Follow us Trends in Fertility, Family Size Preferences, and Family Planning Practice: Taiwan, 1961-80
Chang, Ming-Cheng, Ronald Freedman, and Te Hsiung Sun. 1981. "Trends in Fertility, Family Size Preferences, and Family Planning Practice: Taiwan, 1961-80." Studies in Family Planning, 12, no. 5 (May 1981): 211-28.
A series of seven sample surveys and vital statistics are used to analyze major reproductive trends in Taiwan. The long-term secular decline in fertility has leveled off, at least temporarily. The use of birth control is at very high levels, so that a large majority of women who want no more children are using contraception. First preferences for number of children, which decreased rapidly between 1970 and 1976, remained almost stationary between 1976 and 1980. However, the Coombs preference scales indicate a continuing decline in the underlying preference for large numbers of children. Nevertheless, the continuing preference for sons and the persistence of traditional familial forms may retard further fertility decline.
