1
Which of the population pyramids represents a slow population growth pattern & WHAT is the reason for this trend?
An upside down triangle because women are empowered having fewer kids
A rectangle because of SPICE factors lowering CBRs to nearly match CDRs
A triangle because the population structure is so young
A circle because of political policies such as the One Child Policy
2
What may be a reason for a global aging population?
Industrialization increased urbanization & kids are economically burdens
Anti-natalist policies such as China's O.C.P has decreased family size
Medical care has increased life expectancy and delayed degenerate diseases
Women are chosing to work instead of having big families
3
Studying the distribution of the worlds population or ecumene, few people live in regions too high/wet/cold/dry. WHY?
It is too difficult to grow food, which is why so many live in mid-lats
It is too uncomfortable which is why many move toward the equator
It is too cold to grow food, which is why many live south of the equator
It is too difficult to shop, which is why many live in the high-lats

5
Country A has a CBR of 33 and a CDR of 16. What is happening to the population?
