What can reduce infant mortality in developing countries?

availability of nutritional food

In certain countries female babies are aborted as males are preferred. How could this affect their population pyramid?

there will eventually be shorter bars on the right side of the pyramid than on the left

It will look like Japan's population pyramid

it would not appear on population pyramids.

Which of the following is a true statement about the total fertility of a society?

The total fertility of a society decreases as the society progresses through the demographic transition

The total fertility of a society is the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate

The total fertility of a society is the number of children necessary for a couple to replace themselves in the next generation

The total fertility of a society is positively correlated with the average education of women

The total fertility of a society is negatively correlated with the number of children of childbearing age

The population change in a particular year can be calculated by:

(births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)

(deaths + emigration) – (births + immigration)

(deaths + immigration) – (births + emigration)

(births + emigration) – (deaths + immigration)

(births + deaths) – (immigration + emigration)

Given a total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1, which statement is a correct description of this value?

The value represents the number of children born per unit female

Replacement level fertility is actually 2.0, which means that a male and a female will be replaced by 2 children

The value means that the population is growing slowly because 2.1 – 2.0 = +0.1

A value of 2.1 means that exponential population growth is occurring

The population theory held by Thomas Malthus was that the human population would:

Outstrip its resources, then suffer starvation and misery

Never reach its environment’s carrying capacity

Reach its environment’s carrying capacity and then maintain equilibrium

Maintain equilibrium with its carrying capacity

Refers to the average number of children each woman in a population will bear throughout her childbearing years:

Replacement-level fertility rate

Refers to the number of births each year per 1000 people:

Replacement-level fertility rate

Use the age-structure diagram depicted here... Which of the following correctly describes the population dynamics of Afghanistan, the United States, and Italy, respectively?

Rapid growth, slow growth, negative growth

Rapid growth, slow growth, slow growth

Slow growth, negative growth, rapid growth

Negative growth for all three countries

What two main factors would best indicate the quality of life of a country’s population?

The life expectancy and the infant mortality rate

The total fertility rate and the death rate

The crude birth rate and crude death rate

The birth rate and the infant mortality rate

The replacement-level fertility rate and the total fertility rate

Sustainable development is?

Meeting the needs of current generations without affecting the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Consuming as much of the earth's resources as possible in the time that we have.

Not getting our needs so that future generations can get their needs.

Or, put another way, What did Thomas Malthus believe?

The World population would be limited by the amount of food we can produce

The World population would be limited by total land resources

The World population would be limited by technological high marks

The World population would be limited by cultural appropriation

Which best describes the reason for the very rapid growth of the human population since the Industrial Revolution?

Technology has allowed the species to overcome some environmental resistance.

Humans have few offspring, but their young survive at a very high rate

Environmental resistance does not apply to humans

The biotic potential for humans has increased

Climatic change favorable to humans has allowed our species to expand its range

What is the first significant change that occurs in a country undergoing demographic transition?

Death rates decline as a result of improved food production and medical care

Birth rates decline as a result of the improved education of women.

Birth rate decline and and emigration occurs, resulting in a gradually declining population

Death rates and birth rates diverge, leading to a gradual population decline

Technological advances lead to an immediate population decline and improved status for the general population.
