Estimation of the total fertility rates and proximate ...
Bongaarts (1978) developed a simple mathematical model to quantify the effects of the proximate determinants on fertility (12). Accordingly, in this paper, the Bongaarts model is applied to estimate the various total fertility rates (TFRs) and look into the relative contribution of the above proximate ...
Partnership in Improving Reproductive Health
Bongaarts (1978) later developed a model that provides estimates of the relative effects of the intermediate variables on fertility. Bongaarts and Potter (1983) identified four key variables, or proximate determinants, that account for most cross-country variation in fertility levels: they are marriage ...

Introduction It is now almost 30 years since John Bongaarts observed that the social, economic and cultural factors which influence fertility operate through what he called 'proximate determinants' (Bongaarts 1978).
Future Population Growth and Policy Options
Efforts to slow this population expansion cannot include increases in mortality, and they therefore have to focus on reducing fertility. Three broad policy options for accelerating fertility decline can be pursued (Bongaarts 1994):
