What are the causes of rapid population growth?

There are a number of factors that contribute to rapid population growth, including improvements in medical technology, which have dramatically reduced infant and child mortality rates, thus increasing the overall birth rate. Additionally, urbanization and improved economic conditions have allowed for larger families to be economically viable and for people to move to areas with better job prospects. Social and cultural attitudes towards reproductive health and family planning have been slow to change in some parts of the world, leading to a lack of access to contraception and family planning services, which can further exacerbate population growth. Finally, immigration and the movement of people between countries can also contribute to population growth in certain areas.
