Fertility estimates of Bangladesh using 1974 and 1981 census data.
Rural Demography
|January 1, 1989
Summary
Fertility levels in Bangladesh during the 1970s were estimated using indirect methods. The birth rate ranged from 45-48 per thousand, with no significant change observed in the last intercensal period.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Population Studies
Background:
- Understanding fertility trends is crucial for population dynamics and policy.
- Previous census data from Bangladesh provides a basis for demographic analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To estimate fertility levels in Bangladesh for various periods between 1974 and 1981.
- To analyze changes in fertility measures during the last intercensal period.
Main Methods:
- Utilized indirect methods of estimation for fertility.
- Employed data from the 1974 and 1981 census of Bangladesh.
Main Results:
- Estimated birth rate during the 1970s fell within the range of 45-48 per thousand.
- No significant changes were detected in fertility measures between the last two intercensal periods.
Conclusions:
- Fertility levels in Bangladesh remained relatively stable during the observed intercensal period.
- Indirect estimation methods provide valuable insights into demographic trends.
