The aim of study was to address the factors influencing landholdings and fertility among women in rural Kenya. The data used are from the 2008–2009 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) of a representative sample size of 6761 women, aged 15–49 years. Statistical tests are utilized to answer the research question, such as Chi-square and logistic regression and P-tests. The results show that the relationship between fertility and landholdings influences family sizes. The relationship between fertility behaviour and occupational status is found to be statistically significant with a P-value of 0.00 and χ 2 of 268.24. A high proportion (68.9%) of the women had worked in the preceding reference period. The result of this study is expected to be of particular use for policy makers, planners and other interested stakeholders in population and development spheres
