Africans generally have higher birth rates than Europeans due to a combination of social, economic, cultural, and demographic factors:
Low contraceptive use: Many African countries have limited access to modern contraceptives, with usage rates often below 25%, leading to more unintended pregnancies and larger families.
High adolescent fertility: The rate of births among teenagers in sub-Saharan Africa remains high, averaging 98 births per 1,000 girls aged 15 to 19.
Early and frequent marriage: Early marriage and polygamous relationships are more common, increasing the number of childbearing years and potential for more children.
Cultural and religious norms: Many African societies value large families for reasons including social status, security in old age, and religious beliefs that encourage high fertility.
Lower female education and empowerment: Lower levels of education and economic opportunity for women are strongly associated with higher fertility rates, as women may have fewer alternatives to early and frequent childbearing.
Limited social safety nets: In the absence of robust pension or welfare systems, children are often seen as a source of support for parents in old age, incentivizing larger families.
Slow demographic transition: Unlike Europe, where industrialization, urbanization, and improved child survival led to smaller families, much of Africa is still in earlier stages of the demographic transition, with high birth and declining death rates.
In contrast, Europeans generally experience:
Widespread access to contraception and reproductive health services
Higher levels of female education and workforce participation
Later age of marriage and childbearing
Cultural norms favoring smaller families
Strong social safety nets reducing the economic need for large families
These factors collectively explain why African birth rates remain significantly higher than those in Europe

In South Africa they probably can afford it but in the poorer countries in Africa they can’t. Birth rates in South Africa aren’t that high among blacks people compared to the rest of Africa

[Asker]

poor people have lots of kids

Wait until you learn about birth rates.
