• Impoverished families have this notion that the more the number of members in the family, the more will be the numbers to earn income.
• Some feel that more children are needed to look after them in their old age.
• Nowadays we are getting better medical facilities which result in decreased death rate.
• Indians still lag behind in the use of contraceptives and birth control methods.
