| Title | Fertility in Kyrgyzstan: individual female characteristics |
| Summary | There is a large literature on fertility determinants. Mostly negative associations between income and fertility as well as negative education-fertility correlations were found in many countries. The main purpose of research is to identify the main characteristics of women aged from 15 to 49 who are able to give a birth or already have children and also to measure the magnitude of these characteristics. Kyrgyz Integrated Household Survey data for period of years 2005-2012 was used for analysis under fixed effects estimation method. Actual number of children a woman has given birth to was taken as a dependent variable. Results have shown that females who have more children are coming from relatively poor families, reside in rural areas and have low level of education. Possible policy targets were suggested. |
