In recent decades, Iran has undergone considerable demographic changes. This important fact is manifested by the population growth rate by 3.9 percent from 1355 to 1365 (1976-1986) and population decline rate by 1.29 percent from 1385 to 1390 (2006- 2011). Fertility changes are the most important factor which contributes to explaining the changes in population growth. Regarding the provincial differences in fertility in Iran and the determining role of provincial changes in the future process of fertility, an investigation of the regional, social, economic and demographic features seems necessary for explaining fertility. Using a multi-level analysis method, the present paper mainly seeks to examine the role of provincial features in explaining fertility. The data used in this research are gathered from raw percentile data from a census in 1385 (2006) and are classified into personal and provincial levels.The research findings indicate that the features of provincial level have fixed, random and significant effects on the regression coefficient of personal level in explaining fertility, in such as way that the mean rate of women's fertility is influenced by the fertility of the province and mean age of the women who are subject to fertility. Furthermore, these findings show an important fact, that is, the rate of the effect of women's educational level on fertility in those provinces in which the total mean of the number of children born alive is high, is significantly lower.

Family represents the solid pillar of society. This institution has undergone different structural changes throughout the ages. Every society needs to set down typical indexes for itself in order to be able to choose the proper way, and organize its own social conditions in the changing circumstances. Religious-Islamic texts are replete with the information, through which one can have access to these indexes. This paper tries to have a probing look into the ideal family model. So, attempts have been made to find the rational and traditional evidence concerning this topic. All traditional and rational evidence urges us to follow the third family model although it is more or less similar to a nuclear family.
