The demand for additional children is influenced by the presence of sons within a family. This study is based on cross-sectional data of 9416 currently married women under age 50 from a Pakistan national survey in 1979-80. The analysis suggests that having at least one son in the family influences the demand for additional children. Urban and rural comparisons indicated a higher preference for sons in urban areas. Unless the socioeconomic milieu changes, son preference is likely to remain strong in Pakistan.
家庭中儿子的存在会影响生育更多孩子的意愿。本研究基于1979 - 1980年巴基斯坦全国调查中9416名年龄在50岁以下的已婚女性的横断面数据。分析表明，家庭中至少有一个儿子会影响生育更多孩子的意愿。城乡比较显示城市地区对儿子的偏好更高。除非社会经济环境发生变化，否则巴基斯坦对儿子的偏好可能会持续强烈。
