Wanted and Unwanted Fertility in Bolivia: Does Ethnicity Matter?(Articles) (Report‪)‬

CONTEXT: In Bolivia, the total fertility rate (TFR) among indigenous populations is higher than that among the non-indigenous population. It is important to investigate whether this difference is attributable to ethnic differences in wanted or unwanted fertility. METHODS: Data from the 2003 Bolivian Demographic and Health Survey were used to estimate women's wanted and unwanted TFRs. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine whether women's, men's and couples' characteristics were associated with use of any contraceptive method and modern methods.
