An Analysis of Fertility Differentials among Caste Groups in Andhra Pradesh

The fertility differentials among caste groups in Andhra Pradesh are examined in the context of characteristics and interaction hypotheses, using the second National Family Health Survey data. Multivariate analyses on cumulative fertility, birth intervals and contraceptive use show that differentials between the caste groups persist even after controlling for the other socioeconomic and demographic variables. [WP No. 12].
