The results are consistent with both frameworks: 75% of the fertility decline resulted from increased contraceptive use, but was induced primarily...

...; such information provides valuable insights to those gathering the input data. The model is here applied to a family planning program currently in progress. An evaluation of the feasibility of that program's goals is provided, as well as information on limiting resources, data sensi- tivity, and the most important...

... of about 17 %. Household data from 1996 confirm that this decline in “surviving fertility” persisted for nearly two decades. Women in program villages also experienced other benefits: increased birth spacing, lower child mortality, improved health status, and greater use of preventive health inputs. Some...

Levels and trends in unwanted fertility are im- portant input to the formulation of population policy and the evaluation of family planning programs. Yet existing...

The TABRAP program thus requires input data for each of these fac- tors by age, whereas the PROJTARG program requires only a single set of pa- rameters characterizing the entire popu- lation of reproductive age.

Robinson uses "assumed benefits" arising out of program "out- puts" (here measured in CYPs). He then compares the outputs to program "inputs", which are defined as annual total...
