Children … are they not assets? An-Magritt Jensen, NTNU Project: Fertility and Poverty: The Role of Gender en Reproductive Health. The Norglobal-dissemination seminar, Oct. 25 2011

Background Global fertility decline Exceptions: Kenya among them Two areas Western: fertility fall and stall Coast: stable fertility What happened? Picture: Woman with 7 daughters, Western 1988.

Two studies – twenty years A follow-up from studies 1988 in Western and 1991 Coast Provinces. Team Coast 1991 – coresearcher A.A. Khasakhala taking picture Team Coast 2011 – coresearcher A.A. Khasakhala no 2 from right, back

Why and how Background: New study: 20 years ago - highest fertility in Western, lowest in Coast (apart from Nairobi). Now: Fertility in Western has declined, but remain highest. Little change in Coast. Result: both provices among highest in the country New study: Same villages More men Individual and Focus Groups interviews Generations - efforts to re- interview people from the first study Western, highest 1989 and now. Coast lowest 1989 (apart from Nairobi) is now 3rd. highest. (Nyanca second)

Two generations – example (Pictures: mother and daughter, Western 2011) Mary, 40 years in 1988, married at age 14, 2 wives, knew about family planning but husband objected, born 10 children. One of them is Alice, born on the road. In addition we have interviewed Mary’s co-wife, two(?) of her sons and a daughter-in-law.

First impressions Poverty remains widespread Education has increased Fewer have child losses More use Family Planning Fewer have STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) Picture: village Coast, 2011

What happened? Western: educated and jobless men Coast: educated women Example: electric wirer, mother of one, the only in the village with this competence. Unable to complete education due to lack of money. An exception? Three hypotheses: Western: decline in desired number of children, but children remain an important ”asset” Coast: STD-down, FP-up, stable fertility: more control. Higher correspondence between actual and desired number of children.
