We revisit fertility regulation in Tunisia by examining the role of the extended family. As marriage is the exclusive acknowledged childbearing context, we examine fertility analysis in Tunisia through the sequence: woman's marriage age, post-marriage delay in the first use of contraception, and past and current contraceptive use. We trace the family socio-economic influences that operate through these decisions.
Using data from the 2001 PAP-FAM Tunisian survey, we estimate the duration and probability models of these birth control decisions.
In Tunisia, family ties and socio-cultural environment appear to hamper fertility regulation that operates through the above decisions. This is notably the case for couples whose marriages are arranged by the extended family or who benefit from financial support from both parental families.
This calls for family planning policies that address more the extended families.
我们通过考察大家庭的作用来重新审视突尼斯的生育调控。由于婚姻是唯一公认的生育环境，我们通过以下顺序来检查突尼斯的生育分析：女性的结婚年龄、婚后首次使用避孕措施的延迟时间、过去和现在的避孕措施使用情况。我们追溯了通过这些决策起作用的家庭社会经济影响。
我们使用 2001 年 PAP-FAM 突尼斯调查的数据，估计了这些节育决策的持续时间和概率模型。
在突尼斯，家庭关系和社会文化环境似乎阻碍了通过上述决策进行的生育调控。对于那些婚姻由大家庭安排或受益于双方父母家庭经济支持的夫妇来说，情况尤其如此。
这就需要制定计划生育政策，更多地关注大家庭。
