Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Programs that allow access to food, shelter, and medical care can improve the health and living conditions of a population, leading to a decrease in infant mortality rates and an increase in life expectancy. This, in turn, creates a sense of security, which leads to a reduction in birth rates as parents choose to have fewer children. Additionally, increased economic opportunity and education for women have been linked to reduced fertility rates, which can be further facilitated through economic and social development programs.
