Zimbabwe does not feature much on the current debate of fertility transition in sub-Saharan Africa. This article is trying to fill this gap by analysing the ZDHS data. The total fertility rate of Zimbabwe was close to 7 births during independence in 1980. However, it has declined to 3.8 in 2006. This does not only show that fertility in Zimbabwe has been declining over the years, but it is one of the lowest in the region. The fertility trend observed is mainly explained by use of contraception. The contraceptive prevalence rate was 60 percent in 2006. It is noted that the contraceptive uptake has continued to increase even during the years when Zimbabwe was going through serious political, economic, social and health challenges. This is because the groundwork done on the family planning programme soon after independence put a solid foundation in motivating women to use contraception.

津巴布韦在目前关于撒哈拉以南非洲生育率过渡的辩论中没有太多特色。本文试图通过分析ZDHS数据来填补这一空白。独立1980年期间,津巴布韦的总生育率接近7胎。但是,它已降至3.8 2006年。这不仅表明津巴布韦的生育率多年来一直在下降,而且是该地区最低的国家之一。观察到的生育趋势主要是通过使用避孕药具来解释的。避孕患病率为60% 2006年。值得注意的是,即使在津巴布韦面临严重的政治,经济,社会和健康挑战的几年中,避孕药具的摄入量仍在继续增加。这是因为独立后不久在计划生育方案上所做的基础工作为激励妇女避孕奠定了坚实的基础。
