“…These studies indicate that important regional fertility differentials do exist even in a small country such as Trinidad and metropolitan dominance in family planning activities work to sustain these regional differentials. Indeed as Jones (1990) notes, studies of this nature have obvious implications for spatial reallocation of program resources to disadvantaged areas. Furthermore, policy makers can be informed of the most important variables that work to reduce fertility levels based on the experience of other districts or regions within the same country.…”

“…Beaver and Jones, with particular reference to less developed countries, identify at least four interrelated phenomena (namely, urbanization, education, nonkinship institutions and consumption levels or standard of living) which facilitate intervening modifications of individual behavior via social, economic and/or psychological mechanisms to reduce fertility. (Beaver 1975;Jones 1990). The social structure includes the relaxation of sex-role restrictions on women, the decreased predominance of extended kinship systems and the reduced status of the value of children (Beaver 1975;Jones 1990).…”

The social structure includes the relaxation of sex-role restrictions on women, the decreased predominance of extended kinship systems and the reduced status of the value of children (Beaver 1975;Jones 1990). Beaver's theoretical model also looks at the effect of other demographic variables such as infant mortality and technological advances in contraceptive availability and use.…”

“…A United Nations (1983) study of relationships between fertility and education, comprising a comparative analysis of World Fertility Survey data for 22 developing countries, concluded that generally education has a negative effect on fertility. Jones (1990) notes that formal education reduces fertility in two major ways. First, and most immediately, there is a greater appreciation by parents of the costs, rather than the benefits, of children, as expenditure is required on school fees and other school items, while school attendance reduces the household services contributed by children.…”

Fertility rates in Malawi continue to be among the highest in the world, while mortality rates have declined significantly from 35 deaths per 1,000 population in 1965 to a low of 20 deaths per 1,000 people in 1995. This study will use crude birth rates and total fertility rates in examining the spatial context of fertility in Malawi. These are the most widely used measures for current fertility. The total fertility rate (TFR) stands for the average number of children in a family and is easy to calculate from age-specific birth rates. The TFR is a synthetic rate in that it does not measure the fertility of any real group of women but rather the fertility of an imaginary group of women who pass through their fictitious reproductive lives subject to the rates of child bearing experienced by real women in a given year. The crude birth rate, on the other hand, is calculated from the number of babies born in a given year (or any other time period) divided by the mid-year population, and is expressed as the number of births per 1000 population (Haupt and Kane 1991; McFalls 1991). The TFR for Malawi was estimated to be 7.6 in 1987 and the crude birth rate was 41 during the same year (National Statistical Office 1987a). Recent data from the Demographic and Health Survey indicate that the total fertility rate has declined slightly to a current level of 6.73 (National Statistical Office 1992).

“…The markedly high migration propensities of twenty-year-olds has been attributed to the interaction of two effects: the demands generated by the stage of the young adult's life cycle and the positive relationship between age and community attachment (Jones 1990). The early twenties are associated with the expansionist phase of the family and career life cycle, both of which usually involve residential movement.…”

Cohort and Period Effects in U.S. Migration: How Demographic and Economic Cycles Influence the Migration Schedule

This paper examines the influence of demographic and economic cycles on the migration propensities given in the migration age schedule. It is well known that while the shape or profile of the migration-age relationship has enduring regularity over time and space, its level (or intensity) shows considerable volatility. Recent studies suggest that variations in generation size and economic conditions may systematically influence the levels of the migration schedule. These studies show that large cohorts have notably lower migration rates than small cohorts, mainly because they face more competitive labor markets upon entry into young adulthood. Similarly, migration rates, especially of young adults, have been found to decline during recessionary periods and increase during economic booms. Building on these studies, I examine the influence of generation size on the migration intensities seen in a cohort (longitudinal) migration schedule and that of economic conditions on the intensities of a period (cross-sectional) migration schedule. I further specify a model that incorporates both cohort and period effects in order to understand their relative importance in shaping the migration schedule. Empirical analyses based on Current Population Survey data for the 1949-1993 period reveal that the level of the migration schedule is sensitive to demographic and economic cycles, with the effect of generation size being relatively more influential. The findings call for a more explicit incorporation of cohort and period effects in analyses of migration patterns.
