Conclusion:
Catholic prohibition does not have a primary influence on birth
control reflected in a high birth rate, as other factors appear to play a
greater role in birth rate (unemployment rate, education, infant mortality
rate, short average lifespan, etc.). For example when comparing a high Catholic
citizen state such as Mexico (82.7%) to a non-Catholic/low Catholic state such
as China (3-4%), the results of childbirth and infant morality rates are
approximately the same to one another even though they both differ when it
comes to religious beliefs. The technologically conservative prohibitions
against birth control among Catholic populations, does not really exist in
behavior. In some countries with a high percentage of Catholic populations [such
as Brazil (73.6)], have a high percentage of births, but depending on the
country [such as Belgium (75%)] other factors are in play. Some factors that
may be affecting the birth rate and the need for birth control is the level of
education (such as sex-education and practicing safe sex) citizens are
receiving in their home country. Within countries such as Austria (with a catholic
population of 73.6) the level of education citizens receive is on average 16
years, yet in low to non-Catholic countries such as India (2.3% Christian
population) receive on average an education level of 10 years. As a result high
percentages of catholic population have a low percentage of births and infant
morality rates.
