ABSTRACT
This study aims to identify and determine the effect of purchasing power, female labor force participation rates (wLFPR), and contraception against fertility between regency/municipalities in Riau Province. The analytical tool used is panel data regression using the Random Effect Model. Based on the data processing results, the highest fertility was in Rokan Hilir Regency, and the lowest was Siak Regency. Econometric results show that purchasing power and contraceptives positively and significantly affect fertility. In contrast, the female labor force participation rate has a negative and significant impact on fertility in the regency/municipality of Riau Province.
Keywords: Contraceptives; Female Labor; Fertility; Panel Data; Purchasing Power.
