Study Notes

Factors Affecting Birth and Fertility Rates

Average Level of Education and Wealth
- Higher education and wealth correlate with lower birth and fertility rates, particularly in More Developed Countries (MDCs).
Children as Family Labor Force

Urbanization

High Costs of Raising Children
- In MDCs, the financial burden of raising and educating children contributes to lower birth and fertility rates, as families prioritize quality over quantity.
Education and Employment Opportunities for Women
- Limited access to education for women is linked to higher birth and fertility rates; enhancing education and job opportunities tends to decrease these rates.
