摘要

The desire for more children is very important for population and family planning program. It helps us to know the fertility pattern and understand the population dynamic. This study aimed to identify the impact of family planning program, socioeconomic factors, and modernity on the desire to have more children. The data used were derived from the results of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017 focusing on specific target which were women at safe motherhood age of 20–29 years who had two or more children. The dependent variable was the fertility preference, while the independent variables were socioeconomic, program, and modernity variables. The data were analyzed using the binary logistic regression. The results of the study indicate that women aged 20–29 years with two or more children who lived in urban areas and who had some secondary or higher education were less likely to want more children than other women. Higher odds of wanting more children among women aged 20–29 years with two or more children was associated with obtaining family planning information from the internet and the socio-economic variables and modernity cause young mothers still think of having more.
