Md. Abdul Latif, S. Brajakishor Singh

Abstract :

Experiencing heterogeneity in stages of demographic transition, Manipur is also one of high fertility states in India. Despite the immense values in 12 strategic themes in order to achieve the national socio–demographic goals for stable population in respect of National Population Policy (NPP)–2000, no community based study for identifying the causal factors of completed fertility is witnessed in north east hilly states. It is to evaluate the socio–demographic determinants of above replacement fertility of elderly married women aged 50–55 years. A retrospective cross–sectional study of 1217 ever–married women after experiencing their menopause was conducted in the two districts of Manipur valley – Imphal East and Imphal West under cluster sampling scheme. The survey was conducted during the period from October, 2017 to June, 2018 taking 11th July 2017 as reference date of the survey. Multiple binary logistic regression models are used in the community based empirical data. The completed fertility (3.2) which is above replacement fertility is found to vary with education (P<0.01), sex of 2nd birth (P<0.01), and also couple’s desire of son (P<0.01) in the population.
