The 1996 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) is a nationally representative survey conducted by the Central Statistical Office at the request of the Ministry of Health, with the aim of gathering reliable information on fertility, childhood and maternal mortality rates, maternal and child health indicators, contraceptive knowledge and use, and knowledge and prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including AIDS. The survey is a follow-up to the Zambia DHS survey carried out in 1992. The primary objectives of the ZDHS are: To collect up-to-date information on fertility, infant and child mortality and family planning; To collect information on health-related matters such as breastfeeding, antenatal care, children's immunisations and childhood diseases; To assess the nutritional status of mothers and children; iv) To support dissemination and utilisation of the results in planning, managing and improving family planning and health services in the country; and To enhance the survey capabilities of the institutions involved in order to facilitate the implementation of surveys of this type in the future. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS FERTILITY Fertility Trends. The 1996 ZDHS survey results indicate that the level of fertility in Zambia is continuing to decline. Fertility Differentials. Some women are apparently leading the fertility decline. Moreover, women who have received some secondary education have the lowest level of fertility. Age at First Birth. Childbearing begins early in Zambia, with over one-third of women becoming mothers by the time they reach age 18 and around two-thirds having had a child by the time they reach age 20. Birth Intervals. The majority of Zambian children (81 percent) are born after a "safe" birth interval (24 or more months apart), with 36 percent born at least 36 months after a prior birth. Nevertheless, 19 percent of non-first births occur less than 24 months after the preceding birth. The overall median birth interval is 32 months. Fertility Preferences. Survey data indicate that there is a strong desire for children and a preference for large families in Zambian society. Unplanned Fertility. Despite the increasing level of contraceptive use, ZDHS data indicate that unplanned pregnancies are still common. FAMILY PLANNING Increasing Use of Contraception. The contraceptive prevalence rate in Zambia has increased significantly over the past five years, rising from 15 percent in 1992 to 26 percent in 1996. Differentials in Family Planning Use. Differentials in current use of family planning by province are large. Source of Contraception. Six in ten users obtain their methods from public sources, while 24 percent use non-governmental medical sources and shops and friends account for the remaining 13 percent. Government health centres (41 percent) and government hospitals (16 percent) are the most common sources of contraceptive methods. Knowledge of Contraceptive Methods. Knowledge of contraceptive methods is nearly universal, with 96 percent of all women and men knowing at least one method of family planning. Family Planning Messages. One reason for the increase in level of contraceptive awareness is that family planning messages are prevalent. Unmet Need for Family Planning. ZDHS data show that there is a considerable unmet need for family planning services in Zambia. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH Maternal Health Care. ZDHS data show some encouraging results regarding maternal health care, as well as to some areas in which improvements could be made. Results show that most Zambian mothers receive antenatal care, 3 percent from a doctor and 93 percent from a nurse or trained midwife. High Childhood Mortality. One of the more disturbing findings from the survey is that child survival has not improved over the past few years. Childhood Vaccination Coverage. Vaccination coverage against the most common childhood illnesses has increased recently. Childhood Health. ZDHS data indicate that Zambian mothers are reasonably well-informed about childhood illnesses and that a high proportion are treated appropriately. Breastfeeding Practices. The ZDHS results indicate that breastfeeding is almost universally practised in Zambia, with a median duration of 20 months. Knowledge and Behaviour Regarding AIDS. Survey results indicate that virtually all respondents had heard of AIDS. Common sources of information were friends/relatives, the radio, and health workers. The vast majority of respondents80 percent of women and 94 percent of mensay they have changed their behaviour in order to avoid contracting AIDS, mostly by restricting themselves to one sexual partner.

In 1995 a cross-sectional study of the Swedish population between the ages of 20 and 85 was carried out. In this study, three dimensions of gerotranscendence were approximated and operationalized in three measures: cosmic transcendence, coherence and need for solitude. The general purpose of the 2001 study was to obtain a better understanding of the gerotranscendence patterns when the unlimited age span 65+ is studied in detail. As in the previous 1995 study, a series of questions/statements were framed in accordance with dimensions of gerotranscendence. Statements measuring the cosmic transcendence included: 'I feel connected with the entire universe', 'I feel that I am part of everything alive', 'I can feel a strong presence of people who are elsewhere', 'Sometimes I feel like I live in the past and present simultaneously', and 'I feel a strong connection with earlier generations'. Coherence was measured by the respondent's attitude to following statements: 'My life feels chaotic and disrupted' and 'The life I have lived has coherence and meaning'. Statements measuring solitude included: 'I like to be myself better than being with others', 'I like meetings with new people', and 'Being at peace and philosophizing by myself is important for my well-being'. The respondents were also asked if their view on life and existence had changed compared to when they were 50 years old. Respondents were also asked to read a list of common diseases and mark the diseases they suffered from. In the same vein, the respondents were asked if they, during the past two years, had experienced something they regarded as a life crises. Furthermore the respondents were asked how often they: a) participated in activities outside the home (organizational activities, church, cinema, theatre, etc.), b) receive visitors at home (friends, neighbors, children, other relatives), c) themselves visit friends,neighbors, children or other relatives. Response alternatives were: daily, weekly, monthly, every six months, less often. Purpose: The general purpose of the 2001 study was to obtain a better understanding of the gerotranscendence patterns when the unlimited age span 65+ is studied in detail The response rate declined with age from 76 percent in the lowest age category to 53 percent in the highest. År 1995 genomfördes en tvärsnittsstudie av den svenska befolkningen i åldrarna mellan 20 och 85. I studien studerades och mättes tre dimensioner av gerotranscendens; kosmisk transcendens, sammanhang, och behovet av att vara ensam. Det övergripande syftet med studien var att få en bättre förståelse för de gerotranscendentala mönsterna när man studerar åldrarna 65 år och äldre i detalj. Precis som vid studien som gjordes 1995 ställdes frågor och påståenden i enlighet med de olika dimensionerna. Påståenden som mätte den kosmiska transcendensen var exempelvis: "Jag känner samhörighet med hela universum" "Jag känner att jag är en del av allt levande" "Jag kan känna en stark närvaro av personer som inte är med oss längre" "Ibland känns det som att jag lever i det förflutna och i nutid simultant" "Jag känner en stark koppling till tidigare generationer". Sammanhang mättes genom den svarandes attityder till följande påståenden: "Mitt liv känns kaotiskt och splittrat" "Det liv jag har levt har sammanhang och mening". Påståenden som mätte behov av ensamhet var: "Jag tycker mer om att vara ensam än att vara med andra" "Jag gillar möten med nya människor" "Att vara tillfreds och att filosofera ensam är viktigt för mitt välbefinnande". Man frågande även de svarande huruvida deras syn på livet och existens hade förändrats jämfört med när de var 50 år. De svarande tillfrågandes även att läsa från en lista med olika sjukdomar och markera vilka de led av. Samtidigt frågade man om de svarande hade upplevt något som de uppfattade som en livskris under de senaste två åren. Man frågade även hur ofta de; a) deltog i aktiviteter utanför hemmet (organiserade aktiviteter, kyrkaktviteter, bio, teater). b) fick besök hemma (vänner, grannar, barn, andra anhöriga) c) om de själva beskökte vänner, grannar, barn eller andra anhöriga. Svarsalternativen var; dagligen, veckovis, månadsvis, varje halvår, mindre ofta. Syfte: Det övergripande syftet med studien var att få en bättre förståelse för de gerotranscendentala mönsterna när man studerar åldrarna 65 år och äldre i detalj Svarsfrekvensen minskade i förhållande till ålder, 76% svar i den yngsta åldersgruppen och 53% i den äldsta. The sample was age stratified with 200 men and 200 women randomly sampled within each of the age categories 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, 95+. Urvalet var åldersstratifierat med 200 män och 200 kvinnor slumpmässigt valda ur respektive ålderskategori 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, 95+.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Friend by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Friend across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.

Key observations

There is a slight majority of female population, with 51.15% of total population being female. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

• Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
• Population: The population of the gender in the Friend is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Friend total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.

Good to know

Margin of Error

Data in the dataset are based on the estimates and are subject to sampling variability and thus a margin of error. Neilsberg Research recommends using caution when presening these estimates in your research.
