摘要

这篇文章评估了孟加拉国重男轻女的强度，这反映在生育行为上。尽管孟加拉国的生育率从1975年的每名育龄妇女6.3个孩子下降到2014年的2.3个孩子，但实证结果表明，重男轻女对生育行为仍然有很强的影响。认识到这一事实，本研究考察了生育率的水平和差异，并调查了重男轻女对孟加拉国生育率的影响。此外，该研究还考察了导致重男轻女的潜在因素。生育率水平表明，一对夫妇受过高等教育的比例与生育率成反比，而孟加拉国农村和穆斯林夫妇的孩子更多。双变量分析表明，本研究选择的几乎所有自变量都与宇称级数有显著的关联。多变量分析的结果表明，在第2-3胎中，至少有一个儿子的女性比没有儿子的女性更不可能继续生育。在大多数或所有政党，继续生育与教育、获得大众媒体和家庭财富负相关。夫妇们追求平等的一个重要动机是想要一个儿子。

Effects of son preference on fertility: A parity progression analysis

This article assesses the strength of son preference in Bangladesh, as reflected in fertility behavior. Although the fertility rate for Bangladesh declined from 6.3 children per woman of reproductive age in the year 1975 to 2.3 children in 2014, empirical results show that son preference has still a strong influence on fertility behavior. Keeping cognizant of this fact, this study examines levels and differentials in fertility and also investigates the effects of son preference on fertility in Bangladesh. In addition, the study inspects the underlying factors responsible for son preference. Levels of fertility indicate that the proportion of higher education of a couple is inversely related to fertility, whereas rural and Muslim couples in Bangladesh have more children. The bivariate analysis shows that almost all the independent variables selected for this study have a significant association with parity progression. Findings from multivariate analyses suggest that women with at least one son are less likely to continue childbearing than women without sons at parities 2-3. At most or all parities, continued childbearing is negatively associated with education, access to mass media, and family wealth. A significant source of motivation for parity progression in couples is the desire to have a son.
