Explain the relationship between development and fertility rate. Give reasons for this relationship.

s a country develops, fertility rates generally decline due to:

  1. Economic Costs: Higher costs of raising children and increased female labor participation encourage smaller families.
  2. Education and Empowerment: Educated women marry later, prioritize careers, and use family planning, leading to fewer children.
  3. Healthcare Improvements: Lower child mortality and better maternal health reduce the need for large families.
  4. Urbanization: City living and limited space make smaller families more practical.
  5. Social Security: Pension systems reduce reliance on children for support in old age
