Answer to Question 1

Birthrates have declined most in Tunisia, Iran, and Turkey. Many factors explain this trend, including an increased urbanization of the populationand hence a desire for smaller families; women likewise have increased both their education and have delayed marriage. Family planning initiatives are expanding, providing greater access to birth control. These trends have been in evidence in North American for decades.
