Abstract
This publication contains three separate papers on aspects of the demographic transition in metropolitan Sudan. The first paper by J. Richard Mohamed el-Awad and Galal el-Din focuses on the beginnings of family limitation in the three contiguous towns of Khartoum Khartoum North and Omdurman. The data concern 2673 women from various social groups and were collected in 1975. A relationship between lower fertility and more egalitarian marriages is noted. The second paper by Abdul-Aziz Farah and Samuel H. Preston is concerned with child mortality differentials. Data are from the 1973 census and the 1975 survey mentioned previously. Factors considered include education cousin marriage and husbands income. The final paper by Abdul-Aziz Farah deals with the relationship between infant mortality and the socioeconomic determinants of fertility attitudes and behavior in Greater Khartoum and also uses data from the 1975 survey of three towns. The effects of infant mortality on child replacement and contraceptive practice are considered.
