Birth rates can be decreased in LEDCs as many of the babies die as there's no hospitals or if there are hospitals they haven't got the right equipment for them to survive. Also there may be a illness going around and when the babies get they aren't strong enough to get rid of it. They may also die of starvation or dehydration. Hope this helps :)

Did birth rate in 1920s decrease or increase?
In the 1920s, birth rates generally decreased in industrialized nations due to factors such as economic instability, changing social norms, and increased access to contraception.
Why are people in MEDC's having less children than people in LEDC's?
Birth rate refers to how many children are born per 1000 people, so higher birth rates result from anything influencing this 'choice'. reasons why LEDCs have a higher birth rate are both due to a falling birth rate in many MEDCs as well as increasing birth rates in LEDCs. One: sex and age - If women are within child-bearing age (18-25 I suppose is accurate) they are more likely to have children and less likely to lose the child. This can explain differences between LEDCs and MEDCs as in LEDCs there is a greater proportion of younger women than in MEDCs in their population, which will in turn increase births per 1000 people. Two: Economic reasons. In MEDCs less people are having children, as they give an 'opportunity cost' (i.e. if a family have a child they may not be able to move into a larger house, for example, due to needing the money for raising the child). In LEDCs children can instead be seen as an economic asset, particularly in rural agrarian cultures where more children means an extra pair of hands to work the land. Both are significant; the first in deterring births in MEDCs and the second incentivising them in LEDCs. Three: Social reasons. Firstly, there is evidence to support that with gender equality fertility rates fall, thus birth rates also fall. It is the same with education of women. Both give women a choice on whether or not to have children, making it less of a part of life, which will inevitably lead to some deciding against having children. This is less the case in LEDCs, explaining why more women have children here than in MEDCs. Secondly, it can also be seen favourably for men to have a lot of children, pushing both men and women to have more children to achieve a higher social status (the case in many parts of Africa). Thirdly, if expectations are that half of your children will die before adulthood, you are likely to have more to ensure the family can continue - with higher infant mortality in LEDCs a lot of women choose to have more children to ensure that at least one survives (which is not the case in MEDCs). Finally, contraception plays a vital role both in availibility and willingness - certain cultures will frown upon contraception for religious reasons (many of these in LEDCs), and LEDCs are less likely to invest in family planning, so people are less aware of measures they can take to have less children.
What countries benefit from fair trade?
The trade fair benefits the LEDCs because they provide us with raw materials at very cheap rates.
How birth rates and death rates influence the size of a population?
If birth rates exceed death rates, the population increases proportionally. If death rates exceed birth rates, the population decreases.
Why death rates tend to fall before birth rates?
Birth rates rise as death rates fall?
Why have infant death rates decreased in the past 50 years?
Infant death rates have decreased in the past 50 years due to unhealthy economy, lack of food resources and disease .
What are the advantages of globalisation for medc and ledcs?
One of the advantages of globalization is that there can be work outsourcing to developing countries. Labor and parts can be acquired at cheaper rates. However, one disadvantage is that it can lead LEDCs to risk its own natural resources like oil and rainforests just to supply for MEDCs.
What can be done to decrease birth rate in ledc's?
To decrease birth rates in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs), efforts can focus on improving access to education, particularly for women, and promoting family planning services, including contraceptives. Empowering women to make decisions about their own reproductive health and providing information on the benefits of smaller family sizes can also help in reducing birth rates. Additionally, addressing underlying factors such as poverty, lack of healthcare infrastructure, and cultural norms that may encourage high fertility can also play a role in decreasing birth rates.
The tendency of a population to shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates is called a an?
The tendency of a population to shift from high birth and death rates is called a demographic transition.
What are two ways that the size of population can increase?
Increased Birth Rate or decreased Death Rate
What are Canada's birth and death rates?
Canada's birth/death rates per 1000 are: birth: 10.12 death: 10.8
What is the tendency is a population to shift from high birth rates and death rates to low birth and death rates called?
Demographic transition
