Fertility Intentions

Fertility intentions refer to people's plans or desires regarding having children. They encompass whether individuals or couples want to have children, how many they wish to have, and the timing of starting a family. These intentions can be influenced by various factors, including personal, cultural, economic, and social considerations. Understanding fertility intentions helps researchers and policymakers assess population trends and address issues related to family planning, reproductive health, and support services for families. It provides valuable insights into how societies evolve and the needs of future generations.
