| pubmed-article:7876289 | pubmed:abstractText | This analysis of the 1986 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey data finds remarkably high fertility levels among women who have never married or lived with a man, reflecting widespread pre-marital sex and a lack of use of contraception. It is found that single Liberian women are more likely to foster out children than married Liberian women of the same age. | lld:pubmed |

| pubmed-article:7876289 | pubmed:otherAbstract | PIP: Analysis of the results from the 1986 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey revealed high fertility of 6.5 children per woman, which included very high unmarried adolescent fertility. The definition of marriage was very loose and included any unions that were described as a type of marriage. 20.9% of the 5239 women 15-49 years old reported themselves as never married or never having lived with a man. Single women were a large proportion. The general fertility rate was 189 births per 1000 women. The total fertility rate for single women was 5.1. Age specific fertility for single women 15-19 years old was 163 per 1000. Premarital fertility was low in Lofa and Bomi counties; in the Gio, Gola, Pkelle and Mandingo tribes; and among women with post-secondary education. The highest premarital fertility was among the Krahn and Vai tribes in Kru Coast and Grand Cape Mount counties. The logistic model showed that a woman's age and tribe were significantly related to the probability of a live birth in the 12 months preceding the survey among single women. Insignificant factors included women's education, county, urban-rural residence, and religion. Only the Gbandi tribe, the Kpelle tribe, and Lofa county had any significant effects. Kpelle tribe and Lofa county were both negative and significant. The Gbandi tribe was positive and significant. 16% of women reported being virgins, of which 97% were less than 20 years old. About 29% of sexually active single women reported ever use of contraception, of which use 86.l% was of at least one modern method. Most contraceptive use among single women was among those with at least a secondary education. Women in Monrovia had higher contraceptive use. Single Catholic women were more likely to have used contraception than other religious women. Low contraceptive use was indicated by sexually experienced single women without schooling, women from the Mandingo tribe, and women in Nimba county. Child fostering was widespread and used more by single women than cohabiting or married women. | lld:pubmed |
