本文探讨了如何在妇女的绝育决定的影响相结合的一个男孩的孩子和一个小的家庭规模的年轻已婚妇女在两个城市贫民窟在Bengalu，印度的愿望。虽然重男轻女和强调绝育是大多数南亚国家众所周知的人口特征，但将两者联系起来的研究相对较少。我们利用416个未绝育的已婚妇女年龄在16-25岁的纵向调查，探讨如何有儿子和孩子的数量影响一个女人的绝育决定。离散时间的事件历史技术被用来估计两个模型：第一个检查的影响，有儿子和孩子的数量分别，第二个检查它们的组合形式的相互作用。结果表明，绝育的动机是儿子的偏好，主要是在较低的奇偶校验（三个或更少的孩子）和关注家庭规模在较高的奇偶校验。了解绝育和其他生殖行为如何受到家庭规模和性别偏好相互作用的影响，将有助于决策者和方案制定者满足妇女的需要，同时继续解决对女性的歧视行为。
This paper explores the ways in which women’s sterilisation decisions are influenced by the combination of a preference for male children and a desire for smaller family size among young married women in two urban slums in Bengaluru, India. While both son preference and an emphasis on sterilisation are well-known demographic characteristics of most south-Asian countries, relatively little research has been conducted that links the two. We take advantage of a longitudinal survey of 416 unsterilised married women aged 16–25 to explore how having sons and the number of children influence a woman’s sterilisation decision. Discrete-time event-history techniques are used to estimate two models: the first examines the effect of having sons and number of children separately, and the second examines them in combination in the form of an interaction. The results suggest sterilization is motivated by son preference mainly at lower parities (three or fewer children) and by concerns about family size at higher parities. Understanding how sterilisation and other reproductive behaviours are influenced by the interaction of family size and sex preferences will help policymakers and programmers to meet the needs of women while continuing to address discriminatory behaviour against females.
