چکیده
کاهش میزان باروری در ایران به ­عنوان یکی از چالش‌های مهم گذار جمعیت شناختی مطرح است. در این ­میان، بررسی الگوهای باروری در مناطق مختلف کشور از جمله مناطق روستایی سیستان، می‌تواند به شناخت بهتر عوامل مؤثر بر این پدیده کمک کند. پژوهش حاضر با هدف شناسایی و تحلیل عوامل مؤثر بر تمایل به تعدد فرزندآوری در خانواده‌های روستایی سیستان انجام شد. داده‌های میدانی مورد نیاز مطالعه از روش پیمایشی (پرسش­نامه و مشاهده مستقیم) در سال 1403 جمع‌آوری شد. نمونه آماری تحقیق را تعداد 105 زن و مرد 65- 18 ساله روستاهای سیستان تشکیل داده ­اند که به ­صورت تصادفی انتخاب شدند. نتایج نشان داد که در بعد اقتصادی، تأثیر افزایش سطح درآمد و اشتغال مردان به ترتیب با ضریب 4.58 و 2.12 و در بعد اجتماعی، تمایل به فرزندآوری بیشتر و تأثیرگذاری شرکت بیشتر زنان و مردان در آیین‌های مذهبی به ‏ترتیب با ضریب 4.36 و 3.45 بر نگرش و تمایل به افزایش تعدد فرزندان به­ طور معنی‌داری اثرگذار است. همچنین بر اساس نتایج، حد مطلوب تعداد فرزندان از دیدگاه زنان و مردان روستایی پنج فرزند است به ‏طوری­ که بالاتر از آن والدین تمایلی به فرزندآوری ندارند. همچنین سن با ضریب 0.7 و شاغل بودن زنان با ضریب 2.12 به ­عنوان متغیرهای پیش‌بینی‌کننده با تأثیر منفی برای داشتن چهار فرزند یا بیشتر عمل می‌کنند.

Abstract
Introduction
The declining fertility rate in Iran poses a significant demographic challenge. Understanding fertility patterns in different regions, particularly rural areas like Sistan, can shed light on the factors influencing this trend. This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic and cultural factors influencing family size and migration in rural Sistan. Data was collected through questionnaires and direct observation from 105 randomly selected women and men aged 18-65 in Sistan villages in 2023. Statistical analysis using logistic regression models revealed that higher income levels and male employment were associated with a higher number of children. Religious beliefs and practices also played a significant role in fertility decisions, while age and female employment were negative predictors for having more children.
 Materials and Methods
This descriptive study collected data through questionnaires covering economic and sociocultural dimensions.
Results and Discussion
The study investigated the relationship between income levels, male and female employment, and fertility rates in rural Sistan. The findings highlighted the complex interplay between these factors and their impact on population trends.
Conclusions
The analysis showed a positive correlation between income levels, male employment, and fertility rates. Religious beliefs and practices were also influential in family size decisions. However, women's age and employment were negatively correlated with having more children. Addressing these factors is crucial to prevent population decline and sustain rural communities in Sistan.
