority of women. So, it may not be a mere coincidence that a large number of women in Pakistan justify VAW for various reasons. The objectives of this article are threefold: (a) to identify the drivers of VAW, (b) to see if women's attitudinal acceptance of violence is causally linked with observed violence against women, and (c) to see if attitudinal acceptance of violence mediates between the socioeconomic status of women and observed violence. We used data from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2012-13. The sample consisted of 3,265 ever married women aged between 15 and 49 years who were interviewed for domestic violence. We used multivariate logit regression analysis to identify the drivers of VAW and used the Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) method for mediation analysis. We found that women's attitudinal acceptance of violence, their childhood experience of violence in their parental household, the education of both husband and wife, and some occupation types significantly predicted their experience of spousal violence. In addition, we found that women's attitudinal acceptance of violence mediated the relationships between socioeconomic factors (education and wealth status) and VAW. The significance of the study lies in the fact that it highlights the need to modify the perceptions of violence through change in educational policy. Among multiple other factors, an increase in the economic status of women is an effective hedge against the risk of spousal violence.

“…Moreover, as the age and educational attainment of the respondents increased, their knowledge of Fertility-Awareness Based/ Modern Natural Family Planning (FAB/MNFP) Methods also increased. A higher level of education is associated with more input by said women in terms of applying family planning and contraceptives (Memon & Jonker, 2018). Also, as the number of working household members increases, so does the level of knowledge.…”

Responsible parenting requires commitment, the right values, and a certain level of maturity to raise a family with a quality life. This research assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RPFP) among selected 4Ps beneficiaries (n=659) in the five provinces of the Caraga Region. The socio-demographic and economic profiles of the respondents were correlated to their KAP on RPFP using multiple regression analysis. Results showed that most respondents are in their prime working age, married, Cebuano, high school graduates, embracing Christianity, from rural areas, nurturing a nuclear family with an average monthly income of P7, 287 for a family of six. Further, respondents are highly knowledgeable on RPFP while moderately knowledgeable about modern natural and artificial Family Planning Methods (FPM). Interestingly, they show a positive attitude towards RPFP and FPM but very frequently practice the principles of RPFP and occasionally practice FPM. The number of children and the age when they first become pregnant negatively affect their understanding of natural family planning. Whether their socio-demographic and economic status influences their KAP on RPFP, different government agencies whose mandate includes development should continue addressing various population issues. The study recommends a multi-dimensional, integrated, and holistic approach to addressing the various concerns that can contribute to an increased KAP among 4Ps beneficiaries towards the RPFP.

“…Jumlah anak yang diinginkan memiliki pengaruh yang sangat signifikan dengan partisipasi KB (Pastuti dan Wilopo, 2007). Keinginaan suami yang mendominasi dalam hal ukuran keluarga ideal mempengaruhi seorang istri untuk ikut berpartisipasi KB (Memon dan Jonker, 2018). Seorang suami sangat mempengaruhi istri untuk mengambil keputusan termasuk dalam menentukan KB (Ackerson dan Zielinski, 2017).…”

Jumlah penduduk yang besar di Indonesia memberikan dampak negatif antara lain, masalah kesehatan, kemiskinan, pengangguran, dan kriminalisasi. Program Keluarga Berencana (KB) memiliki implikasi dalam menurunkan angka kelahiran untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat. Pada tahun 2012, angka partisipasi KB keluarga pra sejahtera di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan yaitu sebesar 24 persen lebih besar dibandingkan keluarga sejahtera I, II, III, dan III+. Maka dari itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis faktor-faktor apa saja yang menentukan partisipasi KB pada keluarga pra sejahtera di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian ini merupakan analisis kuantitatif, menggunakan data sekunder dari Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) 2012 dengan metode analisis regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dua variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap partisipasi KB pada keluarga pra sejahtera yaitu jumlah anak dan usia suami, dengan nilai koefisien jumlah anak adalah positif yang berarti semakin banyak anak (> 2 anak) maka semakin tinggi peluang istri untuk berpartisipasi KB. Nilai koefisien usia suami adalah negatif yang artinya semakin muda usia suami maka semakin tinggi peluang istri untuk berpartisipasi KB. Sementara variabel lain yaitu: usia istri, pendidikan istri, partisipasi istri dalam bekerja, tempat tinggal, ukuran keluarga ideal, komunikasi suami istri, dan kunjungan petugas KB tidak secara signifikan menentukan tingkat partisipasi KB seorang istri. Pemerintah seharusnya mensosialisasikan program keluarga berencana sejak awal pernikahan, agar keluarga pra sejahtera berpartisipasi KB sebelum memiliki banyak anak. Selain itu, perlu penelitian lebih lanjut terkait efektivitas alat kontrasepsi yang paling banyak digunakan (pil dan suntik KB) pada keluarga pra sejahtera. Kata Kunci: keluarga berencana, keluarga pra sejahtera, jumlah anak, usia suami
