This is the case even though the International Conference on Population and Development held at Cairo in 1994 noted among other issues the importance of understanding how client perceptions of quality and satisfaction impact continued use of RH clinics. From the client’s perspective stronger clinic loyalty enhances willingness to follow treatment recommendations and keep subsequent appointments. From the clinic’s perspective stronger loyalty results in more positive word-of-mouth and repeated visits. Visit continuity in turn increases staff’s ability to deliver quality care and reduces higher costs of recruiting new clients to replace one or two-time users. Seeking to improve managerial understanding the following study identifies important factors related to client loyalty in outpatient RH clinics located in urban areas in two developing countries. Both studies were undertaken during the summer of 2001; the first in Chiang Mai Thailand and the second in Quezon City the Philippines. Following a brief review of the literature on client loyalty in health-care settings a model outlining potential predictors of clinic loyalty is presented. Results are discussed thereafter and the paper concludes with a section on managerial implications.

Gubhaju, Hussain Niyaaz","doi":"10.18356/772BFE2F-EN","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18356/772BFE2F-EN","url":null,"abstract":"As with several other countries in the Asian and Pacific region Maldives also has an implicit population policy aimed at reducing fertility. Until recently the country was considered to have high fertility rates for South Asia although there have been signs of fertility decline since the early 1990s. The total fertility rate of the country which stood at 6.4 during the early 1990s declined to 5.7 children per woman in 1995. Recent data from the Population and Housing census of Maldives showed a further drop in the total fertility rate to 2.8 in 2000. While the rapid decline recorded recently has been questioned by policy makers on the grounds of poor data quality researchers argue that the decline in fertility is genuine and can be attributed to several factors such as the increased use of contraception improved schooling opportunities in rural areas and the political endorsement of family planning at the highest level. The primary objective of this paper is to present estimates of fertility obtained directly from the 1995 and 2000 censuses of Maldives. In order to assess the validity of the results from the census fertility rates are estimated indirectly from other methods such as the own-children method and the Rele method (data and limitations of those methods are described later). Finally the P/F ratio method is employed to provide an adjusted estimate of fertility reported in the censuses.

The difficulty is that comparative data on the family in the broad definition of the term are not available. The available statistics relate to households defined by location community or living arrangements. Surveys and censuses usually cover all households not merely family households. Nevertheless the latter type constitutes a major proportion enabling the characteristics of the totals to be identified as those of family households. For many demographic socio-economic and political reasons family members may disperse and consequently the size of the household could be reduced although the size of the family would remain unchanged. In Asian countries most young people live with their parents after marriage and later move to another place whenever custom imposes or the economic condition of the new couple permits. Lloyd and Duffy (1995) believe that beyond this natural ebb and flow of family members families are becoming more dispersed. Young and elderly adults spouses and other relatives who might otherwise have shared a home are now more likely to live apart from one another. In 2004 the United Nations observed the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Family. Thus it appears timely to review some of the trends such as fertility marriage dissolution migration urbanization and ageing that affect the family in the region.
