Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agriculture is characterized by a greater need for labor in order to cultivate and harvest crops, as well as to tend to livestock. Pronatalism, or the encouragement of high fertility rates, is often seen in agricultural societies as more children mean more labor to work the land and take care of the animals. On the other hand, foraging societies tend to have lower fertility rates as children can be seen as a burden when it comes to mobility and resource availability. Horticulture and pastoralism can also have tendencies toward pronatalism but to a lesser extent than agriculture. Industrialism/informatics societies tend to prioritize material consumption and advancement over fertility rates, leading to lower fertility rates overall.
