Reason 1:Kenya doesn't practise abortion as it primarily doesn't have the sufficient equipment, this means that more children are born. Though some are still births, this still contributes towards a high Birth Rate Reason 2:Kenya is an LEDC (less ecenomicaly developed country). It is typical for each family to have 8 to 20 children, because they don't have retirement homes.The lack of retirement homes means that adults will need to be cared for in their old age so by having many children they will theoretically have many carers. Reason 3:Again, LEDC's have more children as there is a high Infant Mortality Rate, by having more children more are likely to survive. An example of this would be: I want 5 children but at least 2/5 of them will die so I will have 8 children. This means i will have my required amount of children in case some die. The UK has a relatively low infant mortality rate.

Hope my editing helped, Holly.

The population growth is higher in Kenya because the birth rate is higher than the Death Rate; this causes natural increase and the population has a rapid growth. The UK has a slower population growth because the birth and death rates are similar - low and fluctuating - so there is a small amount of population growth but not nearly as much as Kenya.

Kenya is overpopulated due to its unusually high birth rate. It is higher than almost any place in the world at 40 births per 1,000 people.

Because its people have sex a lot. Perhaps a contributing factor is their population, coupled with the lack or non-use of birth control.

This is because of diseases, lack of money(food and water).

It is a bigger chance of death for poor people because of these reasons.

Sorry, I didn't have alot.
