Description

INTRODUCTION The Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) 1998 recorded a total fertility rate (TFR) of 4.6 births per woman, comfortably the lowest national level of fertility in West Africa (1). Fertility has fallen markedly in Ghana since the mid-1980s (1-4). Ghana's entry into fertility decline occurred somewhat later than those observed for black South Africans, in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Kenya (5-8). More recently, significant reductions in fertility have been observed in many other sub-Saharan African countries, including other West African states, such as Cameroon, Senegal, and Togo (9-11).
