As the basic levels of culture, beliefs play an important role in determining human actions and pave the way for preventing and solving social challenges and problems. Today, child-bearing reduction has been highlighted by population experts as a challenge or problem for Iranian families. One of the solutions to these challenges is correcting and strengthening beliefs about God and his attributes. In the meantime, as one of the manifestations of belief in unity of divine actions, belief in God's all-sustenance plays a prominent role in solving this problem. In this article, an attempt has been made to analyze the demographic implications of beliefs by relying on religious teachings, with an emphasis on divine all-sustenance. Documentary and library methods were used in data collection and descriptive and analytical methods were used in data processing. The findings indicate that the demographic implications of belief in divine all-sustenance can clearly be seen in components such as the exclusiveness of sustenance to God, the certainty of sustenance, God's non-neglect of sustenance, condemnation of killing children, God's sustenance for all beings, the increase of sustenance at the time of forming a family, and the dependence of sustenance on hard work and effort.
