Abstract
The issue of the demographic transition has been one of the principle preoccupations of demographers during the last few decades. As mentioned by some scholars, the omnipresent differentials in the trends and determinants of the transition warrant separate and detailed studies in various regions and countries in order to obtain a better understanding of the issue. In this paper an attempt is made to elaborate on the recent trend of fertility and its determinants in the Islamic Republic of Iran. After a brief introduction to the general demographic characteristics of the country, a discussion is made on fertility limitations in the past and Islamic views on the issue of birth control. Subsequently, the swings in fertility limitation in the last three decades and the determinants of those swings are elaborated.
