Abstract:
Fertility behavior, based on motivations, decision-making processes, and related attitudes, can be considered as a social behavior that occurs in a social environment. The fundamental question is to what extent and with what mechanisms does changing residence lead to changes in human reproduction and fertility? In response to the above question, researchers have tried to establish a relationship between fertility and migration using various hypotheses. In this regard, there are four important hypotheses or models: migratory disruption, adaptation, selectivity of migrants, and minority group status. Each of these models plays a role in explaining the relationship between migration and fertility. Their strengths and weaknesses depend on the situation in which they are applied. The selection of a suitable theoretical framework depends on the nature of the study, its objectives, the population under study, and the available data.
Machine summary:
In this regard, numerous studies have been conducted in various countries, especially those facing a large volume of international migration, such as the United States and Australia (Bach 1 1981; Carlson 2 1985; Khan 3 1988; Campbell 4 1989; Abbasi-Shavazi 5 1998; Ford 6 1990; Young 7 1991).
In this regard, there are four important hypotheses or models: Migration Disruption 1, Adaptation 2, Migrant Selectivity 3, and Minority Group Status 4.

The effect of migration disruption on fertility has been studied by many researchers (Stephen 1 and Bean 2 1992; Bach 1981; Ford 1990; Carlson 1985; Campbell 1989; Goldstein 3 and Goldstein 1983; Moss 4 and others 1993; Hervitz 5 1985).
Migrants may be a self-selected 1 group who, compared to similar individuals in the origin, have higher or lower fertility even if they do not migrate.
376) in a study of immigrant fertility in Australia, listed four factors through which the fertility behavior of migrants may differ from that of Australians: a) Migrants retain the characteristics of their culture; b) They have a different balance of basic economic and social characteristics compared to non-migrants in the destination; c) Migrants may differ physically from non-migrants; d) The attitude of migrants is influenced by the migration process itself.
Numerous studies have been conducted on the impact of selective bias of migrants on immigrant fertility (Schoorl 3 1990; Khan 4, ibid.
