Abstract

Time of marriage exerts immediate and direct effects of FERTILITY. Although Iranian women’s age of marriage has gone up in recent years, especially in urban areas, there are also many cases of marriage at relatively low ages. According to 1385 (2006) Iranian census statistics, around 432000 (3.7 percent) urban women who were between 10 to 19 years of age were married at least on time during their lives. Given the fact that early marriage (or marrying at a relatively low age) has direct influence of FERTILITY, this article, using 1385 Population and Housing Census data, aims to study the spatial patterns of the prevalence of such marriages in urban areas of Iran. The index of spatial autocorrelation (Moran) and local indicators of special association (Lisa) were used to show changes and trends and the likelihood of cluster formations. The results showed a negative association between URBANIZATION and early marriage and childbearing and that its spatial distribution across the country followed a random distribution. Correlation analysis results showed that women’s EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT were negatively related to early marriage and childbearing. Regression analysis results showed that young urban girls’ marriages, extent of URBANIZATION, and PERCENT OF ILLITERATE WOMEN, together, could explain about 43 percent of the variance of young urban girls’ FERTILITY.
