(Moertningsih,2018). The aim is to identify components that contribute to high fertility in the effort to achieve
demographic dividend. The norms, culture which coloring all life of families. The opinion of the ideal number and
values of children, sex, marital patterns, age of first marriage, and use of contraception as to limit births, which
determine the high fertility. Local government policies are not yet based on conditions of population structure and
achievement of demographic dividend because of their lack of understanding. Need for family planning services

on the use of contraception remain focused on long term method, to involve traditional/religion leaders in program
activities, especially on the value of children, patterns of marriage, young marriage, and optimizing the role of family

Abstract

Total fertility rates in Papua fluctuate and are still high (3.31, 2017 IDHS). Many theories explain fertility is influenced
by direct and indirect factors. Samosir's (2019) proximate determinant analysis of fertility based on the 2017 IDHS
for Papua shows the joint effect of marriage patterns, contraceptive use and effectiveness, breastfeeding infertility
in suppressing natural fertility is the weakest. This study aims to learn the relationship of social, economic,
demographic factors to the proximate determinants of fertility in Papua using 2017 IDHS data and 658 women
age 15-49 as unit analysis. Women aged 20-34 years have a greater chance to get married and have the opportunity
to breastfeed 4 times higher than women at risk. Women with primary educations are 3.1 times more likely to use
contraception than women who have not school. Marriage, duration of breastfeeding for women aged 20-34, use
and effectiveness of contraception in women with primary education have an effect related with decreasing fertility.
The target segmentation needs to pay attention to the age of women 15-49, especially in the promotion of
postponement of marital age, use and effectiveness of contraception, breastfeeding. The intervention pattern of
the fertility control program is adjusted to the intermediate determinant pattern.
