Journal Article
Decision making autonomy and fertility behaviour among currently married women in Nigeria
2019
Overview
Background: Decision-making autonomy as a component of women's
status is a less studied indicator of fertility behaviour in Nigeria.
Data and Methods: The study utilizes the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and
Health Survey (NDHS) data to determine women's characteristics
associated with decision-making autonomy and examine the influence of
decision-making autonomy on fertility behaviour among currently married
women in Nigeria. Relationships between decision-making autonomy and
fertility behaviour were examined using Poisson and Binary logistic
regressions. Results: Results showed that, about 60% of currently
married women were of low autonomy. Decision-making autonomy was
associated with women's age, age at marriage, level of education,
religion, employment status, type of residence and household wealth
status. The result further showed that women's decision-making
autonomy was significantly associated with lower number of living
children and increased contraceptive use. Conclusion: The study
concludes that women's decision-making autonomy is an important
predictor of fertility behaviour among currently married women in
Nigeria.
