Description
Childlessness has serious social, economic, demographic and health
implications. This study aims at investigating social, economic and demographic
determinants of voluntary childlessness in Myanmar. Voluntary childlessness is
defined as currently married women who have no living children and use any
contraceptive method. The data used in this study were secondary data obtained from
the 2015-16 Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS). The weighted
sample of currently married women were 7759 but only 283 voluntary childless
women among them were included in this study. Firstly, descriptive statistics was
used to point out social, economic and demographic characteristics for currently
married women, voluntary childless women and spatial variation of voluntary
childless women in Myanmar. Yangon Region and Rakhine State had the highest
percentage of voluntary childlessness. Then, the Pearson Chi-square test was applied
to examine the association between social, economic and demographic characteristics
and voluntary childlessness. Educational attainment of women and their husbands,
woman’s employment status, occupation of women and their husbands, wealth
quintile, woman’s age, husband’s age, age at first marriage, marital duration and place
of residence were independent variables. According to the Pearson Chi-Square test,
they were significantly related to voluntary childlessness. In addition, binary response
models such as logit, probit and complementary log-log models were applied to
investigate social, economic and demographic determinants of voluntary childlessness
and the most appropriate model was chosen by using model selection criteria. It was
found that the complementary log-log model was most appropriate model. Based on
the findings, woman’s educational attainment, husband’s educational attainment,
woman’s employment status, woman’s occupation such as skilled manual and
unskilled manual, fourth and highest wealth quintiles, age at first marriage and place
of residence were more likely and significant determinants to be voluntary
childlessness. Woman’s age, husbands at age groups except (35-39), marital duration
for 5-9 years were less likely and significant determinants to be voluntary
childlessness.
