Abstract: Abstract The parish register data suggest that in Ovamboland in northern Namibia there was both a clear decline and an increase in fertility during the period 1930–85 (Figure 8.1). There was an increase in fertility during the 1930s in Ovamboland, but this was probably because the follow-up only started from the year 1925, there were few women in older age groups, and the calculations were not reliable during the first years of follow-up. Based on the general fertility rate, we can suppose that fertility was on a quite stable level between 1925 and 1935 in Ovamboland.
