Gender, children, and family planning networks in Kenya
چکیده انگلیسی

This study examines how having young children (those aged less than 18 years) in the households influences the patterns of social interaction between men and women. The study reveals that women's social networks are influenced more than men's by having more young children. Most women are recognizing that having many young children is not only an economic but also a social burden. As such, a large young family forces women to seek instrumental, informational, and emotional support from their friends, thus enlarging their social networks, increasing the intensity of their interactions, and diversifying the composition of their social networks.
