Why does the least industrialized nations have many children?

Least industrialized nations often have higher birth rates due to several factors, including limited access to education and family planning resources, cultural norms that favor larger families, and the economic necessity of having more children to support the household. Additionally, high infant mortality rates lead families to have more children as a way to ensure that some survive to adulthood. Lack of women's empowerment and employment opportunities also contribute to higher fertility rates in these regions.
