You seem to have mis-spelt "education, income, child mortality and availability of contraception". If the population is rising then clearly the extra kids are not simply to cover for child mortality, you don't need to be educated to understand if you have a limited food supply you can't support too many children, ditto income and the best form of contraception is to keep your trousers on. Stop making excuses for these people, they're not some sort of witless missing link whose behaviour is instinct based. |

Unfortunately religion and stupidity generally lead to many cultures having far more In developing countries you need as many children as possible in order to be sure to be looked after in old age, because the state surely doesn't do it Many tribal peoples have a stable populations and care for the elderly as a group. Its entirely dependant on culture. |
