| Summary: | The study aimed to investigate factors affecting personal decisions about reproduction among the millennial Thai Muslims in the southernmost border provinces of Thailand. Responses to questionnaires from 1,200 participants were collected, and logistic regression was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that although the need for warmth and security was the main reason for having children, factors such as age, marital status, level of education, monthly income, and health problems were found to account for the decline in the desire for having children. Some respondents expressed anxiety over the expenses of child raising, despite the Child Support Grant scheme of the government. |
