"Though the South Indian slate of Andhra Pradesh isexperiencing transition to replacement level, notable fertilitydifferentials persist between the caste groups. Fertility has beenmuch higher among scheduled caste and scheduled tribes comparedto other caste groups. This paper examines the fertility differentialsamong caste groups in the context of characteristics and interactionhypotheses, using the second Indian National Family Health Surveydata. The results of multiple classification analysis on cumulativefertility and proportional hazard analysis on birth intervals show thatdifferentials between caste groups persist even after controlling forthe other socioeconomic and demographic variables. Further, theanalysis of interaction effects show that the caste effect is notconstant across the levels of other socioeconomic factors. In ruralareas and at the lower levels of education and standard of living,fertility is relatively high and scheduled castes and tribes havehigher fertility than ?other? caste. But this situation is reversedcompletely in urban areas and at the higher levels of socioeconomicstatus, where the level of fertility is not only low hut also scheduledcastes and tribes have lower fertility than ?other? castes. Thisindicates with the improvement of socioeconomic status, not onlywill fertility decline, but also the difference in fertility between castegroups will disappear."

"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."
