Abstract

Family is the main core of society as one of the oldest groups. One of the important factors influencing the economic growth of countries is the size of the population and the birth rate. The issue of population growth is one of the key issues in each country’s socio-economic planning. Therefore, the current study was aimed to investigate the effect of education on awareness and attitudes in the context of demographic change. The method of collecting information is based upon the use of a questionnaire and a combination of systematic randomized and quota sampling. The method of implementation included pre-test, holding a workshop, a pamphlet and a post-test. Furthermore, information analysis was conducted upon the use of T-test, multiple linear regressions and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Results: After analyzing the results and analyzing the questionnaires, it was found that education had a positive effect on the attitude and awareness of the people and the most impact of education was found to be associated with the question of “ cultural poverty on the increase in fertility rates”, where 84% of respondents had stated the high impact of cultural poverty.While this amount reached 98.8% in the post-test.
Conclusion: Education has been effective in increasing the inclination of childbearing in society. Understanding promoting policies enhancing growth can have an impact on the lives of individuals and families. The effect of education on people’s awareness and attitudes regarding the population and fertility policies was consequently confirmed.
