Sociologists have focused on social inequality and industrialization as the two major social determinants of population growth. Industrialization leads to advances in technology and medicine which decrease mortality rates, while social inequality affects birth rates and family planning choices. Studies have shown that as countries become more industrialized and their economies develop, birth rates tend to decline. However, inequality can lead to divergent reproductive behavior among different socio-economic groups.
