Fertility Behaviour of Rural Women in Pakistan illustrates an
anthropological perspective of all social and cultural factors
which affect the ideas, attitudes and beliefs of rural women that
underpin their fertility behaviour and eventually the process of
fertility decline. The principal objective of the research was to
explore the relationship between social norms, individual beliefs
and fertility. The main argument, which emerged from this study, is
that the large family has immense social and cultural significance
for variety of reasons related to status, prestige, income and
security. This study also highlighted this fact that women
subjugated position does not really allow them to effectively
participate in the decision making process with regards to
fertility regulation because of the social constraints and
culturally or traditionally defined norms. Thus, the fertility of a
woman is not actually controlled by her; rather the social
environment in which she lives.
