Abstract

Many factors are related to fertility intention, such as personality and social demography. This research examined the effect of personality traits on fertility intention in Indonesia. In this study, fertility intention is defined as the intention to add another child or not by ever-married women aged 15–49-years-old in 2014. This study used the Indonesian Family Life Survey 2014. Using logistic binary regression to estimate the model, the results showed that personality traits have a significant effect on fertility intention. Extraversion and conscientiousness were associated with lower odds of intending to add children, whereas agreeableness and openness were associated with higher odds of intending to add children.
