Write an essay discussing how technological, economic and social factors can cause levels of
mortality and fertility to change.
Mortality and Fertility are affected by a variety of factors. Many of these factors are
difficult to measure because they involve subjectivity, and some of them may not apply across
cultures. Some of these factors are affected by Technological, Economic, and social, resulting
from having a change in Fertility patterns and Mortality rates in between countries and over time.
From the demographic viewpoint, Mortality is related to the age and sex of an individual. There
is infant Mortality, Mortality of women at the time of delivery, Mortality of men due to cancer of
the prostate, etc. On the other hand, the Fertility rate is a measure of the average number of
children a woman will have during her childbearing years. But the question is, how do
Technology, Economic, and Social Factors affect the Mortality and Fertility levels in our
country? We all know that Technology brings a big change in our country as time goes by.
Technologies are becoming more modern and high-tech where we can get a lot of benefits. In the
absence of Technological intervention, one might say almost the sole determinants, but
improvements in contraceptive techniques, increasing acceptance of abortion, and slackening of
some traditional religious and cultural traditions have in many parts of the world reduced the role
of Fertility. In addition, at this present time, many innovations have contributed to improvements
in health to increased awareness of risk factors for many diseases, and to improvements in the
quality of medical care and these Technological changes, whether in the form of new knowledge
or new products and services, have enabled people to live longer and better lives. On the other
hand, Economic changes have the greatest impact on reducing family size, and thus slowing
population growth, compared to other factors. Understanding the causes of declining birth rates
may lead to improved policies designed to influence Fertility and result in reduced competition
for food, water, land, and wealth. Improvements in Economic development, such as higher
educational attainment, increasing employment in the formal labor market, and the shift away
from agriculture, seem to have a doubly powerful effect because they not only raise individuals'
standards of living but also correlate to declining Fertility rates. Moreover, Fertility and
Mortality in the community are also greatly influenced by Social Factors. People's educational
opportunities, their capacity to comprehend basic explanations for things, their availability to
contraception, their healthcare access, and their access to basic information from people or the
internet are all important parts of Social Factors. Since the country's poverty rate continues to
rise, the more people who are unable to access education and the more ignorant they become
about the consequences of their actions. Due to a lack of information, they engage in unprotected
sex, leading to increase infertility. And even though this ignorance is not their fault, they are not
given the proper recognition or privileges to know what is proper; people, particularly the
disadvantaged, require the support of those in authority in order to be guided in proper birth
control. In addition to having difficulty obtaining proper education, they also have struggles
purchasing contraception or trying to learn from the social media world. In conclusion, the
Economy, Technological, and Social Factors have pros and cons in changing the Fertility and
Mortality rate; however, these factors can also help us to be more educated and be more aware so
that we can control for both state of birth and death.
