    The effect of intimate partner violence on unintended pregnancies: a Philippine case
    (2018-12-17) Bongco, Emmanuel S. ; Lastrella, Kenneth R. ; Pajaron, Marjorie C.
    We associate intimate partner violence to unintended pregnancies because intimate partner violence is considered a risk factor to a number of fertility and reproductive-related problems. We focus the study in the Philippine setting, because of the lack of studies between the relationship of violence against women and unintended pregnancies in developing countries. Provided with the National Demographic and Health Survey data for 2017 in the Philippines, we used OLS, probit, logit, logistic, and biprobit regressions to study and prove the relationship between IPV and unintended pregnancy; we also explored the effects of sociodemographic factors, abuse-related factors such as severity of the violence and number of control issues, factors related to women’s autonomy, and the partner’s characteristics. The odds of women to experience an unintended pregnancy were elevated when they experienced any form of violence (OR, 1.409). This observation was significant at 5% significance level. The findings of this study can better promote action by public and private institutions against violence against women, and promote participation of men in fertility control programs.

    Correlates of women labor force participation in the Philippines: a multivariate analysis
    (2013-10) Caslib, Camille Anne N.; Cruz, Lorena Lalen Q.; Ducanes, Geoffery M.
    This paper studies the relationship between fertility and labor force participation, as well as demographic, socio-economic and cultural factors. Although fertility rate in the country is declining, rapid population growth that exacerbates poverty continues still to be one of the problems faced by the country .. At the same time, the number of women participating in the labor market is increasing. Using data from the National Demographic Health Survey 2008, this study examines the relationship between fertility and female labor force participation using a multivariate Poisson regression. The results confirm a negative relationship between fertility and female labor participation but the magnitude of the effect is relatively small. The study also finds that other factors such as area of residence, educational attainment, and age of the woman, wealth and religion are significantly correlated with fertility.

    Female labor force participation and fertility in the Philippines
    (2013-10) Mauro, Mariel A.; Niro, Christine P.
    This study analyzes the effect of female labor force participation on fertility in the Philippines. Using data from the National Demographic and Health Survey and the Labor Force Survey (NDHS & LFS, 1998, 2003 and 2008) of the National Statistics Office, we apply the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method to the data. We find a significant association between female labor force participation and fertility rates. Our control variables include the wealth index, traditional contraceptive use, Catholic religious affiliation, marital status, and age at first marriage. Wealth index, marital status and Catholic religious affiliation, are also shown to be significantly associated with fertility rates. Overall, our study findings support our hypothesis.

    (2011-03) Dimagiba, Maria Elisa B.; Saculsan, Phoebe Grace J.; Solon, Jose Orville C.
    Rapid population growth has been one of the problems facing developing countries like the Philippines. Though Though world population growth rate is slowly decreasing, this issue must be given importance as to not have negative long-term effects on the health of Using economy. Using a multivariate estimation strategy and data derived National Demography 2008 Health Survey and Health Survey or NDHS, we want to come up with a conclusive analysis on the relationship between the actual and the desired number of children of the mother, which is one Furthermore, the determinants of population. Furthermore, a total of 9, 964 sexually active women were examined to determine whether the husband's choices and own preferred number of We affect the fertility of the mother. We expect that this will have great effects especially in the We society, where males are still primarily dominant. We found out that in a framework including this and other factors, husband's preference The the greatest marginal effects on our chosen dependent variable. The analysis done has many implications on current family planning programs in the country. We consider increasing available information on family planning services with the emphasis on the roles and responsibilities of both the husband and the wife on actual fertility and fertility preferences to be one policy implication based on our findings.
