Why is Madagascar's birth rate the way it is?

Madagascar is a LEDC with poor access to contraception and family planning, there is also not very good equality between the sexes which results in a low level of control in women's fertility. Madagascar is developing and most families rely on farming for money and food, this results in a need for children to work on the farm and to support the elderly. That is why Madagascar has a high birthrate.
