dc.description.abstractChildbearing is one of the central events in a woman’s life and the age at which this event occurs has important health, socioeconomic and fertility implications for her. Methods: We used three waves of the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys (GDHS) from the individual files of married women aged 15 to 49 years old to explore the trends in the timing of the onset of parenthood among women in Ghana. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the effect of socio-demographic factors on the birth experience of women.en_US
