Abstract (2. Language): 
Our aim in this study is to explore the dynamics of age-pattern of childbearing and risk fertility among Bangladeshi women. By using age-specific fertility rates of 21 age schedules from 1986 to 2006 contribution of early, on time and delayed childbearing on total fertility rates are studied and time trend behavior of risk fertility is observed. Our study explored that the level of early childbearing seems to be stagnant over the years. The decrement of the high-risk fertility is due to the decrease of total fertility rates, however, the contribution of early childbearing to the total fertility rates is unchanged and contribution of early childbearing to the high-risk fertility is more influential than the delayed childbearing. The ratio of risk-birth is plateau at the same level even after twenty years. Possible policies to reduce the risk-birth are also discussed in this paper.
