Which of the following factors drives TFR down? a. high infant mortality b. social and economic security c. rural lifestyle poverty d. history and tradition

b. social and economic security

Explanation:

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY is the best answer of all the options. Based on physical evidence, it would seem as though that developed countries (which have higher social and economic security levels) have lower TOTAL FERTILITY RATES (TFR).

There is an inverse relationship between income and fertility, countries with high GDPs have low TFR, the reverse holds true for low GDP countries. Since we can argue that higher GDP countries got to that level with social and economic security, deductively, social and economic security reduce TFR.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
