Abstract

This research aims to study the direct and indirect effects of social capital forming sub-dimensions on fertility seen from number of children ever born (CEB) through the practice of family planning by applying path analysis with generalized structural equation modeling (GSEM) method. The formation of sub-dimensional variables of social capital is performed by using factor analysis, forming 7 (seven) factors, i.e. participation in group, social network, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, collective action, trust and reciprocity. The control variables are urban status, education level, work status and age. This research uses the National Socio-Economic Survey in 2014 for Indonesian, with the analysis unit of women aged at 15-54 years who have ever married. The result of the analysis shows that sub-dimensions of social capital and control variables have direct and indirect effects on fertility from CEB through the practice of family planning of ever married woman aged 15-54 years. Older and higher educated women have the highest total effect, followed by the low religion tolerance and high network
