Title

Gender Preference and its Influence on Fertility Intention in the low-Fertility Context of Tehran, Iran

Pages

  1962-1970

Abstract

 Background & aim: A number of studies have addressed the positive effects of parental Gender Preferences for children on fertility in Iran. However, new demographic situations have left two questions unanswered: whether parents demonstrate Gender Preferences for children in a modern low-fertility society and if so whether such a preference is a strong predictor of the probability of having another child. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 450 married men and women residing in Tehran, Iran in 2014. The Data collection tool included a selfstructured questionnaire entailing a demographic information form, Fertility Intention, and Gender Preference-related data. The data were analyzed in SPSS Software (version 24) using cross tabulation estimation and logistic regression. Results: 22. 2% of men and 17. 11% of women were reported to be in favor of having daughter, while 12. 9% of men and 14% of women preferred son. Moreover, Gender Preference was found to have no significant effect on Fertility Intention. However, the women with same-sex children were 3. 17 times more likely to desire another child, compared to those who have different Sex Composition (OR=3. 178, P value= 0. 000). Furthermore, the men in the age groups of ≤ 30 and 31-40 desired to have another child, compared to older men. Conclusion: While a preference for son is rooted in Iranian culture, a new Gender Preference is emerging with a strong tendency toward having a girl. However, Gender Preference was not a driving force in the continuation of fertility in the context of low fertility of Tehran.
