How does access to reproductive healthcare affect women's autonomy?
Access to reproductive healthcare, including contraception and abortion, increases women's autonomy over their reproductive choices.
What is the effect of limited education for women on TFR?
Limited education often leads to higher TFRs as women have less awareness of family planning and fewer economic opportunities.
What is the effect of high infant mortality rates on fertility?
High infant mortality rates can lead to higher fertility rates as families have more children to ensure some survive.
What is the impact of women's political empowerment on TFR?
