The study attempts to explain changes in reproductive behaviour of
rural women of Bangladesh that has occurred at a time when the
country was predominantly poor and agricultural. Three different
areas were studied, using time series analysis, and changes
measured by demand for additional children and current
contraceptive use. The findings show that demand for no additional
children was generated prior to the fertility decline and that the
family planning programme helped to mitigate the demand for
fertility control modifying supply logistics since the late 1970s.
Reproductive behaviour of women is strongly affected by biosocial
and cultural factors related to patriarchal social structure.
Desired family size in all three areas were similar prior to the
fertility decline of the 1980s. It was lower than the fertility
rate and is probably affected by prior improved survivorship.
During the period studied, desired family size reduced equally in
all three areas. With this same level of desired family size, an
efficient Matlab Family planning programme successfully reduced
fertility from the mid 1970s, while high fertility in the other two
areas began to decline from the 1980s.
