The major cause of rapid population growth rate in Tropical Africa is the lack of family planning. Family planning refers to the ability of individuals and couples to plan their family size and spacing of children. In many African countries, cultural and religious beliefs, lack of education, limited access to contraceptives, and low status of women make it difficult for individuals and couples to control their family size. As a result, there is a high fertility rate and rapid population growth, which put much pressure on land, exacerbate malnutrition and diseases, and make it difficult to improve living standards. Improving family planning services and education can help slow down the population growth rate and lead to sustainable development in Tropical Africa.
