After the revolution, the population increased due to the abandonment of birth control policies that were on the agenda during the Pahlavi era. And then, and especially in the Iran-Iraq war, and to prevent the growing population and the potential for war damage to the country’s demographic body, birth control policies are put back on the agenda. The ideal of births and reducing its proportion did not change and the country was built in previous periods by reducing birth rates. Gender roles in fertility have not been considered.

One category of the present study is the relationship between these three aspects in population policy in Iran. In order to reach strategies for policy-making in the field of population in the future, the path taken by examining the characteristics of gender differences, analysis and analysis is needed.
