3. ANSWER
PART(A):
1. What is demography?
Answer 1:
Demography is the study of demographics, the social characteristics and
statistics of a human population. This study of the size, age structures, and economics
of different populations can be used for a variety of purposes.
2. What is demographic transition? What is it based on?
Answer 2:
Demographic transition is a model that changes in a country's population. It
states that the population will eventually stop growing when the country transitions
from high birth rates and high death rates to low birth rates and death rates, stabilizing
the population. Demographic Transition is based on historical population trends of
two demographic characteristics – birth rate and death rate – to suggest that a
country's total population growth rate cycles through stages as that country develops
economically.
3. What is a baby boom?
Answer 3:
baby boom, in the U.S., the increase in the birth rate between 1946 and 1964;
also, the generation born in the U.S. during that period. The hardships and
uncertainties of the Great Depression and World War II led many couples to delay
marriage and many married couples to delay having children.
4. What does the age distribution of population mean?
Answer 4:
Age distribution, also called Age composition, in population studies, the
proportionate numbers of persons in successive age categories in a given population.
Age distributions differ among countries mainly because of differences in the levels
and trends of fertility.
5. List 5 differences between your standard of living and that of someone in a less-
developed country.
Answer 5:
List 5 differences between your standard of living and that of someone in a
less-developed country:
• Low Education
• Less Health care
• Inadequate Social network
• Less modern Technology
• Inadequate Nutrition.

4. 6. Why do people who live in overpopulated countries use plants as their main source of
food?
Answer 6:
People who live in overpopulated countries use plants as their main source of
food be cause they cannot afford the 90 percent of energy loss that happen when
plants are fed to animal. The same amount of grain can support 10 times more people
at herbivore level than at carnivore level.
7. Although predicting the future is difficult, describe what you think your life will be
like in 10 years. Why?
Answer 7:
Although predicting the future is difficult but I think my life will be have in 10
years such as a position in a company because there is a lot of area for growth, which
made me excited to apply for this role and it is a work that have surely place, and
make a family that has happiness in my life.
8. List five changes you might anticipate if world population were to double in the next
50 years.
Answer 8:
List five changes you might anticipate if world population were to double in
the next 50 years:
• We would adapt somehow to accommodate so many.
• We would have to build more cities and suburbs and towns to hold
everybody, as we do not have enough housing for everybody now. But
that also would be good, as it would help create the jobs that we need
anyway.
• It would advance our technologies in better support of a vaster and denser
world population. Not only will cars probably be electric and self-drive
by then, they might even be flying cars as well.
• More people would be able to experience life, and by simply letting the
human population double yet again, however fast that it wants to, there is
no need to pressure people to use birth control that they don’t want. Thus,
another reason to grow, is so that people needn’t bother with nasty and
awkward birth control.
• Hopefully, with there being so many people, and the human population
growing as fast as ever, pathetic whining about so-called
“overpopulation” would become tabooer and would decline. Hopefully
respect for naturally-large families would increase.
PART(B):

5. 9. Which three areas of the world have the highest population growth rate? Which three
areas of the world have the lowest standard of living?
Answer 9:
Three areas of the world have the highest population growth rate are South
Sudan, Burundi, Niger. Three areas of the world have the lowest standard of living are
Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Chad.
10. How many children per woman would lead to a stable U.S. population?
Answer 10:
There are 2 children per woman would lead to a stable U.S population.
11. What role does the status of women play in determining population growth rates?
Answer 11:
Women play a big role in the population rates. They are the ones who give
birth to all the children in the population. Similarly, the number in females is very
important, since they finally determine the number of offspring produced in the
population. In contrast, most of the developed world, women are more educated, so
they delay marriage and have a few children by choice.
12. Describe three reasons why women in the less-developed world might desire more
than two children.
Answer 12:
Describe three reasons why women in the less-developed world might desire
more than two children:
• They view children as workers
• Lots of children will take care them well in their old age
• Women in the less-developed countries are poor educated
