Abstract

This study examines the effect of education, employment, and income on reproductive attitudes and behavior of United Arab Emirates married women. A sample of 1030 married women from the country's seven Emirates were selected and interviewed by female researchers. To achieve the study's objectives, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Although it is found that the effect of education, employment, and income on reproductive attitudes and behavior is more complicated than previously thought in the literature, the results indicate no significant effect of education, employment and income on respondents' reproductive attitudes and behavior.
