Bu çalışma en az bir kez evlenmiş Bangladeşli kadınların ilk doğumdaki yaş örüntülerini ve bu yaşa etki eden sosyo-ekonomik, kültürel ve demografik faktörleri belirlemeye odaklanmaktadır. Kullanılan veri 2011 Bangladeş Nüfus ve Sağlık Araştırması’ndan elde edilmiştir. Kadınların ilk doğum yaşının örüntüsü yaşam tablosu yöntemiyle, orta değişkenlerin ilk doğum yaşına etkisi ise Cox orantılı tehlike modeliyle belirlenmiştir. Bangladeşli kadınların ilk evlenme yaşının trimean ortalaması 18 yaş olarak belirlenmiştir. İlk doğuma geçiş hızı Müslüman, kırsal alanlarda ikamet eden, okuma yazma bilmeyen, ilkokul mezunu olup ortaokuldan az eğitim almış veya ekonomik olarak orta veya yoksul olarak nitelendirilen hanehalklarında yaşayan kadınlar arasında daha yüksektir. İlk evlenme yaşı, gebeliği önleyici yöntem kullanmış olma, eşler arasındaki yaş farkı, din, cevaplayıcının çalışma durumu ve eşin işi de ilk evlenme yaşıyla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki sergilemiştir

PATTERNS AND DETERMINANTS OF AGE AT FIRST BIRTH IN BANGLADESH

Öz

This paper focuses on determining the patterns and socio-economic, cultural and demographic factors of age at first birth for ever-married Bangladeshi women. This study utilized data from the 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS). The age pattern of women at first birth is estimated using the life table technique and the impact of covariates on age at first birth is determined using the Cox’s proportional hazard model. The trimean of age at first birth of Bangladeshi women is found to be 18 years. The pace of having first birth is faster among women who are Muslims, rural residents, illiterates or primary school graduates with below secondary level of education and those from households categorized as economically poor or middle. Age at first marriage, ever use of any contraception, spousal age difference, religion, respondent's working status and husband's occupation showed significant association with age at first birth
