Factors contributing to high fertility rate in Africa

Explanation:

Africa has the highest total fertility rate among world population at around 7.0. This rate is continuously on the high especially in Sub-Sahara regions like Sahel, Niger etc.

Some of the factors which led to this high fertility rates are lack of reproductive health awareness among African men and women, social and personal factors.

Social and personal factors play a major role in the high fertility rates in Africa.

Cultural and religious beliefs, personal desire to have large family or gender preferences, requirement for social security or dependency during old age.

Some consider child birth as a matter of prestige and social respect and honor and going against it will lead to societal disapproval.

These factors along with poor awareness on family planning measures led to high fertility rate in Africa.
