Population.
Madagascar is in stage three of the demographic transition model. This means the birth rate is declining because women are having fewer children. This might be because women are becoming more and more educated, or they don't have the resources to support a child. In 2000, the birth rate in Madagascar was 5.84, but today the birth rate is 4.45.
