在非洲，男子在生殖决策中的作用程度是一个有争议的问题。尽管关于男性在生育决策中扮演的角色的研究工作量很大，但很少有人尝试直接从经验上估计男性的偏好对生育行为的影响。我利用1989年和1993年的肯尼亚人口和健康调查来研究男性和女性的生育偏好对避孕用具使用的相对作用。对偏好的相加和交互测量证明了男性偏好的显著影响，这可能会使女性的偏好黯然失色。对这些发现的意义进行了讨论。
The extent of men's roles in reproductive decision-making in Africa is a subject of contention. Despite the volume of work on the roles men play in fertility decisions, there have been few attempts to derive direct empirical estimates of the effect of men's preferences on reproductive behavior. I employ 1989 and 1993 Kenya Demographic and Health Surveys to examine the relative roles of the reproductive preferences of males and females on contraceptive use. Additive and interactive measures of preferences document a significant effect of men's preferences, which may eclipse women's preferences. The implications of these findings are discussed.
