Question 10 • TX-World Geography Studies

Which of the following statements about a high TFR is most likely to be false?

Answer
A
A high TFR rarely is linked to poverty.
B
A high TFR most often occurs in a rural environment where subsistence agriculture is practiced.
C
A high TFR corresponds to limited knowledge or understanding of family planning practices or contraception.
D
A high TFR tends to occur in areas where women receive little education and have a lower social status.

Explanation

A high total fertility rate (TFR) is commonly associated with poverty, so the claim that it “rarely is linked to poverty” is most likely false. High TFRs are also often found in rural areas where families rely on subsistence agriculture, and where access to family planning and contraception is limited. Less education and lower social status for women are also associated with higher fertility rates.
