Abstract
This study examines the relationship between fertility intentions and
subsequent childbearing using event history analysis (EHA). All married women who
were born during 1955 to 1985 were followed from July 2001 to August 2004. Their
pregnancy histories were recorded on a monthly basis during this period using Laing’s
Calendar. A total of 1,912 women were included in the event history analysis. The
results suggest that fertility intention and socio-demographic characteristics can predict
subsequent fertility behavior. Intention to have additional children shortens the time
until the subsequent birth occurred. About one fourth of the women took approximately
two years from intention to have a child. It is also indicated that subsequent
childbearing is more likely to occur among the women who are younger, who married
late, who have fewer living children, and who are non-Thai. The analysis indicates that
it is challenging to facilitate fertility intentions and thus more effort is needed to do so.
