Numerator analysis of fertility and family planning in Maryland

  • Kruegel, D.L.

Abstract

The use of numerator analysis is proposed and used as a means of evaluating fertility and family planning in Maryland. The study concludes that the significant decrease in Maryland fertility since 1965 cannot be attributed only to the increase of women in organized family planning programs. No relationship is seen between family planning programs and fertility decrease. This finding may be due to methological limitations. The 3 implications that can be derived are: 1) numerator analysis alone is insufficient to evaluate family planning programs, 2) national and small area surveys of desired and expected family size and family planning continue to be needed; and 3) continued concern should be given to documenting in detail the sociocultural processes which determine fertility levels.
