Recorded score adjustments and policy audits
marriage-law audit: 0.00 Malawi: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded by the 2026-10-10 legal-status review. Country is included in the 2026 legal-status survey under a status other than generally available domestic civil marriage. This describes legal status, not a demonstrated effect on birth rates.
Sources archived before (1)
Malawi faces deep poverty, food insecurity, limited electrification and major WASH/service gaps. The World Bank and UN agencies document large infrastructure and human-capital needs even as national programmes expand access. Family stability is constrained where poverty, food, housing, employment, care and public-service gaps fall directly on children and caregivers; the score therefore reflects continuity of family life, not income alone.

Malawi faces deep poverty, food insecurity, limited electrification and major WASH/service gaps. The World Bank and UN agencies document large infrastructure and human-capital needs even as national programmes expand access. External trade, resource flows, aid, emissions and cross-border effects cannot be reduced to territorial conditions alone.
