"ABSTRAK Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengklarifikasi pengaruh perubahan ketimpangan pendidikan terhadap perbedaan kecepatan penurunan fertilitas yang terjadi antarprovinsi di Indonesia dengan menggunakan metode efek tetap. Perubahan sosial ekonomi seperti peningkatan capaian pendidikan, perubahan pada pendapatan per kapita, penurunan kematian bayi, dan perubahan penggunaan kontrasepsi dijadikan sebagai variabel kontrol. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa, dengan mengasumsikan variabel lainnya tetap, provinsi yang berhasil mengurangi ketimpangan pendidikan perempuan cenderung untuk mengalami transisi fertilitas yang lebih cepat. Penemuan ini mengimplikasikan bahwa pemerataan pendidikan merupakan salah satu faktor penting untuk mengatasi masalah kependudukan di Indonesia saat ini.

ABSTRAK This study empirically investigates the relationship between changes in educational inequality and the pace of fertility decline across provinces in Indonesia using fixed effect method. Other socio-economic changes such as increasing educational attainment, changes in per capita income, declining infant mortality, and changes in contraceptive use were used as control variables. Results reveal that, all other things being equal, provinces which are able to reduce educational inequality of women tend to have a faster fertility transition. This finding implies that education equality is one of the main factor to overcome population problem in Indonesia."

"This study is an attempt to investigate the general level of fertility in Kafanchan, a town in Kaduna State of Nigeria. The main concern is to examine the individual and group behavior of the population with specific reference to the prevailing fertility rates. The paper examines some of socio-cultural factors that relate to fertility history, attitude related to fertility and knowledge and use of contraception. On the average, fertility in this community is high. Fertility is high while the mortality is low. However, as a measure towards demographic readjustment, a further reduction in the level of mortality may lead to decline in fertility. Some future planning implications of the existing fertility levels are discussed in the light of the current population policy and development planning in the country."
