High levels of fertility have repercussions for individuals, families, communities and society. At the individual level, a large number of children and closely spaced childbearing contribute to morbidity and mortality of both newborns and mothers. 8 High fertility levels can drain the family's resources, hence lowering the quality of life . At the societal level high fertility may result in fast population growth which may compound, if not create, a host of social, economic, and political problems such as pollution, inflation, shortage of housing and energy, unemployment, and food insecurity.
