Explanation:
The Tokugawa Era was a period of feudalism in Japan from the 1600s to 1893. It was founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu who was crowned as the first Shogun who controlled the whole country.
During this period, the emperor was stripped off from all his executive powers and was confined to the capital. The real powers were transferred in the hands of the Shoguns.
The country under the Shoguns pursued a policy of isolation and trade was monopolized exclusively by the Shogunate.
The Tokugawa era relied solely on its agricultural produce. Position and power of the lords and Shoguns were measured by their agricultural produce. Thus, the whole economy was based on agriculture.
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.
