BACKGROUND: Population policies and programs around the world are considered as the basis for socio-economic' development. Demographic data in recent years show that Iran has faced a marked decrease in fertility, which makes it inevitable to take emergency measures and plan properly to increase childbearing. A significant point in this field is the basic role of the health system and universities of medical sciences. Therefore, it seems necessary to formulate and present the framework for the correct implementation of population increase policies. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This study endeavors to provide a comprehensive analysis of executive policies related to population growth and to present a proposed framework in a qualitative manner using the General Implementation Framework method in three phases. Initially, a conceptual review study will be conducted to determine the current situation. Then, the process of implementing a population growth policy in Iran is identified in two stages. In the second phase, using semistructured interviews, the challenges of the population growth policy implementation for Iran will be identified. In the last phase, the initial framework of the population increase policy implementation process has been explained, and finally, this framework will be validated and finalized through the Delphi technique. DISCUSSION: Due to the decrease in Iran’s population growth rate and the concern of population aging, the complete stop of the population control policy, the growth of births, and the increase of childbearing have been put on the agenda. However, in Iran, despite the existence of different policies and directives at micro and macro levels regarding population and policies related to it, there is no unanimity in the implementation of policies on this subject.
