Today, it is possible to see women in all the areas of social life. This would not be possible in case of increasing birth rates. Another reason causing birth rates to decline is developments in the family planning methods. Today, couples are more conscious about family planning. They can control the number of children they plan to have thanks to these methods. Governments try to control birth rates because of rapid population growth. The population policies of governments are important factors causing birth rates to decline.
