Despite
the cultural differences with North America, what common processes seem to be at work in
both regions that have contributed to this demographic transition?
Birthrates have declined most in Tunisia, Iran, and Turkey. Many factors explain this trend, including an increased urbanization of the population—and hence a desire for smaller families; women likewise have increased both their education and have delayed marriage. Family planning initiatives are expanding, providing greater access to birth control. These trends have been in evidence in North American for decades.
