A metropolitan region of 100,000 people has 2000 births, 500 deaths, 200 emigrants, and 100 immigrants over a 1-year period. Its population growth rate is
1.2 percent.
1.4 percent
1.6 percent.
1.8 percent.
2.0 percent.
Which of the following statements about total fertility rate is correct
TFR is equal to the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate.
TFR is the average number of children each woman must have to replace the current population.
TFR is generally higher in developed countries than in developing countries
TFR is equal to the growth rate of a country
TFR is the average number of children each woman will give birth to during her childbearing years.
Even if a country reduces its birth rate and maintains replacement-level fertility, its population will still continue to grow for several decades because of
lower death rates
increased income.
population momentum
better health care.
increased life expectancy.
Which of the following countries best exemplifies phase 4 of a demographic transition?
Argentina
China
India
Mexico
Japan
Using the rule of 70, a population growing at 10% would double in
7 years
10 years
17 years
15 years
not enough information to tell
Populations whose age structure diagrams are narrower at the bottom than at the top have
high death rates
the same proportion of individuals in each age group
a declining population
a high growth rate
all of the above
A particular country has a Total Fertility Rate equal to replacement level fertility and emigration equal to immigration. Which of the following must be true?
The population will begin shrinking within ten years, based on the Rule of 70.
The population must be stable.
The population will begin growing as soon as TFR = 2.1.
Infant mortality must also be less than Crude Death Rate.
There is not enough information to tell.
Population size can be estimated using the formula
CBR + Immigration + CDR + Emigration
CBR + Immigration – CDR – Emigration
CBR + Immigration + CDR – Emigration
CBR – Immigration – CDR – Emigration
CBR – Immigration + CDR – Emigration
