Even if a country reduces its birth rate and maintains replacement-level fertility, its population will still continue to grow for several decades because of

• population momentum.
• better health care.

Use Figure 7-1.  Population A is most likely:

• rapidly growing
• rapidly declining
• stable or close to stable
• going to decline in a few decades
