Cessation of childbearing in the absence of contraception in Sri Lanka
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
In data from the Sri Lanka Fertility Survey, 1975, the cessation of childbearing is examined among women who have never used contraception. They tend to cease childbearing relatively early, and therefore are infertile for longer periods during their marriages. It is probably age of the first child that influences decisions on future fertility.
