Última Family Size, Economics and Child Gender Preference: A Case Study in the Nyeri District of Kenya AgEcon Kiriti, Tabitha; Tisdell, Clement A.. Kenyan women have more children, especially in rural areas, than in most developing nations. This is widely believed to be an impediment to Kenya’s economic development. Thus, factors influencing family size in the Kenyan context are important for its future. A brief review of economic theories of fertility leads to the conclusion that both economics and social/cultural factors must be considered simultaneously when examining factors that determine the number of children in a family. The need to do this is borne out in Kenya’s situation by utilising responses from a random sample of rural households in the Nyeri district of Kenya. Economic and social/cultural factors intertwine to influence family sizes in this district. After providing a summary of the...

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/105583 The Relationship between Commercial Agriculture and Food Availability to Kenyan Farm Families: A Case Study AgEcon Kiriti, Tabitha; Tisdell, Clement A.. This article examines the effects of agricultural commercialization and other factors on per capita food availability by means of a case study in the Nyeri district in Kenya. It was found that cash cropping has a negative influence on per capita food availability in the male-headed households. This negative influence is not apparent in the female-headed households and in fact, per capita food availability rises with increased agricultural commercialization. Households of married women seem to suffer more in terms of reduced food availability than households headed by females. Husbands have control over cash income and therefore influence food purchases. They are less likely than females to use the cash for food purchases and tend to spend the cash on...

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/105585 Empirical Analysis on Factors Affecting Demand Scale of Land Circulation in Rural China - A Case of Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China AgEcon Yu, Haowei; Song, Fang; Li, Xiaohong. Literatures about factors affecting demand scale of rural land circulation are reviewed. Based on this, a total of 5 deficiencies in these literatures are put forward, which are the inconsistency between model selection and sample data type in some literatures, the lack of analysis from the perspective of internal family, the incomplete or inaccurate research factors, the lack of analysis on causation, and the mixture of inflow and outflow of land circulation. According to the 109 valid questionnaires in Lanshan Area, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China, Optimal Scaling Regression Analysis is used to conduct empirical study on the land circulation status of Rizhao City by selecting three variables including family size, the annual net income of rural...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/55906 Sample size for family evaluation in potato breeding programs Ciência e Agrotecnologia Diniz,Maria Cristina Duarte Rios; Pinto,César Augusto Brasil Pereira; Lambert,Eduardo de Souza. Clonal families from a broad genetic base population in the Potato Breeding Program at the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), Brazil, were used in this trials. Twenty-five families were assessed in a 5 x 5 triple lattice design. Each plot consisted of 30 clones distributed in three rows of ten plants. Tuber yield per plant, percentage of large tubers, mean weight of large tubers, mean medium-sized tuber weight and tuber specific gravity were measured. Three hundred experiments were simulated varying the family sizes from three to 90 clones. The coefficients of experimental variation (CVe), the coefficients of genetic variation (CVg), heritabilities for family mean and the CVg/CVe ratio were estimated. Genetic parameters were stabilized with family... Tipo: Info:eu-repo/semantics/article Palavras-chave: Family size; Family selection; Genetic variance; Solanum tuberosum L.
