PIP: The total fertility rate of women in El Salvador has declined from an average of 6 children per woman in the 1970s to 4.4 in 1985, according to the Demographic and Health Survey report by Westinghouse's Institute for Resource Development. 5200 women aged 15-49, from areas covering 75-80% of the country, were surveyed. Contraceptive usage has risen from 34 to 47%. The usual method chosen is sterilization, by 70% of women. Only 7% of married women use the pill, 3% the IUD, 3% rhythm or withdrawal. Rural women, making up the majority of the population, accounted for a decline in total fertility from 8.4 to 5.9 children. In the capital San Salvador, fertility has risen from 2.6 to 3.3 children, reflecting migration of rural people into the city. The instability in El Salvador is probably responsible for a lowered life expectancy from 60 to 57 years, and for heavy out migration in the 1980s. Vaccination rates have improved recently to 47% of children under 5 years.^ieng
