Despite its small size, Barbados exhibits some striking regional differences in fertility levels, which persisted during a period of major fertility decline in the 1960s. Regression analyses are performed for 28 subregions, using sex ratio, male occupational structure, female education, and female employment for 1960 and 1970 as the independent variables. The spatial influence of the Barbados family planning program is also considered. The author argues that a concentration of family planning programs in areas of greatest accessibility and modernization contributes to spatial variations in fertility.
尽管巴巴多斯面积不大，但在生育率水平上呈现出一些显著的地区差异，这些差异在20世纪60年代生育率大幅下降期间依然存在。以1960年和1970年的性别比、男性职业结构、女性教育程度和女性就业情况作为自变量，对28个分区进行了回归分析。同时也考虑了巴巴多斯计划生育项目的空间影响。作者认为，将计划生育项目集中在最容易接触到且最现代化的地区会导致生育率出现空间差异。
