The population continues to grow at a rate of 2.7 and fertility rates remain at 4.6. Fertility is one of the three key aspects in shaping population dynamics, as women's fertility intention for children play a significant role in determining actual fertility rates. In addition, it can be an instructive tool for discovering more about overall fertility patterns, which is important for understanding future reproductive behaviors. In women, fertility intention refers to their preferences regarding the number of children they wish to have in the future, considering factors such as the costs and benefits associated with childbearing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study used cross-sectional data from Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia (PMA-ET) 2020.The hypothesis tested in this analysis was adapted and used TPB constructs as a guiding behavioral theoretical model. The study included 3916 women aged 15-49 years who were not pregnant. Frequencies and percentages were commuted to characterize women. Chi-square tests were conducted to evaluate associations and assess sample cell size adequacy across categories. Multilevel binary logistic regression statistical modeling was employed to identify important factors influencing women's fertility intention. The findings were reported in terms of percentages and odds ratios, with 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was established at a significance level of 0.05.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Three-quarters 74.9% (95% CI; 72.5%-77.1%) of married reproductive-aged women in Ethiopia intended to have a/another child. Women who reported having a forced pregnancy by partner, Muslim and Protestant religion, 19 years and above old at first sex, and secondary or higher education were found to increase the likelihood of fertility intention to have a child. However, women who reported 30 years of age or older, had three or more live births, had a family size of five or more members, had a moderate family planning (FP) knowledge, positive subjective social norm towards FP and living in Addis and Dire Dawa were found to have lower odds of women's fertility intention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The prevailing strong intention for high fertility in Ethiopia delays efforts to quickly decrease fertility and calls for implementation of multifaceted strategies that maintain high fertility intention rates.

Awareness of these influencing factors is crucial for designing fertility programs and policies tailored to demographics strategies.
