Effect of increased healthcare access on population?
Impacts infant mortality and lifespan.
Effect of education on TFR?
Especially for women, linked to lower TFRs.
Effect of economic conditions on family size?
Can influence family size decisions.
Why is IMR higher in developing countries?
Lack of contraceptives, inadequate sex education, limited access to medical tech.
How does lack of healthcare access affect IMR?
Increases IMR due to limited medical resources and prenatal care.

Leads to lower TFRs due to increased awareness and career opportunities.
How do economic conditions affect family size decisions?
Influence decisions about having children based on affordability and child labor needs.
How do cultural norms affect contraception use?
Affect attitudes towards family size and contraception, influencing TFR.

How does emigration affect a country's population?
Decreases the country's population size.
How does immigration affect a country's population?
Increases the country's population size.
