Africa sees high rates of fertility and the reason for this has been linked to D.  Women having fewer educational and economic opportunities in developing African countries.

Most African countries are classified as still developing and as a result, women generally have lower educational and economic opportunities than women in developed countries.

This contributes to them having more children because:

  • Lower education means that they do not know enough about birth control and family planning
  • Lower economic opportunities means that they are usually home which increases the chances of them getting pregnant.

In conclusion, the fewer educational and economic opportunities availed to women in Africa means that they give birth more.
