Fourper cent of children have lost their father, one per cent have lost their mother, and less than 1 per cent(0.2 per cent) have lost both the parents, which is comparable to that for the state as a whole (0.3 percent) as estimated in MICS 2000..B • B & • . $#) H7%;/### /%$/0 %# ) H(7;/### /%%/"2//###"##/0Births per 1,000 population25.137.9436.740 10 20 30 402001 1991 1981• 8 )8 .5 0 /%%/ "##/ ;$2 H/ • 8 8 .5 9 '5 E /%%7IE 5 D "##":MATERNAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHMarriageMarriage is early and universal in Bellary. Half (51 per cent) ofwomen aged 15- 19 are married, and almost all (96 per cent) ofwomen aged 25- 29 years are married. The mean age at marriageamong the ever-married women aged 15- 49 is 15 years, themedian also being 15 years. In comparison, the mean and medianages at marriage in the state are 17 and 15 years, respectively(MICS 2000). Women who completed high school were married,on average, about 5 years later than illiterate women (20 yearsversus 15 years). The mean age at marriage in urban areas isgreater than that in rural areas (17 years compared with 15years).The majority (77 per cent) of ever-married womenmarried before age 18, the legal minimum age at marriage forfemales in India. While 83 per cent of the married women inrural areas were married before 18, this proportion is 63 per centin urban areas. While only 15 per cent of ever-married womenwho have completed high school were married before the legalminimum age at marriage, 86 per cent of illiterate women did so.The median age at first pregnancy is 16.6 years, 16.4 years inrural areas and 17.3 years in urban areas. The difference inmedian age at first pregnancy is greatest between illiteratewomen and those who have completed high school: 16 and 21years, respectively.Almost two-thirds (63 percent) of all women aged 15-49 in Bellary becamepregnant before age 20, andthis proportion is almost sixtimes higher for illiteratewomen than for women whohave completed high school(75 per cent per centcompared with 12 per cent).About two in three ruralwomen had their firstpregnancy before age 20, andthis proportion is 53 per cent11Percentage of ever-married women aged 15-49 whoare married before age 18 and became pregnantbefore age 2083Rural6863UrbanMarried under 18 Pregnant under 2053
in urban areas.Fertility and family planningBased on the information on births during the 12 months prior to thesurvey, the estimated crude birth rate for Bellary district is 28 birthsper 1,000 population. The total fertility rate (TFR), which is theaverage number of children a woman would bear if she experiencedcurrent age-specific fertility rates, during her reproductive years, is2.9 births per woman. Completed fertility among women aged 45-49 who have already lived through most of their reproductive yearsis 5.6 (6.0 in rural areas and 4.9 in urban areas), on average. Thisrate is much higher than the TFR because most of the fertilityexperienced by women aged 45- 49 occurred further back in timewhen fertility rates were higher.Half (50 per cent) of currently married women aged 15- 49 use acontraceptive method. Forty-six per cent of the couple are sterilised(either the woman is sterilised or her husband is sterilised).Sterilisation thus dominates contraceptive use, accounting for 91 percent of current contraceptive prevalence. Only 3 per cent of womenuse any modern temporary method such as the pill, IUD or condom.The current contraceptive prevalence in the district is lower thanthat in the state (58 per cent as estimated by both MICS 2000 andNFHS-2).Current contraceptive use among currentlymarried women aged 15-49Not usingany method50%Other1%Any moderntemporarymethod3%Sterilization46%respectively) than other women (55 per cent).Substantial differences incontraceptive use areobserved by religion andcaste. Hindus are more likelyto use contraceptive methodsthan Muslims (51 per centcompared with 46 per cent);and women belonging toscheduled castes andscheduled tribes are lesslikely to use family planning(48 per cent and 43 per cent,Antenatal careThree-fourths (76 per cent) of women who had a delivery during theyear preceding the survey received antenatal care either at home oroutside the home, and this percentage is smaller than the state as awhole (84 per cent, as estimated by MICS 2000). Among thosewho received any antenatal check-up, 73 per cent received therecommended three or more check-ups but only 48 per centreceived the first antenatal check-up during the first trimester.Four-fifths of women who received antenatal check-ups receivedtwo doses of tetanus toxoid vaccine, and 84 per cent received iron12 • 5 !
