Despite the fluctuations between surveys, the data generally showonly modest declines until the mid- 1980s. Between 1985 <strong>and</strong> 1989, the decline in mean number of childrenever born was substantial in all but the youngest <strong>and</strong> oldest age groups. Although there was then little changebelween 1989 <strong>and</strong> 1991, the rates again decline considerably between 1991 <strong>and</strong> <strong>1993</strong>-94, especially amongwomen age 25 <strong>and</strong> above.Table 3.10 Trends in children ever bornMean number of children ever bom by age group, selected sources, <strong>Bangladesh</strong>, 1975-<strong>1994</strong>1975 1981 1983 1985 1989 1989 1991 <strong>1993</strong>-94Age group BFS CPS CPS CPS BFS CPS CPS B<strong>DHS</strong>15-19 0.6 0.5 0.6 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.320-24 2.3 2.0 2.2 2.0 1.7 1.8 1.7 1.625-29 4.2 3.7 3.8 3.6 3.1 3.3 3.2 2.930-34 5.7 5.4 5.5 5.1 4.7 4.7 4.5 4.135-39 6.7 6.4 6.5 6.5 5.9 5.9 5.7 5.240-44 7.1 7.3 7.4 7.4 6.6 7.0 6.7 6.445-49 6.7 7.6 7.5 7.2 7.3 7.5 7.4 6.9Total U U U U U U 3.5 3.0U = Unknown (not available)Source: 1983 <strong>and</strong> 1985 CPSs (Kanmer <strong>and</strong> Frankenberg, 1988:21); 1991 CPS (Mitra et al., t993:31); allothers (Clel<strong>and</strong> et al., <strong>1994</strong>:11)33
