stop childbearing. Another tradition is marrying early and have children straight
away.
Education: increasing female literacy lowers fertility. knowledge of birth control,
more opportunity for employment and more choice of lifestyle.

fertility levels drop, as young people still have to find a partner, settle down and
have a family. japan; 14% is under 16 so low no of future births as few women

Religion: Islam and roman catholic oppose contraceptive use. Richer people pay
less attention to this but still faithful.
