Childbearing Trajectories in a West African Setting: A Sequence Analysis Approach
The lagging fertility transition in West Africa has important repercussions for global population growth, but remains badly understood. In this paper we examine diversity in women’s holistic childbearing trajectories in Niakhar, Senegal between the early 1960s and 2018 using a sequence analysis approach. We evaluate the prevalence of trajectories, their contribution to overall fertility levels, and their association with women’s socioeconomic and cultural characteristics. Our study advances knowledge on the fertility transition in Niakhar, and Sahelian West African contexts more generally, by showing the diversity of childbearing trajectories within high fertility regional contexts.
