Abstract
Birth interval pattern can be used to draw attention on the significant characteristics of reproduction and dynamics of fertility transition. The focus of current paper is to study the effect of socioeconomic, demographic and proximate determinants on the length of birth intervals for Pakistani women. Cox Regression Model is used for modeling the birth intervals. It is evident from higher order birth interval models that age of women, preceding birth interval, education of women and survival status of preceding child are major determinants of all birth intervals. In the Proximate Determinant Models, period of breastfeeding and age of women have played significant role in the determination of all birth intervals. Enhancement in women’s education, discouraging gender biasness, improvement in health facilities and promotion of long breastfeeding period can be helpful in expanding the birth spacing.
