%X This study assesses the contribution of socio-economic and demographic variables on children ever born (CEB) for women who have experienced domestic violence and women who have not experienced domestic violence by applying multiple classification analysis (MCA). The shrinkage coefficient () is employed for goodness of fit of the model. For this, Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2007 data is used in this study. This study contains 10,146 currently married women out of 10,996 ever-married women. Findings reveal that respondent¡¯s education, age at marriage and wealth index has a negative significant effect on CEB and these are the first, second and third strongest influential factors for explaining the variability of CEB included all other variables for both women who have experienced domestic violence and women who have not experienced domestic violence. In this paper, it is recommended that respondent¡¯s age at marriage and educational qualification should be raised substantially for abating fertility and domestic violence against women in Bangladesh.
