“…Regarding the significant causes of the decline in fertility, table 2 again reports a significant association between small family size with the statements that working women usually marry at a later age (P=0.000), labor force participation empower them to make decisions regarding family size (P=0.002), they are more concerned about their job than the size of the family (P=0.001), they do not have sufficient time to look after their children especially the large family (P=0.000), and the female role has been changed from childbearing to contribute in family income (P=0.017). Same were the findings of (Kaboudi et al 2013;Schuler et al 2006;Ronsmans et al 2006).…”

This study examines the association between female employment and small family size trends. This study based on primary data follows a cross-sectional study design. The study's data were collected from 384 respondents of District Peshawar's six communities through a comprehensive per-tested questionnaire/interview schedule, the association between the study variables was obtained through the application of chi-square test statistics. The association between the variables depicted that women are moving towards the labor force due to inflation, which has empowered them to decide the family size, marry late and adopt a small female size. Furthermore, the labor force participation has pushed females to concentrate more on careers than the large family size, which gives them little time to take care of family, especially the larger one; consequently, they opt for small family size. The study provides a sociological insight to those concerned with the field of demography

INTRODUCTION: It is universally acknowledged that strengthen the participation rate in breast cancer (BC) screening can find cancer in its earlier stages. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of regular visits to the health centers on women's knowledge and attitude about BC screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, data were collected from 380 women identified with Kurdish background, who were registered in health care centers of Islamabad-e Gharb during January and February 2017. The subjects were divided into two regular and irregular groups based on the quantity of presence in health centers. Data on women's awareness and attitude about BC screening were collected by a trained interviewer using a structured questionnaire. Bivariate analysis, analysis of variance, and independent sample t -test were used to see the mean differences within the groups. The level of confidence was set at 0.05 significant. RESULTS: Women were representative of four health-care centers of the city, mainly ≤39 years old (73.9%), married (96.3%), with high school education (44.2%) characteristics. The total mean ± standard deviation of awareness score about BC was 6.03 ± 3.90. In total, 19.2% of participants had poor (<2.13), 64.2% had an average (2.13–9.93), and 16.6% had good (>9.93) awareness about BC. The results showed that the level of knowledge and attitude about BC screening was significantly different between regular and irregular groups ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: An important message from this study is the need for improved and coordinated BC education for all social classes of women. It is necessary to discover ways to encourage women with academic education to visit health centers regularly during interventional studies.

Introduction: Reducing childbirth rates is a serious problem in some countries. Iran is one of the countries experiencing a decrease in the fertility rate, with a more than 50% decrease in avery’s child statistics. Objective: This study aimed to determine childbearing desire and its related factors among married women. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 550 women aged 15 to 49 referring to comprehensive health centers in Rasht City were selected by multi-stage random sampling. Information was collected using a questionnaire consisting of three parts. The audience was asked about their willingness to have children in the personal and social profile section, the fertility information section, and the third section that to detect degree of desire to have children. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square and logistic regression were used to investigate the factors affecting the reluctance to have children. Results: The results of the research showed that the mean age of the women, the spouse, the age at marriage, and the duration of their marriage were 31.57±6.2, 35.69±6.6, 22.42±4.52, and 9.05±6.5 years, respectively and 54.9% of women were currently willing to have children. The relationship between unwillingness to have children was significant regarding the husband’s age (OR=1.112, 95% CI, 1.050%-1.177%, P=0.001). Also, the relationship between reluctance to have children and the age at marriage was not significant; however, it became significant with the length of marriage (OR=1.090, 95% CI, 1.019%-1.167%, P=0.013). The relationship between unwillingness to have children and the women’s opinion about the desired number of children was significant (OR=8.101, 95% CI, 3.518%-18.654%, P=0.001). The relationship between unwillingness to have children and the number of current children was significant (OR=16.515,95% CI, 8.293%-32.888%, P=0.001). Conclusion: Our analysis showed that the inability to accept the responsibility of being a parent is one of the reasons why people postpone childbearing to the fourth decade of life and even beyond. Detailed studies are needed to correct the current trend of population decline.
