Life expectancy is low when... 

What is infant mortality is high?

200

A population has a growth rate of 2% per year. This is the number of years it will take to double in size.  

What is 35 years?

This is the first step to slowing overpopulation and human population growth. 

What is economic development?

300

This stage in the demographic transition is characterized by slow population growth, where the birth rate approaches the death rate. 

What is industrial? 

300

A population that doubles in size after about 350 years would have a growth rate of...

350 = 70/.2

What is 0.2%?

300

These are some negative impacts related to overpopulation (list 2). 

What is deforestation for housing / farming, burning fossil fuels for intensive energy consumption, depleting fish stocks through overfishing, pollution - such as carbon emissions that cause climate change or agricultural runoff that causes eutrophication, etc.?

What is size 11?

400

A country experiencing access to vaccines and immunizations for the first time would be in this demographic transition stage. 

What is transitional? 

400

A country like Kenya would have higher TFRs becuase... (list 3)

What are higher infant mortality, less developed / access to contraceptives, less family planning, women have less education / career opportunity, more children can support the family, women have children earlier, fertility is celebrated culturally, etc.?

400

A population of 2,000,000 that has 20,000 births per year would be experiencing this crude birth rate (CBR).

CBR = (births / population) x 1,000 to make crude

20,000 / 2,000,000 = 0.01

0.01 x 1,000 = 10

CBR = 10

These are the reasons TFRs are decreasing (list 5). 

What are increased education for women, increased career opportunity for women, access to contraceptives, family planning, improved survivorship of children, and cultural shifts.

500

Decreased death rate and rapid population growth are correlated to these factors (list 4).

What are improved sanitation, healthcare, technology, increased food supply, and disease control?

500

This is the growth rate (r) for a population with 10 CBR, 5 CDR, and 0.5 net migration.

r = (CBR - CDR + net migration) / 10

r = (10-5) + 0.5

r = 5.5 / 10

r = 0.55%
