Abstract

"Data on in- and out-migration in Egypt by governorate and on variables believed to interact with migration are examined. The purpose is to identify the dimensions through which the basic demographic phenomenon can be rationally structured. This objective is approached through a general multivariate analysis technique known as canonical correlation analysis....A number of variables believed to act as determinants of migration are used and arbitrarily classified into four groups to represent four distinct migration profiles, namely, sociodemographic, economic, urbanization, and health profiles.... The analysis shows that the economic profile of migration is the most pronounced one of the four profiles examined.", (excerpt)

Abstract

The author discusses the use of loglinear models in demographic analysis, particularly with regard to the analysis of contingency tables. Their use is illustrated using data from the 1980 World Fertility Survey for Sudan to analyze the determinants of fifth-birth intervals. The results show "the ability of the technique to improve our understanding of the mechanism of fertility differentials using individual--instead of aggregate--data. It has shown how each variable affects the process when all other variables are held constant.", (excerpt)

Abstract

The results presented here are based on a fertility survey carried out in Khartoum in 1978. It was shown that the knowledge of family planning is widespread in the city and that the level of ever-use of birth control is becoming significant. The popularity of the different methods of birth control is investigated, revealing that the pill is used by nearly all ever-users. IUDs, rhythm, and withdrawal are also relatively popular. A great degree of consistency was found to exist between reports given by husbands and their wives in this respect. The purpose of using birth control is not yet clear. The significant ever-use, noted before the 3rd live birth, indicates that these methods are used for the purpose of spacing births rather than limiting the number of children.

Abstract

"In the present paper, a method of constructing a fertility table based on the observed current parity distribution, developed by Nour (1984), is used to obtain a parity-specific fertility [rate] for Egypt....Nour's method is based on the assumption that women at a given parity and age will have the same fertility behavior regardless of their previous experience." Data are from the 1980 Egyptian Fertility Survey., (excerpt)
