Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the determinants (demographic, social, and economic) associated with the fertility level of married Sudanese women working at Al-Neelain University.

Methods: The study utilized a social survey approach with a purposive available sample, with a total of 110 women, including 55 faculty members, 33 staff members, and 22 workers. A questionnaire tool was used for data collection.

Results: There is an inverse relationship between age, education, monthly income, family planning methods, and fertility level for faculty members and staff. However, there is no significant relationship between family planning methods and fertility level for working women. There is also no significant relationship between living arrangements and fertility level for faculty members, staff, and workers, whether they live with their spouses and children, their husbands' families, or their own families.

Conclusion: Demographic, social, and economic determinants, including age at marriage, educational level, income level, and family planning methods, play a significant and influential role in the fertility level of married Sudanese women working at Al-Neelain University (faculty members, staff, and workers).
