Mexico 1987: results from the demographic and health survey.

Abstract：

:The Mexico National Survey on Fertility and Health was national in scope. Data was collected from 7786 households and complete interviews conducted with 9310 women aged 15-49. Field work took place between February and May, 1987. The size of the general population grew from 44.8 million in 1965 to 70.4 million in 1980, and increase of 57.1%. There was a 26.7% decline in the birth rate during those same years. Crude death rates fell from 10.8/1000 in 1965 to 6.8/1000 in 1980, a 37% decrease. There was an increase in life expectancy from 59.4 years in 1965 to 66.4 years in 1980, an 11.8% increase. There was a 20.9% increase in urban areas during these years. The gross national product per capita was $1860 in 1980. There was a 26% decrease in the labor force in agriculture, from 50% in 1965 to 37% in 1980. The total number of women surveyed with no education was 10.8%; 22.3% were rural, 6.7%, urban. The total number of women who had completed their secondary education was 40.5%. The total fertility rate was estimated at 4.0% in 1984-1986. Total fertility rates are 5.8 for rural; 3.3, urban. The mean ideal number of children across all ages is 3.0. The number of women who want no more children by all births is 4.7. The % of women in union who are using contraception is 52.7. The source of contraceptive supply for users of modern contraceptive methods in different surveys, 1979-87 (percent) is 51.1 Mexican Institute of Social Security in the national prevalence survey; 53.4 in the national demographic survey, 1982; and 61.9 in the national fertility and health survey. The % of women currently using any contraceptive method is 52.7%; 44.6% for any modern method. Women who want no more children are 58.9%; 26.8%, want more children; 10.9% are pregnant and 3.5% are undecided. The main reason for nonuse of contraceptives by women in union who want no more children is that they consider use unnecessary (33.8%). At ages 45-49, 69.8% of Mexican women are married; 4.7% are single; 9.9% are in union; 7.5% are widowed; 1.9% are divorced; and 6.2% are separated. Differentials in age at 1st marriage are 19.4 for women. The duration of postpartum interval for breastfeeding women is 10.5 months; amenorrheic and/or abstaining, 7.5 months; amenorrhea, 5.6 months; and abstaining 4.4 months. UN estimates of the infant mortality rate (IMR) are 53/1000 for 1980-85; survey estimates 47/1000 for 1982-87. Rural IMR is 79 per 100; urban IMR is 42 per 100. Mean children ever-born to mothers aged 40-44 are 5.43; 4.88 survive; 0.55 die; the proportion dead is 0.10.
