Women's education appears to be the strongest determinant of variation in marriage age, and all the other factors show statistically significant influences.

This chapter examines changes in marriage and fertility among Jordanians and Syrian refugees in Jordan. It finds considerable continuity in marriage practices among Jordanians from 2010 to 2016. Jordanians witnessed very modest increases in median age at first marriage. Education is the main factor associated with later ages at marriage and first birth among women. The cost of marriage among Jordanians has declined since 2010 and is unlikely to have contributed to trends in marriage age. Despite the small increase in age at first marriage, fertility declined among Jordanians from a total fertility rate of 3.9 in 2010 to 3.3 in 2016. Compared to the Jordanians, Syrian refugees experienced an earlier transition to marriage and a higher total fertility rate of 4.4 in 2016. The marriage and fertility patterns of Syrian refugees point to high selection on factors associated with earlier marriage and higher fertility.

Migrasi merupakan salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi dinamika penduduk, baik melalui jumlah migran maupun fertilitas migran. Jumlah migrasi yang besar ke Provinsi Jawa Barat merupakan salah satu penyebab peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang cukup besar. Jika migran memiliki fertilitas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan nonmigran, maka pengaruh tersebut akan lebih besar lagi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perbedaan fertilitas antara migran dan nonmigran serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi fertilitas di Jawa Barat. Data yang digunakan adalah data Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) tahun 2015. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat kecenderungan migran memiliki fertilitas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan nonmigran. Sementara itu, faktor sosial ekonomi yang berpengaruh terhadap fertilitas adalah pendidikan, usia kawin pertama, penggunaan alat kontrasepsi, dan kegiatan utama (pekerjaan).  Migration is one of the factors that influences the dynamics of population, both through the number of migrants and the fertility of migrants. The large number of migrants to West Java Province is one of the causes of a considerable increase in population. If migrants have higher fertility than non-migrants, the effect will be even greater. This study aims to examine the difference of fertility between migrants and non-migrants as well as factors affecting fertility in West Java. The data used is 2015 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas). The analysis is done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that there is a tendency for migrants to have higher fertility compared with non-migrants while the socio-economic factors that have an effect on fertility are education, first marriage age, use of contraceptives, and main activities (work).

SummaryThis paper examines the effect of age at first marriage, number of wives and type of marital union on fertility among Yoruba females in Western Nigeria. The evidence indicates that age at first marriage and hunband's number of wives do not have a significant effect on completed fertility. Type of marital union, on the other hand, seems to have an effect on fertility. Women in de facto unions experience lower fertility than women in formal marriages.

This article engages with Jewish marriage in the urban centers of the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire: the purpose of marriage, the choice of a proper spouse, the place of emotion in choosing a mate at first marriage, age at first marriage, the limits of patriarchal authority, power struggles between rabbinic leaders, and use made by Jewish litigants of the empire’s power in order to achieve their goals. Several rulings made by Salonikan rabbinic authorities of the time provide a “thick description” of the affair, enabling us to comprehend the behavior of all involved parties in terms of the sociological, political, religious, financial, and gendered context in which they lived.

SummaryData collected as part of the World Fertility Survey programme in the mid-1970s in four Muslim populations (Bangladesh, Java (Indonesia), Jordan and Pakistan) show that the demographic variables age at first marriage, duration of marriage, status of first marriage and experience of child loss explain most of the variations in fertility among these populations. There was no consistent pattern which could explain fertility differentials by selected socioeconomic variables. Fertility differentials by wife–husband education and childhood–current residence were found not to be in the expected direction in most of the populations. Fertility transition has not yet started among the majority of the people in these populations.

SummaryThis paper analyses the effects of age at first marriage, level of education, place of residence, marriage disruption, religion, contraceptive use, and work status on cumulative fertility in Kenya, using data from the 1977–78 Kenya Fertility Survey. Age at first marriage is the main determinant of cumulative fertility, but there are significant effects of level of education and marriage disruption. Place of residence is only significant for the Coast province. The implication of the findings is that to promote any real decline in fertility, emphasis should be placed on providing higher education and work opportunities for young women as an alternative to early marriage.

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect fertility in rural areas by taking the case of Pelayangan Village, Muara Tembesi District, Batanghari Regency. The study used a survey method with a sample of women of childbearing age in the study village. The analytical tool used is path analysis. The results of the analysis found that simultaneously women's education, family income and age at first marriage had a significant effect on fertility. Partially based on path analysis shows that a) The age of first marriage has a significant negative effect on fertility. The higher the age at first marriage, the lower the fertility rate; b) Women's education has a significant negative effect on fertility both directly and indirectly through the age of first marriage; c) Income does not have a significant effect on fertility either directly or indirectly through the age of first marriage.
