Abstract: The present study has been undertaken to study the fertility behaviour in District Bilaspur of Himachal Pradesh. A total sample comprises 150 households, total numbers of observations for all sampled couples were 164 and dependent variable is total children ever born (TCEB). Step wise forward regression analysis was applied to examine the effect of social, economic and demographic variables on total number of children ever born (TCEB) of the sampled women. The result of stepwise regression shows that total male surviving children were alone responsible for 28 percent of variation in total no. of children ever born. The second step include age of wife at the time of marriage 21 years or more, its partial regression coefficient is (-0.366) negative indicates that higher the age at the time of marriage lower the level of fertility. Third step includes duration of effective marriage 21 years or above, positive sign of regression coefficient (0.314) indicates that fertility is likely to increase with duration of marriage. Fourth step includes wife age at the time of marriage 18 to 20 years, its partial regression coefficient is negative (-0.258). Fifth step includes number of children dead, its partial regression coefficient is (0.179) positive. This indicates higher the mortality higher the fertility level. Sixth step includes wife education above senior secondary school complete, its partial regression coefficient is (-0.141) negative higher the level of education of wife, lower the level of fertility. Seventh step includes duration of effective marriage 16-20 years, its partial regression coefficient is (0.131) positive. Eighth step also includes duration of effective marriage 6-10 years increases the value of R2 to 59 percent. Ninth step includes duration of effective marriage 11-15 years increases the value of R2 to 62 percent. Tenth step includes husband working in private sector increases the value of R2 to 63 percent. Eleventh step includes elders’ takes decision about son preferences, its partial regression coefficient is (0.101) positive shows that when elders prefer son over daughter increases the fertility level. Twelfth step includes husband doing business increases the value of R2 to 65 percent.
Keywords: Fertility behaviour, regression analysis, total number of children ever born.
