Now the crude birth rate is 16 thousand per year and the crude death rate is 5 per thousand per year. Which of the following statements about the country now is most likely to be true? Responses The population is decreasing. The growth rate of the population is increasing. The country is at the preindustrial stage of the demographic transition. The country is at the industrial stage of the demographic transition. The country is at the postindustrial stage of the demographic transition.

Which of the following statements best explains why the country has a declining death rate? Responses The country is in stage 1 of the demographic transition, and infant mortality is high because of poor health services and high levels of poverty. The country is in stage 2 of the demographic transition, and life expectancy has increased because of improvements in public health, sanitation, and access to food. The country is in stage 3 of the demographic transition, and more women are entering the workforce and shifting to having children later in life. The country is in stage 4 of the demographic transition, and the population growth rate is declining.
The country is in stage 2 of the demographic transition, and life expectancy has increased because of improvements in public health, sanitation, and access to food.
Which of the following is a true statement about the total fertility of a society? Responses The total fertility of a society is the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate. The total fertility of a society is the number of children necessary for a couple to replace themselves in the next generation. The total fertility of a society is positively correlated with the average education of women. The total fertility of a society is negatively correlated with the number of women of child-bearing age. The total fertility of a society decreases as the society progresses through the demographic transition.
