Abstract

The objective of this research work is to analyze the relationship between fertility and the educational level of Ecuadorian women. For this, information from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT) carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) in 2018 is used. The methodology used is Poisson regression because the data are cross-sectional. cross-sectional and the dependent variable is a count variable. Applying the proposed methodology, it was found that women's education has a negative influence on fertility, that is, as women's educational level increases, the expected number of children would decrease. With respect to the control variables, the following variables were used: area, region, ethnicity, marital status, work, sexual information, family planning and head of household, were significant and provide information about fertility behavior. This work is developed as follows: first, there is the theoretical framework where a review of theories and previous studies on fertility is carried out to raise the hypothesis. Secondly, a case study is carried out for Ecuador. Afterwards, the data is described, the methodology is detailed in the next section, and finally, the results and conclusions are presented in the last section.
