title: Levels, trends and determinants of female age at marriage in Orissa, 1961-81.
abstract: "The present paper attempts to study the levels, trends and determinants of female age at marriage during 1961-81 in Orissa [India] at district level by residential background.... The result shows...a considerable increase in female age at marriage in each of the two successive decades, 1961-71 and 1971-81.... The variable percentage of female workforce in [the] non-agricultural sector seems to be [a] strong determinant of female age at marriage in Orissa."  Data are from the 1961, 1971, and 1981 Indian censuses.
