- W2343050244 abstract "Previous studies, conducted mainly in Asian countries, have shown that women'sempowerment is associated with contraceptive use, lower fertility, and longer birth intervals. Yetlittle is known about the association of women's empowerment with fertility desires in subSaharanAfrican countries where overall fertility levels remain high. This study tries to fill thisgap, exploring whether women's empowerment affects their ideal number of children and theirability to have only the number of children they want. This study used couples data from fourrecent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) in sub-Saharan Africa: Guinea 2005, Mali 2006,Namibia 2006/2007, and Zambia 2007. Women's empowerment was measured by women'sparticipation in household decision-making, and by two indices representing gender-roleattitudes: attitudes toward wife beating and attitudes toward refusing sex with one's husband.The results of the multivariable models indicate that, in two of four countries, having egalitariangender-role attitudes was associated with having a smaller ideal number of children, even afteradjusting for other factors. Greater household decision-making was not as consistently associatedwith a smaller ideal number of children. In all four countries, a husband having a greater idealnumber of children was associated with the woman having a greater ideal number of children,regardless of her level of empowerment. Additionally, in Namibia, empowered women weremore likely than less empowered women to have more children than they desired. This findinglikely reflects dissatisfaction felt by more empowered women whose fertility is high, consistentwith social norms, but who personally value smaller families. Additional research is needed thatevaluates the validity of the household decision-making index as an indicator of empowerment inthe context of sub-Saharan communities." @default.
