- Abstract
Although income, child costs, family preferences, are the main factors affecting fertility, factors such as religion, language, age, etc. also affect fertility. The effect of religious belief on the number of children of families, which is one of the factors that affect families' preferences; It is thought to be through norms related to marriage, the use of birth control methods, abortion, desired family size, divorce and gender roles. Some religions have strict rules for the protection of family integrity, and behavior that reduces the number of children, such as divorce and abortion is prohibited. In this context, there are many hypotheses developed for the fertility behavior of individuals with different religious beliefs. These hypotheses are the characteristics hypothesis, the particularized theology hypothesis, the minority group status hypothesis and the interaction hypothesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the fertility of people with Muslim, Christian and Jewish religious beliefs using the data regression model using the World Values Survey 2010-2014 data. According to the findings obtained from this study, there are differences in fertility in terms of religious beliefs. In addition, the interaction hypothesis is valid in the Muslim and Christian religious beliefs because both religion and socio-economic variables are effective on fertility.
