Using Figure 5–6, describe the type of growth Mexico is experiencing.

• Mexico is experiencing a rapid growth rate because there are more children than adults.

• Mexico is experiencing no growth because people are living longer.

• Mexico is experiencing slowed growth because there are fewer adults.

• Mexico is experiencing a rapid decline because there are more children than adults.

What evidence do you see in Figure 5–6 that the United States is gradually entering the last stage of demographic transition?

• The age structure for the US has fewer children in the younger age categories

• The age structure for the US has fewer adults in the middle age categories

• The age structure for the US has greater numbers in the 15-19 age category

• The age structure for the US shows females living longer than males.

What three factors can affect ANY population's growth rate?

• Birthrate, death rate, migration
• disease, predation, migration

The percentages of individuals found at different age levels make up the ______ of the population.

• carrying capacity
• age structure
• survivorship
• birthrate

In stage 3 of the demographic transition, birth rate starts to fall,

• so population growth starts to slow

• so population growth starts to speed up

Stage 1 of the demographic transition has high birth and death rates,

• which lead to fast population growth

• which lead to slow population growth

• which lead to no population growth

Some countries are stuck in stage 2 of the demographic transition

• as their birth rates are still high

• as their birth rates are still low
