Résumé
In India, sterilisation is the most frequent method of modern contraception, and is primarily used by women. The contemporaneous assessment of sterilisation literature focuses only on trends and patterns that are limited to socioeconomic considerations, ignoring the cohort and period issues. No study has employed Age Period Cohort (APC) analysis to highlight the effect of APC on a particular outcome to yet. We have used maximum entropy method modelling to analyse the individual influence of APC on female sterilisation in India using the four rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS). While the older group had higher sterilisation rates than the younger cohort, the age effects were found to have a standard inverted U-shaped curve, with women sterilising in their mid-30s as the might have completed their desire family size. The analysis found high rural-urban differentials in utilising female sterilisation, highlighting the relevance of education and empowerment in contraceptive decision-making among the educated one. Female sterilisation has become less common among Muslims in India over time, and among uneducated women, and it has shifted to later ages with each succeeding period. This was determined to be concerning in terms of India's future fertility. Since 1947, the government has implemented numerous policies to provide women with a variety of contraceptive options; however, the dominance of female sterilisation throughout all periods demonstrates that the government's efforts to provide temporary methods were futile.
