“…Results indicated that family affluence is more influential for Chinese students than for German students when thinking about having a child now, in that wealthier Chinese students were less likely to want to have a child than less wealthy Chinese students. Having a partner was associated with a higher child wish in both Chinese and German female students, consistent with past research from the middle (23) and far east (25). Age showed an interesting effect on child wish of female students.…”

“…When asked to list factors in their decision to postpone fertility, women in Italy and Spain name changing norms, increased optimism about fertility, as well as economic and social factors as weighing into their decisions to postpone fertility (22). Women in Iran are more likely to express child wish when they are experience higher social support and are in stable marriages (23). In Poland, women who are reluctant to have children are influenced mainly by emotional factors, and men who do not have children are influenced by childrearing values and expectations of satisfaction.…”

Background: The desire to have children has been declining globally, especially in industrialized nations. This study examines the physical health correlates, and positive and negative mental health correlates of the wish to have a child across time and in two countries.Method: Questionnaire data were obtained from large-scale university samples of 12,574 participants in Germany and China.Results: The wish to have a child (child wish) is related to positive and negative mental health in China and, to a lesser degree, in Germany. Child wish is positively related to some aspects of mental and somatic health for Chinese women and men, negatively to depression for Chinese and German men and Chinese women, and positively to stress for German men, with generally small effects. Effects hold when controlling for age, partnership status, and family affluence. Most relationships were almost equal between women and men (in both China and Germany), and between countries with the exception of two differing paths in each gender group. That is, having a partner is associated with a higher child wish in both Chinese and German female students. In China, older female students are more likely to want to have a child, while older female students in Germany are less likely to want to have a child. Neither partnership nor age predict child wish for the next year. Conclusion.In sum, Chinese students reported feeling more positively about having children when they were happy and healthy, with the exception that highly satisfied Chinese males report lower child wish in the next year. More depressed Chinese and German men and Chinese women reported lowered child wish, and stressed German men reported more child wish. Older students reported more (Chinese) or less (German) child wish depending on country.

“…These beliefs and the values that are intended for them are combined and together, in general, produce a positive or negative attitude toward childbearing. The impact of attitudes on childbearing intention and behavior has been repeatedly demonstrated in both studies conducted in Iran[ 1 8 14 ] and in other countries. [ 9 11 16 21 ] Of course, it should be noted that beliefs and attitudes can be different in various societies and change over time.…”

“…[ 10 ] One of the factors affecting childbearing, especially in Iranian Society, which has been proven in several studies, is social support. [ 13 14 15 ] Therefore, in the present study, we decided to add this concept to the TPB and extend it, and consequently, the extended TPB (ETPB) was used as a conceptual framework for the study.…”

BACKGROUND: Childbearing is the most important determinant of population fluctuations and its studies are more important than other population phenomena. Many factors are associated with childbearing, but individual factors associated with it have been less studied in a specific framework. The present study aimed to explore and identify the factors related to childbearing based on extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted among married women <35 years of age and married men whose spouses were under 35 years of age and lived in the City of Hamadan, Iran, in 2019. The data were collected by semistructured and face-to-face in-depth interviews and continued until the data saturation was reached. Overall, 15 interviews were conducted with 17 people. The data were analyzed, using a directed content analysis approach. RESULTS: The data analysis resulted in the extraction of 28 main codes, 9 subcategories, and 4 themes, which were correspond to constructs of the theory, consisting of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and social support in the field of childbearing. The main predictors were attitude toward childbearing and perceived control. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study showed that ETPB has a potential to explain the intention and behavior of childbearing. The ETPB makes it possible to understand many of the factors associated with childbearing. The results of this study could be the basis for designing appropriate data collection instrument in quantitative studies and vast surveys.

“…Specifically, the effect of age is more robust in the wife's age (Zito & Constantine, 2016). Biologically, age is closely related to fertility in reproductive function, especially in women (Araban, Karimy, Armoon, & Zamani-Alavijeh, 2020).…”

Some tribes in Indonesia have a big family culture. The study aimed to analyze factors that correlate to family size in Indonesia. The study employed secondary data from the 2017 Indonesia’s Demographic and Health Survey. The samples used were 34,353 childbearing age couples. The variables analyzed included type of residence, wealth, marital, cohabitation duration, complete child gender, contraceptive, age of husband-wife, education of husband-wife, and occupation of husband-wife. Final test by binary logistic regression. The results show that couples in urban areas are less likely to have a family size ≤ 4 than couples who live in rural areas. The better the wealth status, the higher the possibility to have a family size ≤ 4. The longer the cohabitation period, the lower the possibility of having a family size ≤ 4. Couples who already have complete child gender were 0.148 times more likely to have a family size < 4 than couples with incomplete child gender. The contraceptives use has a probability of 0.727 times more than those not using it to have a family size ≤ 4. The husband with primary education was 1.242 times more likely than the husband with no education to have a family size ≤ 4. The study found that a wife’s age correlated to family size. Couples with employed wives were 1.273 times more likely than those not employed to have a family size ≤ 4. The study concluded that eight variables correlated to family size among childbearing age couples in Indonesia: residence, wealth, cohabitation duration, complete child gender, contraceptive use, husband’s education, wife’s age, and wife’s employment. AbstrakBeberapa suku di Indonesia memiliki budaya keluarga besar yang sangat kuat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berkorelasi dengan ukuran keluarga di Indonesia. Studi memanfaatkan data sekunder dari Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia tahun 2017. Sampel yang digunakan adalah 34.353 pasangan usia subur. Variabel yang dianalisis meliputi jenis tempat tinggal, kekayaan, perkawinan, lama kohabitasi, kelengkapan jenis kelamin anak, kontrasepsi, umur suami-istri, pendidikan suami-istri, dan pekerjaan suami-istri. Pengujian akhir dengan regresi logistik biner. Hasilnya menunjukkan pasangan di daerah perkotaan lebih kecil kemungkinannya untuk memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4 dibandingkan pasangan yang tinggal di daerah pedesaan. Semakin baik status kekayaannya maka semakin tinggi kemungkinan memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4. Semakin lama kohabitasi maka semakin kecil kemungkinan memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4. Pasangan yang sudah memiliki jenis kelamin anak lengkap kemungkinannya 0,148 kali dibandingkan dengan yang tidak lengkap untuk memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4. Pemakaian alat kontrasepsi memiliki probabilitas 0,727 kali lipat dibandingkan dengan yang tidak menggunakannya untuk memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4. Suami yang berpendidikan dasar 1,242 kali lebih mungkin untuk memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4 dibanding keluarga dengan suami tidak berpendidikan. Usia istri menjadi faktor penentu ukuran keluarga. Pasangan dengan istri yang bekerja 1,273 kali lebih mungkin dibandingkan mereka yang tidak bekerja untuk memiliki ukuran keluarga ≤ 4. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa delapan variabel merupakan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ukuran keluarga pada pasangan usia subur di Indonesia. Delapan faktor tersebut adalah jenis tempat tinggal, status kekayaan, lama kohabitasi, jenis kelamin anak lengkap, penggunaan kontrasepsi, pendidikan suami, usia istri, dan status pekerjaan istri.
