Major questions on attitudes and future reproductive intentions of women and men investigated by the Demographic and Health Surveys in Developing countries are expected to help researchers predict the future fertility outcomes of individuals. An important assumption underlying such questions is that peoples’ reproductive intentions remain relatively stable enough to influence their behavior at some future date. Unfortunately, reproductive intentions or aspirations are subject to change due to life course events; reproductive intentions may not reflect future behavior. Research from cross-sectional data has consistently shown that intentions do in fact reflect behavior. However, the extent to which reproductive desires do actually reflect subsequent remains unclear, especially given that such intentions may change. Longitudinal data provide avenues to investigate these issues, particularly the stability of reproductive intentions over time.
