The doubling time of a population

is a function of exponential growth

What could account for the shape of the diagram?

Introduction of prenatal & infant medicine about 20 yrs ago.

Improved economy in a country correlates with

lower total fertility rates, decreased population growth

Human population growth prior to the Industrial Revolution had

litle change in maximum human life expectancy

When is a nation UNable to go from stage II to stage III of the demographic transition

when value isn't seen for having few, well educated children

cause more deaths in developing countries

Breast feeding slows population growth because

it increases the average number of years between births

The figure shows which of the following?

Kenya has not gone through demographic transition

Populations going through demographic transition go through a period of expansion but stabilize

with a larger population but zero growth

increased death rate
4
All of the following have contributed to human population growth rate increase EXCEPT
migration increased

5
The doubling time of a population
refers to demographic fertility

little change in average life expectancy
litle change in maximum human life expectancy
little change in death rates
little change in birth rates
9
When is a nation UNable to go from stage II to stage III of the demographic transition
when abundant food provides plenty of resources
