Follow us Trends in Fertility, Family Size Preferences, and Practice of Family Planning: Taiwan, 1965-1973
Freedman, Ronald. 1974. "Trends in Fertility, Family Size Preferences, and Practice of Family Planning: Taiwan, 1965-1973." Studies in Family Planning, 5, no. 9 (September 1974): 270-88.
An extensive analysis of trends in the practice of family planning and in the desired number of children in Taiwan during the period from 1965 to 1973 is presented. Between 1965 and 1970, the practice of birth control increased fairly quickly, but there was little change in the preferred family size or, in particular, in the desired number of sons. During the period 1970-1973, the desired number of children decreased in every major demographic and social stratum of the population considered in the study, but a continuing preference for sons was seen. Couples with 1 or more living sons were more likely to practice birth control than those with no sons. The practice of both contraception and abortion during this period rose in all segments of the population.
