“…Since there is no scope for user error when the sterilisation is performed correctly, failure rate of sterilisation is lower than of any other contraceptive method (Ross, Huber & Hong, 1986). However, a small proportion of failures are reported in many clinical studies throughout the world (Lee & Hagen, 1984;Trussell & Kost, 1987;Trussell et ai, 1990).…”

Response consistency was examined by linking the records of women interviewed in the 1982 Sri Lanka Contraceptive Prevalence Survey with records from the same individuals followed up 3 years later. Seventyeight percent of women reported identical year of birth in the two surveys, but only 58% were consistent for age at marriage. Data on sterilisation and number of children born were highly reliable, but wives' reports on husband's age and education were relatively weak. Multivariate analysis of the effects of socioeconomic factors on consistency in age reporting confirms that education is the most influential factor related to consistency, followed by religion and husband's occupation.

“…Use of voluntary sterilization for fertility control became widespread only during the second half of the twentieth century (Ross et al 1986). In the United States and Australia, contraceptive sterilization increased mainly during the 1970s (Santow 1991; Chandra 1998).…”

This study investigates the association between sterilization and socioeconomic status in comparative context, using data from the 2006–10 National Survey of Family Growth and the 2004–10 Generations and Gender Surveys. We first confirm that longstanding patterns of association between socioeconomic status and sterilization persist in the contemporary United States. Specifically, female sterilization is associated with economic disadvantage whereas male sterilization is associated with economic advantage. We next show that female sterilization is similarly associated with disadvantage in most study countries, whereas a positive association between socioeconomic advantage and male sterilization is largely unique to the United States. However, while basic demographic background factors such as early childbearing and parity can explain the observed associations in most study countries, a strong gendered association between sterilization and socioeconomic status remains in the U.S. and Belgium even when adjusting for these factors.
