The prevalence of women with more than one marriage (left), and its association with polygyny status (right). The analysis is restricted to women who were married at the time of the survey. The percentage of widows is calculated for women who have been married more than once. Odds ratios (OR) are based on survey-cluster fixed-effects logit models adjusted for age. The reference category in the first analysis (gray markers) comprises women who are in their first marriage; in the second analysis (white markers), the reference category consists of divorced women. Information about the outcome of the previous marriage is available for less than half of the countries, which explains the large number of missing estimates. The DHS for Lesotho does not allow us to distinguish between women in polygynous and monogamous unions

An illustration of the rejections regions for two one-sided tests. The region under the curve to the right of Δ1 corresponds to H01–. The region under the curve to the left of Δ2 corresponds to H02–. In this example, equivalence is defined symmetrically, so Δ2 = −Δ1. If one rejects both H01– and H02–, then θ must lie in the shaded region between Δ2 and Δ1 which is the joint rejection region defining the range of equivalence

Fig. 5 Proportion of women having at least one child at age 50, depending on the parameters α and β (variation of baseline risk of first birth) for the 1970–1979 birth cohorts. The red dot on the vertical axis is the proportion of women with at least one child in the baseline scenario (i.e., α = β = 0). The colored plane shows the simulated proportion of women with at least one child for values of α and β ≥ 0, where the green and purple shading, respectively, indicate whether it exceeds or falls below the baseline scenario value (red dot). The darker the shading, the greater the difference. When we increase α (i.e., decreasing the risk of first birth before age 30 according to the scenario in Figure A1) and keep β = 0 (i.e., structural recovery only), the share of women with at least one child decreases (purple shading). When α &gt; 0, increasing β (i.e., applying a proportional increase to the risk of first birth at age 30 and above according to the scenario in Figure A1) increases the share of women with at least one child (purple shading turns green). In addition, the contour lines in the bottom panel represent α and β value combinations that yield the same simulated parity progression indicators. In particular, the thick red contour line denotes combinations of α and β that maintain the simulated parity progression indicator of the baseline scenario. For example, for α = .5 in Great Britain, β should be 0.2 to keep the proportion of women with at least one child constant; for α = .3, β should be 0.1.
