초록
In this paper, a path analysis was carried out to identify social-structural determinants of regional fertility. As a result, urbanization appeared to affect on marriage behavior and fertility through altering age structure, distribution of educational attainment and jobs among the population at the regional level. Thus, the population, size and structure, appeared to be determined not only by the natural factor, fertility birth rate, but also by social-structural factors(education, job) of the region. Accordingly, to modify of alter the population for sustainable socio-economic development of the region, the strategies should take into considerations the societal structure of the region.
