INTRODUCTION A socio-demographic analysis of marriage and family requires conducting deep studies penetrating the essence of the processes among the population. The issue of birth-rate, as a basic factor that determines the reproduction of the population, takes a central position in the demographic studies. The study of the influence of the mothers' reproductive behaviour on their daughters' repro-ductive attitude is of an undisputed interest. This study deals with mothers' realized plans as a factor in their daughters' family planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018 through a direct group anonymous inquiry among 395 female students. The statistical processing of the data was made with descriptive, alternative, correlation and variance analyses. RESULTS The students' reproductive behaviour is statistically significantly dependent on their mothers' realized family plans. Moth-ers' education and the real number of children are statistically significant factors for their daughters' views about the ideal and planned number of children. CONCLUSION This study of the reproductive behaviour of the students advances the knowledge in the field by revealing that it is statisti-cally significantly dependent on their mothers' realized plans.
