Methods: We conducted four focus group discussions and 32 in-depth interviews with married women (35-40 years) in two Yoruba communities in Southwest Nigeria. Results: Contraceptives awareness exists alongside with perceived side effects and misconceptions around  contraceptive use among women. Cultural beliefs around the woman’s body and disempowerment through unplaned pregnancy before marriage provided limited spaces to negotiate contraceptive use. The  impression that contraceptive use among women could  promote marital infidelity  still holds, while a feeling of  husband’s extramarital relations was sometimes an opportunity to demand the use of condom. Conclusion: Contextual understanding of risks of contraceptive use could help in addressing the unmet need for contraceptives among women at risks for an unplanned pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":52433,"journal":{"name":"Etude de la Population Africaine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43895916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore the association between under-age marital childbirth and child health indicators in north-west Nigeria. Data source and Methods: Analysing NDHS 2013 data of 9,011 currently married women in northwest Nigeria, with at least a childbirth in the 5 years preceding the survey, we explored the implications of maternal age at first birth for child health outcomes (anthropometric measures and child survival). Results: The lowest age at birth in the region was 12 years. Binary logistics regression shows that odds of child survival was highest among mothers aged 18 years and above at first childbirth by 52% (CI: 1.17-1.97; p-value < 0.01). Finding suggests that poor child anthropometric outcomes is not associated with under-age childbirth but other factors such as women education and wealth status in the study area.

Demographic literature had established the existence of preponderance of factors sustaining a high level of fertility in the country. Most previous studies on fertility had focused on women, and a few that examined male fertility behaviour focused mainly on individual-level factors, ignoring the influence of community contexts. This study, therefore, examined the influence of an individual, household and community level factors on male fertility behaviour in Nigeria. Data source and Methods: The study used male data from 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Results: Results showed that community variables like region, ethnic diversity, community family-size norm and community-level of education significantly influenced male fertility behaviour in Nigeria (p<0.05).

Methods: The study utilized DHS household data on older persons aged 60 years and above in selected West African countries: Benin Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Togo (n=31,695). Results: Results showed that West African older persons had an average of 5.0 household network members; proportion living alone were higher among women (21.6%) than men (10.4%), majorly widows (31.3%) or single/divorced (38.0%). Household network, headship and living arrangements varied significantly across countries by age, sex, education, marital status and wealth quintile (p<0.05).

However, there is very little about CA in the processes of forming families, particularly in Africa. This paper employs CA to examine the Ghanaian family formation trajectories. It explores the norms and preferences, the choices and decision-making processes, timing as well as constraints embedded in the family formation process. Data sources and methods: This paper draws on a bigger Ghana/Mali qualitative research that contrasted individual realities and collective images of family formation trajectories in the two countries, but specifically focuses on the Ghana case to understand the individual family formation trajectories in terms of their family life histories, resources available to them as well as their notions on the ideal family life. It is based on analyses and discussions of thirty (30) in-depth interviews conducted in rural and urban Ghana. Results:The results show an inherent interplay of agency-driven idealized goals and socio-cultural concerns, in other words, realities that reflect agency-structure concerns with regards to different family life domains (pre-marital relationships, partner choice-making, marriage, etc.). Conclusion:Based on the analyses, we conclude that the concepts of ‘ambivalence’ and ‘agency’ are important in smoothening the difficulties family formation actors encounter in pursuing their personal family life goals within the context of socio-cultural family life requirements.","PeriodicalId":52433,"journal":{"name":"Etude de la Population Africaine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41856123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data Sources/Methods : Data were collected from 760 migrants and non-migrants through multistage sampling technique and were analysed employing descriptive statistics, Chi-square, correlation and Ordinal regression. Findings: Returnees' migration experience (X 2 =212.971, df=4, p .050) were associated with higher fertility preferences. Non-migrants’ fertility preferences were lower (3.89 children average) than those of migrants (4.14).

We derived yearly aggregate for total number of articles and number of technical demographic papers from 1994 to 2015. We illustrated the trends in the proportion of technical demographic studies in a graph and also estimated the annual rate of decline using least square regression techniques. Results: A total of 4091 studies were published in 465 issues of the selected journals between 1994 and 2015 of which 371 (9.0%) were related to technical demography. The proportion of technical demographic papers declined gradually at an annual rate of 0.42% (CI= 0.29-0.62) between 1994 (12.0%) and 2015 (10.0%).

Additionally, the specific situation of the DRC is selected as a case study. Results: The potential of Sub-Saharan Africa to enjoy a demographic dividend is exceptional. Although the DRC is in the group of the least advanced countries, its increasing share of working age population is a key to reap the benefits of the potential economic growth.
