Answer Text:
Factors Which Have Caused Low Fertility Rates in Kenya/Slow population Growth
1. Economic considerations where modern families prefer fewer children because it has become expensive to bring up a child.
2. Increased use of birth control measures.
3. More girls are attending school so they don’t get married early.
4. Education making women to opt to remain single as they get employed and no longer look to marriage as a source of financial security.
5. Modern career opportunities which have a limiting influence on the women’s fertility rate as most employees don’t want women who keep on going on maternity leave.
