Age at First Birth, Delaying Age at First Birth, Low Fertility, Ever-Married WomenAbstract
This study aims to explore 1) the situation and trend of maternal age at first childbirth in Thailand, using four nationally-representative, cross-sectional survey data with fertility information between year 2001 and 2016 were employed to explore the trend in childbearing and 2) if there is any correlation between demographic, socioeconomic, and reproductive health factors and delaying age at first birth by adopted the Causal Model of Age at First Birth developed by Rindfuss & St. John in 1983 to guide the analysis. To investigate the relationship between determinants and delaying age at first birth, quantitative data from 2016 Survey of Population Change and Well-being in the Context of Aging Society (PCWAS) conducted by College of Population Studies, Chulalongkorn University was employed. The survey sample, comprising 9,457 women aged between 15-49 years old, is restricted to ever-married women with at least one live birth. Given our interest in addressing the determinants of delaying age at first birth, the sample is further limited to women aged between 30-49 years, and who provided valid information to all variables used in the analysis. By these restrictions, younger women aged between 15-29 years were excluded from the analysis and the size of final sample is 4,324 women. Results show that the mean age at first birth in 2016 was 23.5 years. The figure slightly changed from 2001 to 2016. However, proportion of women who have their first child at 30 years or older were increased from 10.4% in 2001 to 14.5% in 2016. When all other variables were controlled for in the logistic regression analysis model, the results show that demographic factors (i.e. women’s current age, age at first marriage, and number of children wanted) are strongest predictor of having the first child at 29 years or later. Education, infecundity, infertility and career orientation are also found to have influence on delaying age at first birth.
