Country A has a physiological density of 2,300 and an arithmetic density of 84, this means that
many farmers are out of work
there are a large number of farmers
a small percentage of land is arable
too many people for available resources
too few farmers for large area of arable land
How are stage 1 and stage 4 of the DTM similar?
both have low growth rates
both have high dependency ratios
both have low dependency ratios
both have low life expectancy
both have low death rates
We can assume that the principal reason for declining natural increase rates in less developed countries today is
increasing crude birth rates
declining crude birth rates
increasing crude death rates
declining crude death rates
balanced natural increase rates
Which of the following can be found by the information shown?
predict maternal mortality rate
cannot be used to determine infant morality rate
estimate the dependency ratio
cannot be used to estimate sex ratio
determined primarily by the combination of crude birth rates and crude growth rate
Which of the following could be used to determine health care for women and children
crude birth rate
crude death rate
infant mortality rate
life expectancy
natural increase rate
A high birth rate, high death rate, and low natural increase rate is
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
Countries like Germany, Russia, Japan, and the United States are dealing with
a decreasing life expectancy among younger populations
an increasing need for child care centers
revenue for support programs for elderly populations are declining with a declining working population
sex ratio is becoming disproportionate
total population is decreasing in all these countries
A country with a birth rate of 11 and death rate of 13 would benefit from
pro-natalist policies
anti-natalist policies
increased spending on education
decreased spending on health care
restrictive immigration policies
Which of the following is true among less-developed countries?
more females
more males
a population that has a high percentage over age 15
a population that has a high percentage under age 15
a high percentage of population receiving adequate medical care
A country with a high rate of natural increase that faces a shortage of food supply supports which theory?
Demographic transition
Epidemiological transition
Neo-Malthusian Theory
Core-Periphery Theory
Human-Environment Theory
Which of the following best summarizes Malthus's theory?
if left unchecked by regular cycles of famine and misery, population would increase beyond the ability to feed itself.
the ability of a population to feed itself would increase with the expansion of the population
reductions of infant mortality would eventually result in slower population growth rates
agricultural developments in the mid-to-late 19th century would result in a significant expansion of food production
more people would mean greater knowledge invested in expanding food production
In the last 25 years
women have an average of 8 children
fertility rates in low- and middle-income countries are higher
global fertility rates have fallen
sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and the Pacific have doubled their fertility rates
fertility rates in most high-income countries have risen
The Earth area of permanent human settlement is called the
hot zone
civilized world
geophenom
ecumene
subpolar region
Land suited for agriculture is called
ecumene land
biome land
physiological land
arid land
arable land
Which of the following statements about regional variations in natural increase rate is TRUE?
More than 95% of the natural increase is clustered in more developed countries.
Regional differences in NIRs means that most of the world's additional people live in countries that are best able to maintain them.
The population of Europe is increasing because of high NIRs.
The NIR exceeds 2.0% in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa
Europe (including Russia) has had an increasing population since 1980.

Stage 4
Stage 5
Although China has the largest population in the world, what explains the country's declining NIR?
AIDS pandemic
famine
a 30-year population control policy
a high number of emigrants leaving China
government provided contraceptives
The percentage by which a population grows in years is called the
doubling time
crude birth rate
natural increase rate
total fertility rate
life expectancy
