Abstract

This is the first study in India to move beyond women's sexual and reproductive health, instead examining the consequences of having an unwanted birth on women's general health. We use nationally representative longitudinal data from the two waves of the India Human Development Survey (2005 and 2012) for 3,776 currently married, non-pregnant women aged 18-40 at baseline who were interviewed in both waves. Results from multivariate linear and logistic regression show that mothers having an unwanted birth between the two time periods were likely to report worse self-rated health in 2012 and more likely to experience a deterioration in health between the two waves compared with those who had a wanted birth, after accounting for other maternal and household characteristics. Results are robust to models accounting for propensity weighting.

非自愿生育及其对印度妇女自评健康的影响。
这是印度第一个超越妇女性健康和生殖健康的研究,而是研究意外生育对妇女总体健康的影响。我们使用了印度人类发展调查两波(2005年和2012年)中具有全国代表性的纵向数据,对3776名在两波中接受采访的18-40岁的已婚、未怀孕女性进行了调查。多变量线性回归和逻辑回归的结果显示,在考虑了其他产妇和家庭特征后,在这两个时期之间意外生育的母亲在2012年的自我评估健康状况可能更差,与意外生育的母亲相比,在这两个时期之间的健康状况更有可能恶化。结果对考虑倾向加权的模型是稳健的。

期刊介绍: For over half a century, Population Studies has reported significant advances in methods of demographic analysis, conceptual and mathematical theories of demographic dynamics and behaviour, and the use of these theories and methods to extend scientific knowledge and to inform policy and practice. The Journal"s coverage of this field is comprehensive: applications in developed and developing countries; historical and contemporary studies; quantitative and qualitative studies; analytical essays and reviews. The subjects of papers range from classical concerns, such as the determinants and consequences of population change, to such topics as family demography and evolutionary and genetic influences on demographic behaviour.
