Abstract

This analysis of the 1986 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey data finds remarkably high fertility levels among women who have never married or lived with a man, reflecting widespread pre-marital sex and a lack of use of contraception. It is found that single Liberian women are more likely to foster out children than married Liberian women of the same age.

摘要

对1986年利比里亚人口与健康调查数据的分析发现，从未结婚或与男性同居的女性生育率极高，这反映出婚前性行为普遍且避孕措施使用不足。研究发现，利比里亚单身女性比同年龄段的已婚女性更有可能将孩子寄养出去。
