Abstract

An analysis of fertility trends in Comilla-Kotwali than an area unit of 100 square miles) East Pakistan utilizing the Bogue pregnancy history technique indicates that fertility has declined by approximately 27% in the thana between 1958 and 1967. The results reflect the impact of the organizer approach to family planning as well as the commercial distribution program. If the present trend continues it could be expected that the more fertile age groups of 15-19 years and 20-24 years will make a greater contribution to reduction in total fertility while the older groups may contribute less to the reduction.(Authors Modified)
