Explanation

India's high birth rate stems from multiple interconnected factors: predominance of agriculture (where more children means more farm labor), slow urbanization (urban areas typically have lower fertility), and high poverty incidence (poor families often lack access to contraception and may view children as economic assets). All factors contribute significantly to India's demographic challenges.
