Population: Ch. 2

Zero population growth occurs when the TFR (total fertility rate) is at

• 1.2
• 2.1
• 2.7
• 1.9

Nearly all the world's population growth is clustered in what areas?

• Urban areas
• MDC's
• LDC's
• Suburban areas

There are NO countries in which stage?

• Stage 3
• Stage 2
• Stage 4
• Stage 1

If the GNP(Gross National Product) increases the birth rate of that country?

• decreases
• increases slowly
• doesn't change
• increases rapidly

Thomas Malthus thought

• 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 

The ratio of people who are too young or too old to work compared to the working population is called the

• dependency ratio
• population pyramid
• interconnected ratio
• retirement ratio

Death rates fall rapidly due to increased hygiene and medical advances during stage

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Lowest CDR occurs during stage

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Highest population growth occurs during stage

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

In LDC's this would be typically low.

• CDR
• CBR
• Infant mortality
• life expectancy
