Social factors influencing fertility tendency among women aged 15–45 in Torbat Heydariyeh County, Iran, 2022. عنوان نشریه. 1403; 4 (1) :54-62
چکیده: (9 مشاهده)
Childbearing behaviors among individuals and families, particularly women, have changed significantly in Iran. Fertility began to decline in the late 1980s. Today, Iran is among countries with low fertility levels. In 1986, the average number of children per mother was six. Currently, this rate has fallen to below replacement level (1.2 children per mother). Demographers note that fertility is influenced by social, economic, political, cultural, and biological factors. In the past, most studies emphasized economic and biological factors while neglecting cultural factors. Given this gap, this survey study investigated sociological factors affecting fertility behavior among women in Torbat Heydariyeh County. The main research question asked which social and cultural factors Iranian researchers have emphasized in explaining fertility decline over the past two decades. The study included married women aged 15–54 years in the county. The sample size was 242, selected via multi-stage random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS. The mean and standard deviation of the belief variable were 20.74 and 2.85, respectively. These results show that religious beliefs positively affect fertility tendency. Women's education level, age at marriage, employment, husband's employment type, marriage duration, income level, and insurance coverage had no effect on fertility tendency. However, residence in lower-income areas of Torbat Heydariyeh County and poor economic status had a significant effect. Overall, high costs and economic issues are not, as commonly perceived, a reason for not having children. Instead, culture and beliefs influence fertility tendency.
