Power Relations and Contraceptive Use: Gender Differentials in Bangladesh
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous research tends to ignore men and women’s contraceptive use based on existing power relations at the household level. Male role theory and power theory suggest that although men dominate at the household level and influence all the decisions that have taken place, these men become really invisible when it comes to contraceptive use. The present study attempts to explain the impact of power relations on differential contraceptive use among men and women in Bangladesh. Since the main objective of this research is to see differentials based on gender, men’s and women’s data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2000 have been matched based on cluster number, household number, and line number and merged to get sample size of 2249. The results suggest that power relations at the household level have a significant impact in transcending barriers to contraceptive use. Key words: gender differential; contraceptive use; power relations; and hierarchical linear model Resume: Les recherches anterieures ont une tendance d’ignorer l’utilisation de contracceptif des hommes et des femmes, basee sur le rapport de force existant au niveau familial. La theorie du role masculin et la theorie du pouvoir suggere que meme si les hommes dominent sur les femmes au niveau familial et qu’ils exercent une influence sur toutes les decisions, ils deviennent invisibles quand il s’agit de l’utilisation de contraceptifs. L’etudes presente cherche a expliquer l’effet du rapport de force sur l’utilisation de contraceptifs chez les hommes et les femmes au Bangladesh. L’objectif de cette recherche est de devoiler les differences chez les deux 1-15 sexes. Les donnees sur les hommes et les femmes venant de l’enquete de la demographie et de la sante du Bangladesh en 2000 sont bien assorties pour avoir un echantillon de 2249 personnes. Le reslutat montre que le rapport de force au niveau familal a une influence significative sur l’utilisation de contraceptifs. Mots-Cles: differences de sexe; utilisaiton de contraceptifs; rapport de force; modele lineaire hierarchique

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
