In recent years, household size has undergone a plunging trend. Social, economic, cultural and structural changes in society affected household size through proximate determinates such as the age of marriage, marital patterns, fertility, mortality, divorce, and widowhood. The primary purpose of this research is to determine the proximate and socioeconomic factors of the household size determinants. This research has been performed by using the data from census in 396 townships of Iran in 2011. Among the Iranian townships, the average household size changed from 4.8 members in 1996 to 3.5 members in 2011. Also, the average household size varies considerably between the privacies of the country, from 6.6 in the province of Kangan to 2.9 in the province of Taleghan. Path analysis shows that fertility reduction is one of the most critical factors in reducing the size of the household. The average age of marriage decreased somewhat after fertility control. Fertility, the average age of marriage and unemployment have a direct relationship with household size. On the other hand, the indicators of modernization and employment of women have an inverse relationship with household size. Fertility has the most positive association (β = 0.61) and modernization has the most inverse association (β = 0.41) with household size.

Demographic changes can affect all facets of development, including gender equality, as one of the main components of development. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between changes in population composition and gender equality in Iran during 1956-2011. The relationship is studied with a descriptive-analytical approach using secondary data and time-series models at national level. The data was obtained from Statistical Center of Iran’s population time series and various censuses’ data. Findings suggest that Composite Gender Equality Index improved considerably during the study period, and urbanization, age structure of the population, as well as women’s average age at marriage, significantly affected the composite index of gender equality. Besides, AR (1) and MA (2) components of the fitted Arima model have expectedly shown significant effect on the gender equality’s variations. Three independent variables, aggregately accounted for 33 percent of gender equality’s variance during the study period.

The main objective of this paper is to study the trends of women’s age at marriage and socio-economic factors influencing it during the years 1976‌2006 at the province level in rural and urban areas. First, the theories and background of the subject were reviewed. Then, the censuses of the years 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006 were used and through SPSS software, relevant indicators were estimated. Multiple regression analysis was carried out to analyze the socio-economic determinants of the mean age at first marring for women. The results show that women’s mean age at marriage increased more than one year in urban and rural areas during the last three decades. In addition, there were no considerable differences between women’s mean age at marriage in urban and rural areas. Some of the most important influential factors during the last three decades are unemployment rate, women’s economic participation rate, higher education rate and literacy rate.
