This dissertation attempts to investigate determinants of contraceptive use in Bangladesh according to Easterlin's synthesis framework of fertility regulation. Several hypotheses are derived from the Easterlin model and tested with data from the 1979 Bangladesh Contraceptive Prevalence Survey. The study utilizes stepwise logistic regression models as the main statistical tool. The study demonstrates that motivation for contraceptive use is the most important determinant of contraceptive use in both rural and urban Bangladesh. The next most important determinant of contraceptive use is (economic) cost of contraceptive use. The study also indicates that family structure is an important determinant for current use of contraceptive in rural Bangladesh. The study concludes with policy strategies and areas of needed research. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-08, Section: A, page: 2444. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
