What is our Motivation?

What’s the point?
Natural Birth Control Method vs. Artificial Birth Conrtol
What is our aim?
1. Estimate the demand function for contraceptives and its different methods in the Philippines. 2.To determine if the RH bill will have an effect on the demand for contraceptives in the Philippines 3. To determine which birth control method is most frequently used 4. To determine the different variables that would affect the usage of the different methods of contraceptives

Urban/rural residence
Cohabitation with in-laws
Contraceptive knowledge
Opp. Cost(Working status)
Household income

Utility & preferences
What does the theory say?

Independent Variables
- stock of capital- population- per capita stock of capital - consumption per capita - population policy expenditure per capita
- consumption patterns of the parents
- consumption of the existing children
- welfare is a function of both family size and consumption
- birth or contraception rate- the average age in the period- household-specific taste parameter- cumulative fertility of household j over the two time periods

- Household characteristics
- Utility of middle aged- Utility of old aged- Utility of having a child for parents
- Utility of adults- Happiness of youth- Guilt the children would feel towards their parents
- potential market income- weight of children in utility- goods produced at home- number of children that is regarded as a basic need- unit of time- fertility rate- child survival rate
How do we go about this?
