This research report attempts to study the attitudes and behavior related to the fertility in the future. The desired family size and gender of children, which reflect social and cultural influences, are measured and analyzed by using Coombs's scales. The data are from the survey of Social Attitudes 1988, which was collected by the National Statistical Office, and a new survey which was collected by the Institute of Population Studies. The results show that most of the respondents still desire 2-3 children and desire both genders. Even controlling for various socio-economic variables such as education, occupation, income, and region of residence, we found that the people who have high social and economic status tend to have a lower desired family size; however, most people still want 2 children. Considering different regions we found only Upper North has a trend for the desired size to be below the replacement level.
