    The document discusses factors that influence birth rates and how each factor would impact birth rates. It states that implementing compulsory education for children would decrease the birth rate as children would be in school instead of helping at home. Offering longer paid maternity leave would increase the birth rate by allowing mothers more time with newborns. Improving access to education for girls and women could decrease the birth rate as women pursue careers instead of becoming housewives. Providing tax reductions for families with three children may increase the birth rate by making larger families more financially secure. Better child survival rates could lead to higher birth rates as parents expect more children to reach adulthood. Establishing state pension programs may increase birth rates by reducing financial pressures on older

    1 Our numbers are growing fast

    Lots of things make the birth rate change in some places. For each of the
    following, explain how the birth rate will change (up or down) and why.
    a Children being made to go to school by law:

    The birth rate would go down because kids would be going to school
    instead of staying at home and taking care of their own family.

    b Longer paid maternity leave:

    The birth rate would increase because mothers would have more time to be
    with their children and take care of them. Therefore, the children would
    have better chances of surviving.

    c Better education for girls and women:

    The birth rate would go down because girls and women would focus more
    on studying and their own career instead of being a housewife.

    d Reduced taxes for having three children:

    The birth rate would go up as people would be more secure in finances and
    they wouldn’t hesitate to have more children.

    e Better survival rates for children (so that more make it to adulthood):

    The birth rate would increase because less children would die as their
    chances of survival are better.

    f State pensions:

    The birth rate would go up because older people would have enough
    money for their own needs and therefore they would be healthier and
    they would live longer.
