collective book have been later derived thereof.
Maps
Fertility maps from the SIFP database were also prepared for rural area. Maps can downloaded from here.
Fertility map for rural Andhra Pradesh
Fertility map for rural Karnataka
These maps have been prepared from village level data. The child-woman ratio is used as an indicator of fertility levels. As the population of villages can be extremely small, child-woman ratios computed in these localities can take erratic values. Therefore, villages were initially clustered into spatial aggregates for which child-woman ratios are computed. We then computed a surface map using the kriging technique and finally a contour map. Details on the methodology can be found in our PPSS.
