the fertility rate is much higher in Africa done in the United States describe the difference between these two regions that causes the difference in fertility rates

Due to the differences in education, medical services and ideology of reproduction

Explanation:

The difference between the fertility rate is majorly due to the distinction is social practices such as

a) US literacy rate is high and hence they are more aware towards having safe sex and that too at a specific age. While in Africa majority of people are illiterate and get involve into sexual activity without any knowledge irrespective of their time

b) People in US prefer to have sex with protection and hence they do not reproduce every time they have sex while in African countries sex is performed without protection and hence there are high chances of reproducing.

c) In US people give birth to child when they are capable enough to support his/her need and demand, while in African countries people prefer to have children as a mode of support in their old age.

In the US, we learn health (ED) which is a great advocate to wait or to use protection. In Africa, most schools do not teach this as widespread as the us does.

In the US we have birth control, contraceptives, and other methods to prevent pregnancy. In Africa they do not use or believe in contraception or birth control. These are not apart of their culture.

The US is rapidly advancing in women empowerment and in the #metoo movement everyday. In Africa it is believed that woman are not equal to men and the unequality can lead to assualt (unprotected).
