中文摘要 | 本論文試以由世界生育調查所得到的國際間的資料來理清初婚年齡與生育的關係。研究的結果顯示各國人口的初婚年齡與完整的出生水準之間都呈強度的負相闕,此因初婚年齡會影響懷有小孩危險性時間的長短。檢討有關資料的結果也可看出結婚時的年齡也會影響生育的期間。晚婚的婦女生育都較密集,此種事實乃基於晚婚婦女都有趕緊生育以為補償之假設。 本研究也進而發現不同國家初婚年齡相同人口的生育水準有所差別,足見初婚年齡並非決定生育水準的唯一因素。僅管如此本研究頗具有政策性之意義。由於研究結果發現未接受節育的人口群,結婚年齡較晚者完整的生育水準却較低,故在節育程度低及平均結婚年齡較低的國家,提高結婚的合法年齡可預期對生育子女會有負面的作用。 |
英文摘要 | This paper attempts to clarify the relationship between age at first union and fertility by cross-country comparisons, using data from the World Fertility Survey. The results show that for all countries under investigation, age at union appears to have a strong negative association with completed fertility because of its effect on duration or longer exposure to risk of childbearing. Examination of the data also reveals that age at union affects the timing of fertility. Women entering union at older ages were found to have closer spacing. Such evidence confirms the hypothesis that women marrying late are likely to increase the pace of fertility in order to compensate for their late union. Lastly, it was observed that differences remain in fertility by age-at-union groups across countries. Hence, distribution of age at union alone cannot fully account for variations in fertility among countries. Nevertheless, the study has certain policy implications. Based upon these findings, it is clearthat in a non-contracepting population, later age at marriage will result in lower completed fertility. Thus, for countries with low levels of contraceptive use and low mean age at marriage, an increase in the legal age at union can be expected to have a negative impact upon childbearing. |
