The study of population is

• demography

• age structure

• migration

The distribution of ages in a specific population

• age structure

• infrastructure

• life expectancy

• demographic transition

Have the highest birth rates

• urbanization

• developed countries

• arable land

Movement of individuals into or out of a population.

• demographic transition

• infrastructure

• urbanization

• migration

Average number of years a person is likely to live.

• age structure

• life expectancy

• survivorship

• demography

Which of the following is true of human demographic trends?

• In preindustrial societies, birth rates are low and the population grows rapidly.

• When the average number of children born to each woman falls, the total population always increases.

• When birth rates and death rates are both high, the population grows slowly, if at all.

• Death rates rise in the third stage of the demographic transition.
