- W2314773144 abstract "The prevention of unwanted births (defined as births not wanted at the time of conception) has long been a fundamental justification for investment of public and private resources in family planning services. Unwanted childbearing is assumed to have detrimental consequences - for the child and for its family and larger community - that are distinctive substantial and potentially long-term. There is however surprisingly little empirical research that offers a solid scientific basis for this assumption especially in low-income non-Western societies. We analyze longitudinal data from rural Bangladesh collected in the period 1982-2002 that are unusually well-suited to address the issue of the consequences of unwanted childbearing: the sample of children is moderately large child wantedness is measured prospectively and on a sex-specific basis and the follow-up is relatively longterm extending through childhood into adolescence for some of the sample. Two child outcomes are examined: mortality before age 5; and educational attainment. We employ two analytical strategies to remove confounding effects of unmeasured factors: models with fixed effects for sibset; and a provided by the random assignment of child sex. Estimation employing both of these strategies yields significant effects of child wantedness. Large effects on infant mortality (both neonatal and post-neonatal) emerge under the fixed effects approach with odds ratios on the order of 2.0. Corresponding effects on mortality are not evident in the natural experiment analysis however. The estimated effects on schooling are more consistent across the two approaches: unwanted children attain on average 7%-9% fewer years of schooling than wanted children. (authors)" @default.
