This study examined the influence of previous marriage outcome on women’s fertility preference by analysing 2013 NDHS weighted sample data of 2,671 Nigerian women, who reported to have re-married. The analysis employed Chi-square test and Multinomial Logistic Regression Model. The result indicates that, apart from previous marriage outcome, ideal number of children, wealth status, and ethnicity are predictors of re-married women’s fertility preference. Women who lost their husband in their previous marriage were more likely to desire no more children than other categories of women. The study recommends enlightenment campaign to empower women, especially the widowed to make informed choices about their marital status after the death of husbands, also, to increase their sexual bargaining power in lat...

The survey provided information about demographic characteristics, sexuality and other reproductive health indicators among men and women of reproductive age in separate data files. The data was extracted by dropping the data of women who had less than 4 children and those whose responses to question about fertility intention were different from "wanted more" and "wanted no more" from the main dataset of the 38,000 women who were interviewed in the Survey. By applying the weighting factor to adjust for cases of under- and over-sampling, the dataset used for the study was approximately 12,202. The data was analysed with the aid of Stata 15 to examine the predictors of fertility preference among women who had at least 4 children. The tested predictors were socio-demographic characteristics inc...

Electoral processes and nomination of candidates at election often laced with ethnicity and discrimination. Selection of candidates for political offices usually follows politics of ethnicity. The constitutional provision which ensures equity often suspended whenever candidates were presented for electoral offices. This study examines causes of ethnic consideration as the basis for political participation. This study argues that recognition of every community member would enhance qualitative political participation in Nigeria. Recognition Theory, a social justice theoretical framework, was used in this study to explain concepts such as discrimination, ethnicity and participatory politics, and their centrality to democratic values in Nigeria. The theory provides explanation for the inequalities in political participation such as inaccessibility, disassociation, discrimination, prejudice and non-participatio...

Compliance with the WHO guidelines on the minimum number of antenatal care (ANC) contacts could improve these indicators. We assessed the compliance with WHO recommended standards on ANC contacts in Nigeria and identify the associated factors. Methods Nationally representative cross-sectional data during pregnancy of 21,785 most recent births within five years preceding the 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey was used. The number of ANC contacts was categorised into “None”, “1–3”, “4–7” and “8 or more” contacts based on subsequent WHO guidelines. Descriptive statistics, bivariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression was used at p = 0.05. Results About 25 % of the women had no ANC contact, 58 % had at least 4 contacts while only 20 % had 8 or more ANC contacts. The highest rate of 8 or more ANC contacts was in Osun (80.2 %), Lagos (76.8 %), and Imo (72.0 %) while the lowest rates were in Kebbi ...

While most studies focused on the time of initiation and number of ANC contacts, emphasis was rarely placed on the components of ANC offered women. This study assessed the number of components of ANC received by pregnant women as a proxy for the quality of ANC services offered in Nigeria. We also assessed the clustering of the components and within-country differentials and inequalities in the components of ANC received in Nigeria.Methods: We used nationally representative cross-sectional data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey. We analysed data of 11867 women who had at least one ANC contacts during the most recent pregnancy within five years preceding the survey. The assessed components were tetanus injection, blood pressure, urine test, blood test, iron supp...

Despite 96.5% having knowledge on family planning, only 20% are using modern methods. The main objective of study was to find out the determinants of contraceptive use among married women and policy implication in Tanzania. The study use Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey 2004-2005. Data were analysed quantitatively through, binary and multinomial logistic regression. Results show that husband disapproval of contraceptive use, women education, husband and women approval of family planning, discussion of family planning with partners, wealth index, and religion, are determinants of contraceptive use. Based on these results, we recommend increasing women enrolment in all levels of education. This paper suggests that having nice policy, on women empowerment is important but its effective implementation is the most important.

These approaches have yielded negligible impact as fertility preference remains high among most Nigerian women of reproductive age who are still giving birth to more than an average of four children previously recommended by a national policy. Studies have focused on fertility preference among various groups of childbearing women, but knowledge of the issue among high-parity women needs to be further explored. Employing chi-square and binary logistic regression for analyses, the data on women who had at least four living children were extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (2018 NDHS)to examine the associated factors of fertility intentions. The results indicate significant relationships of fertility intentions with women’s current age, region of residence, level of education, and husband’s desire for more children. Other predictors of fertility in...

This study utilized the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to examine the determinants of married men's contraceptive use in Southwest Nigeria. Analysis was restricted to the data on 1,414 married or co-habiting men in Southwest Nigeria as extracted from the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. Stata was used for the analysis and percentage distribution, Chi-square test and Binary Logistic Regression were employed. The findings reveal that ideal number of children (χ 2 = 16.723, p<0.05), desire for more children (χ 2 = 40.125, p<0.001), number of living children (χ 2 = 11.857, p<0.05), and decision-making on family large purchases (χ 2 = 30.819, p<0.001) show statistically significant relationship with contraceptive use. Finally, among the variables used as the proxies for the variables in the model of TPB, social norm (ideal number of children, odd ratio=1.186, p<0.001); perceived behavioural control (decision-maker on family large purchases, odd ratio=1.289, p<0.05); and intention (desire for more children, odd ratio=2.247, p<0.05) were found to be significant predictors of actual behaviour (contraceptive use) among married men. The study concluded that in addition to socio-demographic characteristics, married men's high fertility preferences determine contraceptive use in Southwest Nigeria. Therefore, social advocacy policy should be strengthened and directed at correcting the pronatalist's norms and men's dominance in family decision-making.
