Factors affecting number of Children everborn in ever-married women age 15-49 years in Kanchanaburi
(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Rahman, Lima; Buppha Sirirassamee; Orapin Pitakmahaket; Yupin Vorasiriamorn
With great concern over the development prospects of the nation, the government in the late 1950s adopted an antinatalist population policy. The dramatic drop in fertility (about 60 percent within a period of 25 years) gives rise to the question: what are the underlying causes of this change? It had been assumed at aggregate level that urbanization and modernization leading to socioeconomic and demographic changes played a major role in explaining the rapid pace and profound nature of fertility changes. This study examines, childbearing in Kanchanaburi project area to identify the factors, which have affect on number of children everborn. The study is based on investigating secondary data from baseline survey 2000, Kachanaburi project of IPSR, Mahidol University, which is supported by Wellcome Trust. The factors affecting the number of children everborn of a total of 8,263 ever-married women of reproductive age were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The average number of children everborn was two. Most of the women resided in rural areas and most of them were over 30. Their average educational length was five years and half of the sample was involved with agricultural work. The average age at first marriage was 20 years. Almost half of the sample got married below age 19 and entered into early motherhood. It was evident from the study that 38 percent of the sample had a history of teenage pregnancy. Considering birth order, it was found that married women who were less educated and got married early gave birth to more children compared with those women who were more educated and married later. Moreover, the women involved with agricultural work had more
children compared with non-agrobased and unemployed women. From the multivariate analysis, it was found that demographic factor, age, age at first
marriage and contraceptive practice, and socioeconomic factors, education, income, place of residence and community participation have a significant effect on number of children everborn. The predictor variables can explain a 39 percent variation in number of children everborn. Findings strongly suggest that, in the project area, at the individual level demographic
and socioeconomic factors have a significant effect on number of children everborn and small families were preferred. But the pattern of childbearing firmly brought to light the issue of adolescent pregnancy. So, adolescent reproductive health programmes should be introduced in order to reduce early pregnancies and their consequence. Specific focus should be given to
contraceptive choice among the married women. In order to fully understand women's reproductive intention, future research needs to be focused on factors affecting the desire number of children.

This study aims to investigate factors affecting crime against properties by
male juveniles in the Central Observation and Protection Centers, Bangkok. 120 male juveniles are the sample group who had committed crimes against property and being admitted in the training centers of Ban Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Ubekkha. Questionnaire is the instrument used for data collection. Frequency, percentage, mean, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) are statistical application in analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. Most in the sample group are between 17-18 years of age with primary level of education and residing in Bangkok. They are unemployed and earning no income with less than 100 Baht a day for daily expenses. They are living with their parents, who occasionally quarrel. Sample group felt that they did not obtain warmth from parents and had associations with both lawful and offending relatives and friends. 2. Attributes and emotions of most of the sample group are charterised by simple works, expeditious, composed and of good mood but inconsistent and rather
fiery. 3. Most are involved with crimes against properties with an accomplice, but without use of arms in the offense. Most violations are committed during the nighttime at the unawareness of the existing proprietors in moat communities. Cause of offense is often greed to own the property or its arousal in association with conditional forces e.g. poverty and the existing opportunity and situation facilitate committing offense. It is recommended that there should be promotion and the strengthening of the family institution where members contribute more to mutual warmth and relationships. Benefits include protecting family members not to turn to narcotics or to associate with
bad friends or offenders. Further, either government or the private sector should organize activities to strengthen the family institution as a path and a good foundation for social good and values.

factors, extrinsic factors and intrinsic factors related to participation or non-
participation in early retirement programs by army officers in Bangkok. The data were collected through the use of a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The data were analyzed by using the following statistics: Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation and chi-square. It was found that job satisfaction factors and intrinsic factors were not related to participation or non-participation in early retirement programs of the extrinsic
factors of job satisfaction, there were three aspects of fourteen that were statistically significantly related to participation or non-participation in early retirement program at the low level. The personal factors statistically significantly related to participation or non-participation in early retirement programs were sex (male > female), age (under 25 years old > over 25 years old), rank (equivalency between Major-Colonel, 1st Master Sergeant-3"d Master Sergeant), year of service (equivalency at 20-30 years. Additionally, in participant groups, the combat supports were larger than the combat officers. But in non-participant group, the combat officers were larger. On the
character of job, there were equivalencies between administrative jobs in both groups. According to the study, the Royal Thai Army needs further study in early retirement programs for army officers to find out method of developing in this program. To reasonably retain qualified long-term officers, other factors that affect or are involved in the early retirement program should be studied.
