Uganda. Specifically, the research study aimed at examining the relationship between age at
first birth and fertility levels, the relationship between residence and fertility levels, the
relationship between wealth index and fertility and the relationship between education levels
and fertility, the relationship between age and fertility levels and the relationship between
occupation and fertility levels.
The research used UDHS 2016 data with a measured and weighted sample size of 18506
women aged 15-49 years. Explanatory variables such as Age of respondents at first birth, place
of residence, education level, age, wealth status, occupation and region were significant in the
research while and religion was insignificant and the dependent variable was number of CEB.
Majority of the women begin child bearing at an early age (15-19) and they were found to be
having at least three children. Those residing in the rural areas had more number of children
compared to those in the urban, women with primary education 57.4% were found to be
having more children compared to those with higher levels, poorest had the highest number of
children ever born and majority were Catholics. | en_US |
