• too many people for the available resources, particularly in regards to agricultural land
• too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture

Which of the following could be used to determine health care for women and children

• crude death rate

• infant mortality rate

• life expectancy

• natural increase rate

Which region has the population with the highest fertility rate and the lowest life expectancy?

• Southeast Asia
• Eastern Europe
• Latin America
• Sub-Saharan Africa

Country A has a crude birth rate of 60 and a crude death rate of 15, while Country B has a CBR of 27 and a CDR of 9. Which country has a higher natural increase rate?

• Country A

• The NIR is the same in both countries

• The rate depends on total population, so it can't be computed from this information.

• The CDR has no direct correlation to the CBR, so it cannot help determine the NIR
