Population growth in developing countries is high primarily because of the availability of resources that are made available by countries trying to invest in these developing countries, such as medical clinics.
The birthrate in most of developing countries is higher than in developed ones. Here are some reasons :
Women have little control over their lives. They don't always have access to birth control.
Less developed countries depend on farming, and to do that, families need more children to work in the farms. The more children you have, the more workers you'll have.
Abortion is not readily available.
Religious and/or cultural point of views encourage more children.
Sad but true, in many cultures, boys are valued more than girls, so the couples who start off with girls will keep having babies until they have a boy.
