About this title

Synopsis

Family size and birth control are quite universal phenomena and vary across the world cultures. Most of the empirical studies on family size and birth control practice in Bangladesh are culture- specific or single-content-oriented. This empirical book focuses on cross-cultural family size and birth control practice among the major ethnic communities in urban and rural Bangladesh. In so doing both primary and secondary data are used to analyze and compare family size and birth control practice in association with socio-cultural status among the major communities in Bangladesh. Results suggest that Muslim family size is higher than Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and Tribal in urban and rural Bangladesh. Both temporary and permanent birth control practice is also higher among women than men in those settings. The findings would help social scientists and also demographers to understand cross-cultural family size and birth control practice across the world. The results would also help policy-makers to design cross-cultural family size and birth control policy and programs in Bangladesh.
