Re-examination of the polygyny-fertility hypothesis, by multiple regression analysis of the 1988 Ghana DHS data, reveals that polygyny has no effect on the number of children ever born; i.e. polygynously married women are as fertile as those monogamously married. Husband's age has no significant role in determining the number of children ever born to a woman.
通过对1988年加纳人口与健康调查(DHS)数据进行多元回归分析,对一夫多妻制与生育力假说的重新审视表明,一夫多妻制对终身生育子女数没有影响;也就是说,一夫多妻制婚姻中的女性与一夫一妻制婚姻中的女性生育能力相同。丈夫的年龄在决定女性终身生育子女数方面没有显著作用。
