Intermarriage and language shift in Canada, 1971 and 1976.

"Basic observations are made on the linguistic outcome of mixed marriages between English, French, and Other language groups, using Canadian census data. Current trends among the major French language groups are highlighted. A longitudinal interpretation of cross-sectional age group data on intermarriage and language shift is presented, and leads to the inference, from 1971 data, of a steady increase in exogamy and anglicisation rates among most French language groups. This inference is confirmed through comparison with 1976 data. Further increase is predicted during the late seventies. It is suggested that similar techniques of analysis could be applied with profit to the study of other Canadian language groups." (summary in FRE)

Polygyny: an indicator of nutritional stress in African agricultural societies?

"The object of this paper will be to present some of the anthropological literature on polygyny, both to illustrate [the variety among societies] and to suggest which aspects of polygyny should be investigated for their relationship to nutritional status." The geographical focus is on Africa. "The paper indicates that there are differences between societies which do not practise polygyny and those which do; that there are regional differences which affect how women experience polygyny as well as differences in individual societies related to economic change."

A stochastic diffusion model of the time path of nuptiality.

"The time path of nuptiality is approximated by means of the log normal diffusion process. The drift coefficient is estimated by the method of maximum likelihood. Swedish and Canadian data on nuptiality have been utilised to illustrate the model. A piece-wise fitting of the log-normal model to the Swedish data reveals that the drift coefficient is changing over time. The use of mixing distribution is suggested to remedy this problem. On the whole the Hajnal theory of nuptiality transition is supported. It is also seen that the Hajnal transition is one in a series of transitions."

The influence of female education, labour force participation and age at marriage on fertility behaviour in Bangladesh.

"The purpose of this paper was to study the relationship between certain aspects of the status of women (i.e., education, work experience and age at marriage) and the use of contraception and fertility, using data collected by the Bangladesh Fertility Survey (BFS) of 1975...." The analysis is presented separately for rural and urban areas. "Results of the tests in brief are as follows: (a) Education is found to be strongly correlated with the use of contraception within each sub-group of the study population.... Education is positively related with use of contraception and negatively with fertility....(b) age at marriage is found to be the most important factor explaining fertility for every sub-group of the study population. Couples marrying at higher ages are likely to have fewer children....and (c) work experience has very little or no effect on current use of contraception and fertility...."
