Abstract:

Understanding women’s desire to have more children is critical for planning future reproductive health behavior. We examined the association between socioeconomic and demographic factors and fertility preferences among women of reproductive age in Bangladesh demographic and health survey 2007 to 2018. The analysis suggested that approximately 52.9% women of reproductive age in Bangladesh desired more children data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2007 to 2018. Age, residence, religion, highest education level, wealth index, partners education, total number of children ever born, number of living children, currently pregnant and division were found to be significantly associated with fertility preference. We found that the percentage of people who want to get a child is 32.3, and those who don’t want a child is 33. This study concluded that women whose age is lower than 20 these women are more likely to desire more children. On the other hand, women in rural tend to prefer more children.
