Factors influencing the likelihood of a person having children
Fertility factors are determinants of the number of children that an individual is likely to have. Fertility factors are mostly positive or negative correlations without certain causations .
Factors associated with increased fertility include the intention to have children,[ 1] remaining religiosity ,[ 2] general inter-generational transmission of values,[ 1] high status of marriage [ 3] [non-primary source needed ] and cohabitation ,[ 4] [non-primary source needed ] maternal[ 5] and social[ 1] support, rural residence,[ 1] a small subset of pro-family social programs ,[ 1] low IQ [ 6] such as conscientiousness, and generally increased food production.[ 7]
Factors generally associated with decreased fertility include rising income ,[ 1] value and attitude changes,[ 8] [ 1] education,[ 1] [ 9] female labor participation ,[ 10] population control ,[ 11] age,[ 12] contraception ,[ 1] partner reluctance to child-bearing,[ 1] infertility,[ 13] pollution ,[ 14] and obesity .[ 15]
