From page 74... ... Therefore, there is no clear trend in the propensity to use contraception in the intervals examined. In spite of the alight decline in breastfeeding and the absence of trends in contraception, the coefficient estimates in Tables Al and A2 show remarkably little change as the period of analysis is restricted.

From page 75... ... Thus in the more recent period, there are larger social and economic differentials in breastfeeding behavior than are indicated by the full sample results. In the case of contraception, the coefficient on women's education drops from being statistically significant at the .05 level to being of borderline significance, but the change in the size of the standard error in small and may be attributable to the reduced sample size.

From page 78... ... The coefficients on the variable indicating that the method used is coitu -- dependent increase in absolute value as the period is restricted, partly because the longer intervals in the earlier periods may be the result of long and effective use of these methods, as already noted in the main text.
