Abstract
This thesis examines fertility and family planning in the four
ecological zones in Rural West Java Province: the Northern, Highland,
Southern and Banten zones. It investigates variations in fertility
among ever married women according to education, occupation, age at
marriage, marital status and number of marriages. The index of fertility
in this 3tudy is the mean number of children ever born to ever married
women.
The analysis found that both before and after standardization,
there was an apparent dichotomy of fertility: the Highland and Banten
zones with high fertility and the Southern and Northern zones with lower
fertility. This dichotomy of fertility also persists when various
socio-economic variables are controlled. This study also shows that the
Highlanders and the Southerners accepted family planning more readily
than the Northerners and Bantenese.
