Résumé
During the past 40 years, increased access of women to schooling, and
especially secondary education, has been associated with a decline in
fertility in Kinshasa. Ethnic differences in fertility were documented in
the Congo in the mid-1950s. These differences, apparent as well among women
residing in Kinshasa, were linked to variations across ethnic groups in the
incidence of venereal disease and sterility. By the mid-1970s, ethnic
differences in fertility had diminished, but were still present.
This paper updates the evidence on fertility differentials by ethnic
group in Kinshasa, using a 1990 survey of more than 2,400 reproductive-age
women. The focus is on six broad ethnic groups that are well-represented in
the city. The changes that occurred between 1955 and 1990 in ethnic
fertility differentials took place within a context of increasing
educational attainment of women. We examine the impact of schooling on
fertility differentials by ethnic group. We argue that, for the most part,
educational attainment has replaced ethnicity as a key factor associated
with fertility differences among women. At the same time, however, there
are distinct differences by ethnic group in the proximate determinants of
fertility, and we analyze how these often-offsetting differences contribute
to the observed differentials in childbearing.
La discussion sera introduite par Thérèse Locoh (Ined).
