Social
In India, social status plays a big role in the birth rate. ... Another reason why birth rates are higher in India than the UK is that in India male children are culturally more desired than females. ... With such a low life expectancy, a poor rural family would need to have six or seven children to ensure a 95 percent chance one son will survive to look after them in old age and inherit land etc. ... This can sometimes mean that it can become too late for certain couples to actually have children which lowers the birth rate further. ...
Religious
In the UK, contraceptives and abortion are religiously accepted. ... Hindu and Muslim culture does not allow birth control of any sort and it is much more acceptable to have large families anyway. ... This is a large factor for higher birth rate in India.
