Many women living in developed countries with great opportunities do not seek to have children. However, in developing countries, the situation is quite the opposite, women give birth, and families very often have more than one child. Thus, although women from developed countries tend to start a family, they are not as likely to have children as women from developing countries.
Question
In Africa, the birth rate is at a fairly high level, and now it has become a rather acute problem. It is likely that the pregnancy there is unwanted or unintentional. None of the major international fertility databases contains a systematic worldwide collection of data on fertility preferences (Stone). Since developing countries are often countries with a low standard of living, there is a problem of reducing the birth rate.
Solution
To sum up, in developing countries, where access to and information about contraceptives is limited, women have children and, as is often the case, more than one. In order to prevent a high birth rate, it is necessary to conduct educational work, for example, by volunteers. Moreover, to give access to contraception, and as far as possible to make them free or very cheap. Furthermore, the heads of developing countries need to think through a policy of reducing the birth rate.
