Behavioural Contraception Methods and Urban Graduates: Summing Up the Evidence.This book analyses the reasons for relying on behavioural contraception methods among urban ‘elites’ in India and examines their efficacy in controlling fertility. It also traces variations in contraception choice over the reproductive cycle of women. Although researchers and policy makers generally equate reliance on behavioural contraceptive methods with low levels of education and awareness and lack of desire to control fertility, this perception has been questioned in recent years. The authors’ analysis of the first three rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data in India reveals that behavioural contraceptive methods are popular in eastern India. Moreover, it is urban educated women who rely on behavioural methods, and are apparently able to regulate fertility quite effectively with such methods. NFHS data, however, has some limitations and this motivates the authors to explore birth control methods through primary surveys of currently married graduate women in Kolkata. The use of behavioural contraception methods is a little researched area globally and this is the first book focusing on the topic in India.SpringerBriefs in Population Studies,2211-3215DemographyPopulationMaternal and child health servicesSex (Psychology)Gender expressionDemographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000Population Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000Maternal and Child Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27025Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090Demography.Population.Maternal and child health services.Sex (Psychology).Gender expression.Demography.Population Economics.Maternal and Child Health.Gender Studies.363.960954Husain Zakirauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut935765Dutta Mousumiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149588403321Fertility Control in a Risk Society2494475UNINA
