dc.description.abstract | The decline of mortality and fertility expected as a result of increased fertility regulation has been the subject of considerable debate (Bongaarts, 1981, 1987; Potter, 1988; Trussell, 1984). Changes in reproductive patterns can influence child health and survival through a number of different mechanisms, most notably through changes in birth order, birth interval and maternal age at child-bearing. Short intervals between births can lead to a number of health problems:
• lack of maternal recuperation
• lack of maternal preparation for birth
• premature birth
• low birth weight. | en |
