Factors affecting women fertility decline in Sudan as perceived by sudanese demographers

This study aimed to identify the factors affecting fertility decline in Sudan from the viewpoints of Sudanese demographers. It depended on primary data collected from Sudanese demographers. The study adopted descriptive statistics. The study revealed a relative fertility decline in Sudan. The important factors affecting Sudanese women fertility are delaying the age of marriage, increasing migration rates, increasing the average of age at the first marriage, increasing the level of women education, and employing women. The lowest contributing factors affecting fertility decline are high rates of divorce, female's nutrition, and abortion. In addition, the study found that there is no significant difference between respondent's means according to gender and academic position. The study recommends that more attention is needed to be provided to women education along with increasing their participation in work, which contributes to the reduction of fertility.
