	Total fertility rate is generally considered to be a better, more direct, measure of fertility since it looks at the total number of children a single woman would have over her lifetime.

	Fertility rates in undeveloped countries are generally much higher than those in developed countries. Wealthier countries tend to see a trend in which fertility rates were only slightly higher than the replacement rate, at times dipping slightly below. Factors that contribute to this are low mortality rates, relative stability in society, greater wealth, more access to education (especially for women), and more urbanization. The participation of women in the labor force also lowers the fertility rate of an area.<ref name=causes> Robert L. Brown et al. (2015, Feb. 17).

	In undeveloped countries, more children are seen as a necessity. Fertility rates can reach up to five or six children in these areas. Less developed countries' projections for fertility rates into the future start off with a very high fertility rate, and are projected to see a sharp drop in the fertility rate as development occurs in these areas. Lack of access to contraceptives, high infant mortality rate, incidences of civil war, and lower levels of female education all lead to more children being born for each woman.<ref name='causes'/>		In undeveloped countries, more children are seen as a necessity.
