Subject: To study the relation between fertility and under five Moroccan children's well-being.

Abstract: Statistical data come from the ENPSF-2011[1] and RGPH-2014. Individual information about under five children's coming from the ENPSF-2011 transformed in municipal indicators. Then they coupled with those of the RGPH-2014 in order to generate the indicators of children's well-being. These last submitted among others at the ACP.

Results: The resident children in urban municipalities have a better chance to enjoy a greater level of well-being. The coexistence of all sorts of well-being in the same municipalities is not evident. The well-being of children and fertility measured by the ISF and the average parity of women 45 to 49 years of age progress in two opposite directions. The well-being of the household positively affects the well-being of children. However, the more illiteracy was raging in municipality the more well-being of children was uncertain. This conclusion change by the percentage of children 7 to 12 years of age in full-time education: the higher it is the well-being of children increase.

Conclusion: Existence of some correlation between the under five children's well-being and fertility.
