Introduction

• Fertility Rate (Birth rate) This is the ratio
  of live births in one area to the population of
  that area (per 1000 population per year)
• Morality Rate (Death rate) This is the ratio of
  deaths in one area to the population of that area
  (per 1000 per year)
• Ways Fertility rate is measured
• Crude Birth Rate
• General Fertility Rate
• Age specific fertility rate (15-19 years)
• Total Fertility Rate
• The fertility rate relates to population growth
  because the newly born children
• add to the population where as the deaths
  decrease the population. Then when
• you have more births then deaths the population
  will keep on rising. So if you
• have a higher birthrate you are going to have a
  higher population in a mile².

Economic Factors for each Country

• Afghanistan
• Has many minerals and resources natural gas,
  petroleum, coal, copper, chromite, talc, barites,
  sulfur, lead, zinc, iron ore, salt, precious and
  semiprecious stones
• Afghanistan's economy has improved over the last
  two years from over 2billion US dollar donations
  to the country from other countries
• The country lacks up-to-date medical, education,
  electricity and has shortages in jobs.
• Poor families need to have more children for jobs
  and help with the farms.
• China
• Since 1978 - moved from centrally planned economy
  to more of a mixed economy
• GDP has quadrupled
• Was MORE of and LEDC before 1970s - higher
  fertility rates
• Since then, very high economic growth rates, more
  people working - lesser fertility rate
• India
• LEDC/MEDC - High fertility rate.
• High economic growth, more people working, less
  fertility rate than before.
• United Kingdom
• MEDC - Follows the characteristics of one
• Ageing population
• More working population, low birth rates.
• More women working, no time for children.

8
Social Factors for each Country

• Another factor may be income as in most cases
  people may not be able to support the weight of
  children, however in LEDCs they may simply have
  lots of children to help work and they will
  usually not be educated and very little money
  will be spent on them. Unlike in MEDCs the more
  children you have the more expensive it gets as
  you have to pay for much more like schooling
  clothing and such.
• Increase in womans status over the countries
  development are cultural factors, also the age at
  which people now marry and have children is ever
  increasing
• Education is key because educated women are more
  likely to know what social, community, and health
  services, including family planning, are
  available and to have the confidence to use them.
  However in places such as LEDCs this may not be
  available

9
Cultural Factors for each Country

• Generally, the age at which a woman first marries
  is directly related to the number of children she
  will bear because it affects the length of time
  she will be at risk of becoming pregnant this may
  be cultural or a social factor, as women may be
  forced to marry young due to their culture and
  they may simply marry later due to the social
  factors
• Women's access to education, health care, family
  planning and employment all affect family size
  but in places such as LEDCs this may not be
  available or not allowed due to cultural facts
• Another cultural factor may be the use of
  contraception as possibly some religions may not
  believe in this, tying in with this would be the
  use of abortion many cultures despise this and
  women may be forced to have children.

10
Political Factors for each Country

• Afghanistan
• Recent wars may effect fertility rate
• Attacks on the country as well
• China
• One Child Policy - Less fertility rate

11
Conclusion

• From this we have found that all of these factors
  do affect the countries growth.
• In an MEDC country the fertility rate is lower
  then that in an LEDC.
• Life expectancy in MEDC is much Higher.
