Interviews with 3220 tubectomized women drawn from sterilization centers representing different locations sizes and types of facilities were conducted during 1980. The women had a mean age of 29.1 years and an average of 4.4 living children; 83% of them had a child under age 3. In comparison with the results of earlier surveys the mean age at tubectomy had declined but parity at the time of sterilization remained constant. Only 16% of the sterilized women had used contraceptives prior to sterilization a relatively low level of contraceptive use and that is likely to increase the impact of sterilization on fertility. When compared with women in the Bangladesh Fertility Survey who were of similar age and parity and desired no more children in the near future the tubectomy patients are expected to have 1.76 fewer births/woman during their reproductive lifetimes. Using these estimates of the impact of tubectomy in a society in which contraceptive prevalence is quite low the potential effect on fertility of the governments 2nd 5-year plan was analyzed. The Plan calls for almost 3.4 million sterilizations between 1980-85. If the target is realized some 563000 births will have been averted as a result of sterilization and the crude birth rate (unadjusted for sterilization) of 43.25 may be expected to decrease by more than 15 points by 1985.
