demographic transition

Under ideal conditions with unlimited resources, a population will grow

exponentially

Which statement best illustrates why replacement-level fertility in developing countries is 2.5 and in developed countries it is 2.17

fertility in developing nations is higher due to the lack of education and contraceptive devices.

All of the following factors tend to cause women to have fewer children EXCEPT

high infant mortality

The biggest environmental problem is

human population growth

Although the fertility rate for women in the United States has declined in recent years to a value below replacement level, the United States population is still increasing because of

immigration
