Which factor leads to women having fewer and healthier children? 

A)  when women live in societies in which their individual rights are NOT protected 
B)  when women have access to paying jobs outside the home 
C)  when women have limited access to birth control 
D)  when women have limited access to education

When women have access to paying jobs outside the home, they are more likely to delay childbirth and have fewer children. This is because they prioritize their careers and have less time for child-rearing. Additionally, having a job often comes with access to healthcare and education, which can lead to healthier pregnancies and children. Factors A, C, and D can all potentially hinder women's ability to control their reproductive health and make informed decisions about childbearing.
