摘要：In this paper, the effects of possible factors on fertility rate which is accepted one of the development indicators of the cities are examined in terms of direct, indirect and the total effects of explanatory variables using Path analysis approach. This paper is based on cross-sectional data of 81 cities in Turkey for 2001. The results indicate that education level, urbanization level, income per capita, and industrialization level of cities have statistical effects on fertility rates of the cities. As the education level, income per capita, and industrialization level increase, the fertility rates decrease in the cities. On the other hand, the urbanization level is positively related to the fertility rates of cities in a given period. However, the direct effect of urbanization level on fertility rate remains positive, the indirect effect is negative. Therefore, the total effect which is the combination of these two effects is negative. Hence, the total effects of explanatory variables on the fertility rate are negative in the cities of Turkey.
