Fertility decline in Barbados: some spatial considerations

H R Jones

    Studies in Family Planning
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Regional fertility variations in Barbados persisted despite national declines. Family planning programs concentrated in accessible areas may explain these spatial differences in fertility.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Sociology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Barbados experienced significant fertility decline in the 1960s.
    • Despite national trends, striking regional differences in fertility levels persisted within Barbados.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the factors contributing to persistent spatial variations in fertility levels across Barbados's subregions.
    • To investigate the role of socioeconomic factors and family planning programs in these regional differences.

    Main Methods:

    • Regression analyses were conducted on 28 subregions.
    • Independent variables included sex ratio, male occupational structure, female education, and female employment for 1960 and 1970.
    • The spatial influence of the Barbados family planning program was assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Socioeconomic factors and female empowerment indicators showed regional variations.
    • The spatial distribution of family planning programs correlated with fertility variations.
    • Accessibility and modernization appeared to influence program concentration and impact.

    Conclusions:

    • Concentration of family planning programs in accessible and modernized areas likely contributed to spatial variations in fertility.
    • Regional socioeconomic characteristics played a role in maintaining fertility differentials.
    • Targeted interventions may be necessary to address persistent subregional fertility disparities.
