Chapter 4. Fertility2000 FSM Census of Chuuk Stateeducation had on average 2.9 children. Interestingly, women with no schooling had lower fertility than those womenwith elementary education. This finding is common because some education often increases a woman's awareness ofpre-natal care thus improves her health status and ability to bear children. Additionally, between 1994 and 2000 theTFR declined all the education level except for “no school” category.Table 4.7: Children Ever Born per Woman and TFR by Mother's Educational Attainment, Chuuk State: 1994 and 20001994 2000No Elem- High H.S.

Table 4.8 presents a comparison ofthe 1994 and 2000 data on fertility rates for women who were in the labor force, employed or unemployed, and thosenot in the labor force. As would be expected, in both years, those women who were in the labor force had lowerfertility levels (TFR of 3.4) than the women who were not in the labor force (TFR of 4.5), probably because womenwho had children in the year before the census took themselves out of the labor force to care for their child. Within thelabor force, women working full time (35+ hours) had the lowest fertility rates. Women who were looking for work (orunemployed) had higher fertility rates.Table 4.8: Children Ever Born per Woman and TFR by Labor Force Participation, Chuuk State: 1994 and 20001994 2000In the labor force (LF) Not in In the labor force Not inAll Total Employed Unem- labor Total Employed Unem- laborAge groups women in LF Total 35+ hours ployed force women in LF Total 35+ hours ployed force15 to 19 years 0.086 0.092 0.109 0.122 0.087 0.085 0.075 0.128 0.073 0.148 0.170 0.05420 to 24 years 0.651 0.524 0.553 0.407 0.503 0.708 0.630 0.594 0.574 0.239 0.610 0.67725 to 29 years 2.042 1.526 1.347 1.160 1.761 2.286 1.586 1.462 1.359 0.893 1.582 1.76830 to 34 years 3.664 3.258 3.039 2.804 3.649 3.840 3.072 2.946 2.943 1.794 2.951 3.27135 to 39 years 5.061 4.432 4.272 4.014 4.795 5.427 4.443 4.350 4.363 3.825 4.327 4.60540 to 44 years 6.279 5.713 5.413 5.247 6.326 6.595 5.575 5.467 5.518 4.380 5.309 5.73245 to 49 years 6.734 6.322 6.130 6.273 6.808 6.915 6.238 6.083 6.055 4.636 6.172 6.458TFR 4.35 3.50 3.45 3.15 3.57 4.78 3.84 3.47 3.31 2.57 3.59 4.51Source: 1994 FSM Census, Table P134; 2000 FSM Census, Table P9-3.Finally, fertility differentials by region are considered in Table 4.9. The reported age specific fertility rate was usedto assess the differentials in current level of fertility. Faichuk had the highest fertility rates in both 1994 and 2000.Mortlocks had the lowest fertility rates for both censuses. In both years Faichuk had higher fertility rates at theyounger and older ages, suggesting the absence of family planning. The relatively lower level of fertility for theMortlocks could be the result of more females enrolled in school and delay in marriage. In both years, fertilitypeaks at ages 25-29 or 30-34 in all the regions.Table 4.9: Age-specific Fertility Rates by Region, Chuuk State: 1994 and 20001994 2000Age groups Total N. Namon. S. Namon.
