What is the reason that many African countries are said to have population momentum? Many African countries have retirees who live longer and use more social benefits. Many African countries have not yet reached replacement fertility rates. Many African countries have younger workers who have difficulty starting careers. Many African countries have a high number of young women who have not yet given birth.

Many African countries have a high number of young women who have not yet given birth.

According to the demographic transition model, how does economic stability contribute to slowing population growth over the long term? Economic stability drives citizens to prize material wealth rather than pronatalist cultural values. Economic stability enhances or exacerbates pronatalist pressures, which increases infant mortality. Economic stability allows governments to impose population control strategies such as sterilization. Economic stability leads to improved access to health care, which results in decreased infant mortality.

Economic stability leads to improved access to health care, which results in decreased infant mortality.

Addressing pronatalist pressures can help reduce population growth rates. This often involves bringing social justice to women and families so they can better care for themselves and their children. The graphs show the correlation between total fertility rate (TFR) and childhood mortality, education for women, and access to birth control. Each point on the graphs represents the data for one country. In a negative correlation, increases in one variable coincide with decreases in another variable. In a positive correlation, two variables either increase or decrease in tandem. Identify the statements that correctly describe the correlations between TFR and important related factors.negative correlation with contraceptive usepositive correlation with childhood mortalitypositive correlation with the education of womenpositive correlation with contraceptive usenegative correlation with the education of womennegative correlation with childhood mortality

negative correlation with contraceptive use positive correlation with childhood mortality negative correlation with the education of women

The population growth rate is a metric of how quickly a population increases in size. It is dependent upon the population's death and birth rates. Human population growth rates fluctuate over time. For example, after the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century in Europe and North America, the human population growth rate soared because better health care and nutrition led to lower mortality rates. In the past few decades, human population growth has significantly decreased in some areas of the world. Despite a trend of lower birth rates in many regions during the past century, the global human population, which scientists estimated to be 7.7 billion in 2019, is increasing at a growth rate of just over 1%. If Earth's population continues to grow at the current rate of 1.1%, what will be the projected global human population in the year 2100?21 billion11 billionmore than 30 billion8-9 billion

Earth's carrying capacity is not fixed. Identify the statements that correctly characterize how carrying capacity changes.Carrying capacity increases with increased population.Carrying capacity increases with reduced ecological footprint.Carrying capacity increases with technological innovations.Carrying capacity decreases with increased education.Carrying capacity decreases with environmental damage.

Carrying capacity increases with reduced ecological footprint. Carrying capacity increases with technological innovations. Carrying capacity decreases with environmental damage.

The United States has a smaller per capita ecological footprint than Qatar, but a larger per capita ecological footprint than China. Given this information, why does China have the largest overall impact?China has a larger land area than the United States.China has less environmental damage than the United States.China has a larger population than the United States.China is less densely populated than the United States.

China has a larger population than the United States.

How does the information in Graph A relate to that in Graph B? Graph A shows projected total populations over the period 1950 through 2100 and Graph B shows the population change in a single year broken out by region. Graph A shows projected global population under multiple scenarios and Graph B shows the predicted change in regional population under one scenario. Graph A allows fertility rate to grow over the period 2020 to 2100, and Graph B assumes a constant fertility rate over the same period. Graph A shows projected global population using a constant fertility rate, whereas Graph B show changes using variable fertility rates.

Graph A shows projected global population under multiple scenarios and Graph B shows the predicted change in regional population under one scenario.

Based on the demographic transition model, classify each population characteristic as preindustrial, industrializing, mature industrial, or postindustrial. Preindustrial high birth and death rates very slow or stationary population growth Industrializing high birth rates but lower death rates rapid population growth Mature industrial rapidly slowing birth rates population growth starting to slow down Postindustrial low birth and death rates dramatic slowing down of population growth

In the 1950s, the state of Kerala had one of the fastest growing populations in India. However, by the late 1980s, the state achieved replacement fertility, meaning that children were born at a rate to replace the people who died. Kerala also has the highest life expectancy at birth in all of India, at 75 years, the lowest birth and death rates, and the lowest childhood mortality rate. Much of the success of Kerala is attributable to its very high literacy rate and health care access, which are heavily prioritized by the Kerala state government despite the state's relative poverty. What were three distinct advantages of Keralan culture that helped spread education and health care?Wealth and status were passed down to daughters rather than sons.The state instituted a highly incentivized sterilization program.The state had an above average concentration of missionary schools catering to people of all faiths.There was no real divide between urban and rural populations in access to public services.There was a low rate of emigration of young people from the area.The state had the highest life expectancy at birth in India.
