Summary
In the last few decades, BKKBN had success with the slogan "two children are enough, men and women are same", but in the lives of people of West Sumatra with the matrilineal system, probably will have its own assessment. Temuan penting dari studi ini adalah sebuah rumah tangga yang telah memiliki 2 orang anak dengan jenis kelamin yang sama memiliki kecenderungan yang tinggi untuk segera menambah anak. Implikasi dari studi ini mengindikasikan bahwa pentingnya peningkatan pendidikan khususnya bagi kaum wanita, penundaan usia menikah, dan khususnya perencanaan jenis kelamin janin yang saat ini masih sangat jarang dilakukan dalam upaya untuk mengurangi tingkat fertilitas. Selanjutnya Cigno (dalam Dartanto,2008) menyatakan bahwa permintaan anak ditentukan oleh umur, pendidikan, usia saat pernikahan pertama, usia pernikahan, tingkat kematian bayi, preferensi jenis kelamin anak, wilayah, upah istri, dan pendapatan. Menurunnya tingkat fertilitas di Sumatera Barat menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi pergeseran nilai anak bagi rumah tangga.
