HuG Population Review 2024

How do you calculate the Rate of Natural Increase for a population?

• Birth Rate - Mortality Rate = Overall Growth Rate
• Infant Mortality Rate - Birth Rate = Rate of Natural Increase
• Birth Rate ÷ 1,000 people per square mile = Population Density
• Urban Population - Rural Population = Rate of Natural Increase

A population pyramid shows:

• Population distribution for age and sex of an area
• Population distribution for land area
• Population distribution per capita level
• Population distribution for age of population

There are NO countries in which stage?

• Stage 3
• Stage 2
• Stage 4

People concerned about overpopulation worry about?

• population would increase at the same rate as farming production

• population would eventually decline due to birth control and family planning

• population would eventually outgrow food production

• moral restraint would lower population growth
