This is significantly higher than the national average of 2.2 children per woman.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of factors that contribute to Punjab&#8217;s high fertility rate. One factor is the strong cultural emphasis on having children. In Punjab, having children is seen as a sign of wealth and status. It is also seen as a way to ensure that one&#8217;s family will be taken care of in old age.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor that contributes to Punjab&#8217;s high fertility rate is the lack of access to family planning services. In rural areas, in particular, there are often few or no family planning clinics available. This makes it difficult for women to access the contraception they need to control their fertility.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the high poverty rate in Punjab also contributes to the high fertility rate. Women in poor households are more likely to have large families because they see children as a source of income and support.<\/p>\n<p>The high fertility rate in Punjab is a major challenge for the state.
