Abstract
In the last recent years, the relationship between women's education and the total fertility rate has been analysed.
The third highest populated city of Turkey is Izmir and the relationship between education and TFR of its districts have been analyzed in this research. The need of a general country and international comparison is necessary as well as a regional and lower-region analysis.
The 2011 statistics of Izmir's thirty district has been taken from the TFR Public Health Department. The research included the age groups of women of 15-49 and with a total of 48.192 births.
The 2011 education statistics has been taken from the Turkey Statistics Department. The 15-49 age group has been divided into five groups: illiterate, literate but has not graduated from a school, primary, secondary and higher education.
The districts with high education levels have a lower TFR rate than the average district rate.
According to the average there is one city whose TFR is high and two districts whose education level and TFR are low; these should be analyzed with different factors.
Another factor that has stemmed from this research is that the previous generation's education level had an affect on TFR.
