Pronatalism: Cultural attitudes promoting childbirth and encouraging larger families.
Fertility Rate: The average number of children born per woman in a population during her reproductive years.
Family Planning: The practice of controlling family size through contraception methods or other means to achieve desired timing and spacing of pregnancies.
