What is death rate?
A population pyramid shaped like an upside down triangle reflects this type of natural increase rate.
What is negative natural increase rate?

What is pro-natalist policy?
A Syrian family fleeing war and seeking refuge in Germany. These family members can be described as this.

What are infectious diseases and famine?
