The education of women and women's employment are both the most
important factors which affect fertility and family size. Most previous
research concentrates attention on the education of woman and how it affects
family size. This research concentrates on studying the relationship between
women’s labor force participation and average family size in the province of
Aleppo which is located in the Syrian Arabic Republic to determine about how
women's employment affects family size and childbearing behavior because of
the great importance of studying such demographic phenomenon. This study
relied on the results of questionnaire which was designed for this purpose
and includes a sample of employed married women in 2011. These results
show an inverse relationship between woman participation in economic
activity and the average number of children in the family. Also these results
show an inverse relationship between their income and their education level,
or qualification, the number of daily hours worked and type of occupation or
activity that are practiced by women from one side and average number of
children in their families on the other side.
Finally, a set of proposals and recommendations were affered to improve
the status of employed women in Aleppo in order to have the ability to cope
with their duties inside and outside the house.
