Establishing general laws and regulations on the subject of population in accordance
with demographic conditions and based on the requirements of “general population
policies” (2014) is one of the priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, it is
essential for the set of laws and regulations to be modified and updated according to
Demographic conditions and characteristics. The appropriate indicators of legislating
population and childbearing policies should be identified in order to achieve the desired
population system. This goal will not be achieved unless Demographic laws and regulations
of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Government pathologically be reviewed from the
beginning of the Islamic Revolution until now. The necessity of the present research is
in this regard that the demographic and childbearing policies are very important in the
realization of the government’s development plan and are one of the components of
authority, national power and the strength of the system. In addition, the government of
the Islamic Republic of Iran has faced contradictions in adopting demographic policies
and laws which is due to the lack of certain indicators in the legislation of population
policies and the inattention to the floating issue of population at different times and
places. Thus, the authors seek to answer the question in a descriptive and analytical
manner: “Given the pathology of the legislative system in the field of population,
which indicators can meet the goals of population policies?” With the pathology of the
current population laws and policies, it will be revealed that the country’s population
system has been damaged; therefore, in order to get out of this situation and achieve a
favorable demographic system, the government must reduce the legislator’s error rate
by considering indicators in legislating demographic policies To be able to achieve its
demographic goals while the laws are effective and efficient. Among the most important
indicators identified for legislating population policies are public interests, attention to
upstream documents and its effectiveness in relevant laws and regulations, regionalism
and attention to population quality and focus on the principle of proportionality.
