Factors affecting the birth and death rate

Countries with high death rates tend to also have high birth rates like LEDS, farming communities in LEDC’s that rely on traditional farming practices have high birth rates because more people are needed for manual labour, in MEDC’s most people live in cities and therefore do not need large families and its expensive to raise children in MEDC’, birth control is not widely used in LEDC’s because of cost, lack of access, religious practices and lack of education
