Micro determinants of female migration in a developing country: labor market, demographic marriage market and economic marriage market incentives.

A micro study of inter-regional migration by women in Nicaragua is presented. The authors "explore three sets of migratory incentives: (1) labor market factors such as usually are emphasized; (2) 'demographic marriage market' considerations (i.e., the probability of having a male companion)...; and (3) 'economic marriage market' considerations (i.e., the expected earnings from a companion given regional labor market conditions and assortative mating)....[They] use estimates of expected outcomes in origin, destination and third regions--conditional upon the woman's characteristics and upon regional differences in labor and marriage markets--to explore the consistency of actual migratory flows with these three sets of migratory incentives." Data are from a sample of approximately 4,000 women aged 15-45 who were interviewed in 1977-1978.

[Some factors that affect the level of survival of children in rural West Java and rural East Java].

Factors affecting the survival rate of children in rural Java, Indonesia, are analyzed. Variables examined include mother's education, age at first marriage, household facilities, and duration of breast-feeding. The data are from the 1973 Indonesian Fertility and Mortality Survey. Mother's education and age at first marriage are shown to influence infant survival the most, whereas household facilities have no significant impact. "It is also concluded that mothers with length of breastfeeding interval between 24 and 35 months have [a] child survival rate greater than those with length of breastfeeding other than 24-35 months. Besides, [the] child survival rate is lower for mothers working in non agricultural activities relative to those working in agricultural activities or those who are not working." (summary in ENG)

[The natural increase of the Catholic population of Quebec before 1850: historiographic and quantitative perspectives].

"The author presents a critical evaluation of the different estimates of birth, death, and marriage rates in French Canada before 1850. He examines critically the sensitivity of these estimates to changes in the nature of the prevailing conceptual framework. In particular, the impact of the 'natalist' tradition and of the 'demographic transition hypothesis' on these estimates is noted." (summary in ENG)
