Question 18

Answer 18

Factor 1: Economic Factors e.g., Cost of raising children
One key factor affecting birth rates in Ireland is the high cost of raising children. Expenses for things like food, housing, education and healthcare can be quite high. Many young couples choose to focus on their careers and financial stability before starting a family.

Factor 2: Social and Cultural Factors e.g., Career Driven

Access to contraception and family planning services also allow couples to decide when and how many children they want to have.
