  2. Data were analysed through the use of SSPSX. A test of the difference between the sample means for preferred number of children (5.86 for Chipapa and 6.99 for Minga) yields a value of z = 3.14, significant at p<.01.

  3. For the variables level of education and reasons for preferred number of children chi square figures were 8.76 (df=1, p=0.003) in the case of the Minga sample and 9.12 (df=1, p=0.001) for the Chipapa sample; for the variables age and reasons for preferred number of children, the chi square figures were respectively 7.69 (df=1, p=0.006) and 31.10 (df=1, p=0.00) for Minga and Chipapa. There was no significant difference between men and women as regards reasons given for a preferred number of children.
