Step-by-step explanation:

In developing countries children are needed as a labour force and to provide care for their parents in old age. In these countries, fertility rates are higher due to the lack of access to contraceptives and generally lower levels of female education.

Often times people in developing countries lack health education and don’t have the resources to access contraceptives. Another reason as to why they may have so many children is because they’re needed for labour force.
