Abstract

This study investigates into the relationship between family system, fertility rate, family size and women education using primary data from 500 participants and employing various statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics correlation matrix and multiple regression analysis. A questionnaire survey was used for collection of data. The regression analysis reveals significant negative relationships between family system, fertility rate, and family size with women's education. It implies that women's education enhances the household economic well-being. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the cultural barriers hindering women's educational attainment, particularly in contexts where larger family sizes and traditional family systems prevail.
