Abstrak
The number of children is assumed to be one of the factors influencing family welfare. In Banggai Village, most heads of households work in the informal sector with unpredictable incomes, while the number of dependent children varies. This study aims to analyze the effect of the number of children on family welfare in Banggai Village, Duruka District, Muna Regency. A quantitative associative approach was employed to examine the relationship and influence between variables. The study sample consisted of 79 heads of households, with data gathered through observation and questionnaire distribution. Data were analyzed using Ordinal Logistic Regression. The results showed that the number of children significantly affected family welfare. The Model Fitting Information test yielded a Chi-Square value of 26.073 (p < 0.001), indicating that the overall regression model is fit and statistically significant. The Nagelkerke R-Square value of 0.312 demonstrates that the number of children explains 31.2% of the variance in family welfare levels, while the remaining 68.8% is influenced by other factors outside the model. Parameter Estimates further reveal that a higher number of dependent children leads to a greater likelihood of a family being at a lower welfare level.
