High Fertility Countries

High fertility countries are nations where the average number of children born to a woman during her lifetime is significantly above the global average. These countries often have limited access to education, healthcare, and family planning services, which can contribute to higher birth rates. Socioeconomic factors, cultural norms favoring larger families, and lower female labor force participation also play a role. Many high fertility countries are found in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, where challenges such as poverty and less access to contraception impact reproductive choices. Understanding these dynamics is important for addressing global population trends and development issues.
