Abstract: Currently Bangladesh is facing a momentous Rohingya crisis. Population is the main issue of the Rohingya crisis. More than half of the population is dependent and it is increasing fast because of their higher fertility rate. So, to understand their fertility behavior first we have to know their worldview. After a deep understanding of the population’s worldview upcoming schemes on Rohingyas will be successful. The present study attempts to discover the underlying factors that influence the worldview of the Rohingya community regarding their fertility and gender relation. Generally, it seems that religion is the main factor for the fertility behavior of Rohingya. But the study found that religion plays an indirect role in the worldview of the Rohingya community. Survival from extinction, longer family time, culture, security, early marriage, gender discrimination, resistance to contraceptives plays a very important role and have direct impacts on fertility behavior of Rohingyas. Manipulative use of religion, lack of education, less demand from life, living with less support for the above characteristics make the Rohingya Issue much more complicated. And at the end, the social structure of Rohingyas, oppressive government, highly traditional society shapes all characteristics that are responsible for the world view of Rohingya community about fertility. The study is guided by a qualitative research method. The study was conducted based on both primary and secondary data. Case study and FGD are used to collect data.
