According to the United Nations World Population Prospects, Niger has a TFR of 7.19 – the highest in the world. Based on this figure, which of the following statements is least likely to be true?

A total fertility rate of 7.19 means women have about seven children on average, a pattern more commonly associated with lower socio-economic status and limited access to education and family planning. It is also consistent with Niger being a developing country where subsistence agriculture is common. Therefore, the least likely statement is that women in Niger have a high socio-economic status.
