Answer to Question 1

Total fertility rate refers to the hypothetical number of children that a woman would have if she survived her entire reproductive lifetime. In Italy, the TFR is very close to the actual average because medical care is good and most women survive through menopause (their reproductive lifetime). In Ivory Coast, the TFR is probably greater than the actual average for women because mortality among women is high during their reproductive lifetime. TFR will likely decrease in both countries in the future, especially in developing countries where women's education and opportunities are increasing.
