Country with low fertility rate



Country with high fertility rate
The country I chose for the low fertility rate was Denmark and the rate was 1.70.
The country I chose for the high fertility rate was Etheopia and its rate was 6.91.
The high fertility rate was high in the younger generations. I feel that this is because the younger age groups are the ones that are having more children because lack of knowledge and because it is the growing trend in population growth. They also are producing more offspring than the death rate. The result of this is going to be a increasingly larger and larger population as time goes on.
The low fertiliy rate was in the middle age groups. I feel that this is because it is the younger generations that are having more children these days than the middle age generations. This is due to the use of contraceptives in the middle age group and more knowledge. Also they are too busy trying to make a living to have children.
Young age groups: careless, bored, unmotivated, lack of knowledge, easily influenced by what is seen on tv, lack morals, worried about social status, not caring, no self worth, no sense of reality and work ethic
Middle age group: hard working, focused, more knowlegable, resposible, caring, busy, changing with the times, laid back, motivated
