Q

The number of births per 1000 woment per year

A

The lower the number of births per women the more developed the country will be because there is a low infant mortality rate and women do not need to have “extra” children to ensure some service. Subsistance farmers need a big workforce and having a high birth rate provides farmers with a workforce. Contraception is widely availble and family planning cliincs allow women to plan for a baby.
