The author discusses the use of loglinear models in demographic analysis, particularly with regard to the analysis of contingency tables. Their use is illustrated using data from the 1980 World Fertility Survey for Sudan to analyze the determinants of fifth-birth intervals. The results show "the ability of the technique to improve our understanding of the mechanism of fertility differentials using individual--instead of aggregate--data. It has shown how each variable affects the process when all other variables are held constant...

"This paper presents a detailed investigation of period fertility trends in Egypt. It focusses on parity groups and changes in quantum and tempo of fertility of these groups. The analysis is further refined by controlling for age within each parity considered. The source of data...is the Egyptian Fertility Survey (EFS 80)....a retrospective fertility survey collected from a sample of 8,788 ever married Egyptian women in 1980."

"Data from the 1985 Amman Follow-Up Health and Population Survey are used to examine the association between child mortality and socioeconomic and environmental conditions which are directly influenced by...[government sponsored development activities]. Ordinary least squares regression is used in the analysis and the estimates show that the proportionate effects of mother's education, housing quality, water and electricity supply, availability of soap for handwashing and sewage connection are highly significant...

"The objective of this paper...is to identify the socio-economic determinants of contraceptive use in a multivariate context, in order to determine their combined predictive power, as well as their importance when controlling for other variables (i.e. demographic variables)....The study investigates the fertility differentials of the various contraceptive categories." Data are from the 1976 Jordanian Fertility Survey.

"In the present paper, a method of constructing a fertility table based on the observed current parity distribution, developed by Nour (1984), is used to obtain a parity-specific fertility [rate] for Egypt....Nour's method is based on the assumption that women at a given parity and age will have the same fertility behavior regardless of their previous experience." Data are from the 1980 Egyptian Fertility Survey.
