Significance of motives for having a third child for men
%
The question of why men decide to have a third child is investigated by assessing the significance of various factors. Rows list motives, such as improving the family's standard of living or the desire to strengthen family ties, while columns reflect the degree of influence, ranging from uncertain responses to very strong influence. All indicators are presented in percent based on endline survey data

How to read this table
Differences between rows allow for comparison of which specific incentive is more important to respondents: material factors or emotional attachment. Columns show the distribution of responses, from those unable to precisely determine the role of a motive to those whose decision was fully driven by it. This provides insight into the overall priority structure among the men surveyed
What is visible in these numbers
The figures are index or percentage values, so they cannot be added up across rows: each one is measured against its own base.
