In 1951 Pakistan ranked at 14th position in the world’s populous countries but with 2.1
percent growth rate it has now become the 5th most high populated country in the
world. The rise in growth rate of population of Pakistan is due to two factors which are
slow fall of crude birth rate which was 45 per thousand in 1960 to only 28.2 per thousand
in 2018 and second factor is low mortality rate. Logistic regression was used to find out
determinants of fertility intentions of ever married women at national and regional level
where dependent variable was a dummy (would you like to give birth to another child or
not) while lot of socio- economic variables like place of residence, education,
employment status & age at marriage were dependent variables. Result indicated that
number of surviving children, age at marriage, contraceptive use of women were found
to be major factors limiting fertility intentions (i-e) desire to have more children in
Pakistan so increasing age at marriage, providing more health and contraception
facilities can reduce fertility levels in Pakistan.
