Abstrakt: In this study, cultural, economic as well as certain crucial demo- graphic factors are considered as the determinants for projecting the average family size in rural India. We use the Analytic Hierarchy Process to analyze influences of the factors which enter implicitly in a rural couples decision-making to determine the number of children they want to have as time goes by. We did not attempt to make distinctions among the regional differences in rural India. The outcome projected in our analysis compares favor- ably with the results of other demographic studies.
