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.

Greeley [361]
Hi there,
Speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second (the exact speed depends on the depth of water and its density) and the speed of sound in air is approximately 340 meters per second. So sound is almost 4.4 times faster in water than in air. I hope this helped :)

How would exercising, sleeping well, eating healthy foods, and receiving recommended vaccines affect a person's immunity?
VladimirAG [237]

D. The body will be able to produce the antibodies and memory cells needed to fight disease and recover quickly.  Exercise and vitamin C is what creates antibodies and white blood cells that fight diseases. Plus exercise can clear the lungs of any dangerous germs that can cause illness like a cold or flu. And sleeping well and resting would remove any kind of stress one would receive from exercising.
