SOCIOECONOMIC ASPECT OF REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN DECLINING FERTILITY BEHAVIOR IN TURKEY / Türkiye'de Doğurganlık Davranışının Azalmasında Bölgesel Farklılıkların Sosyoekonomik Boyutu

Abstract

Although the fertility rate in Turkey has decreased in recent years, it continues to differ according to the regions. For this reason in the study, it is aimed to determine the socioeconomic factors that affect the probability of fertility behavior in regions with a fertility rate above the average. In this context, the socioeconomic dimension of fertility behavior was investigated by logistic panel regression analysis using the second level (26 subregions of Turkey) Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics (NUTS2) data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI) for the period 2009-2020. According to the results of the analysis, women's employment rate, per capita gross domestic product, inflation rate and the number of high school graduate women have a negative effect on the probability of fertility behavior in regions with a fertility rate above the average. While the number of women who graduated from college and faculties and the rate of urbanization have a positive effect on the probability of fertility behavior in these regions, the average age at first marriage of women has no effect.
