The reason why there are high birth rates in less economically developed countries is because people in poor countries cant afford to buy sexual protection materials such as condoms, also some women get raped.

What does it mean when a country has a high birth rate?
It means that few people in that country have kids, so their population is decreasing.
What is it called if the birthrate and death rate are equal?
Population stabilization: Common term for zero population growth, in which the birth rate equals the death rate and in addition where net immigration equals net emigration so that the population does not increase or decrease over time. Usually used in the context of stabilizing increasing populations.http://www.susps.org/overview/population_terms.html
The graying of America?
The so-called graying of America is a result of the massive baby boom after World War II and the relatively low birth rate in recent generations. As a result of this and other factors that extend life, there are a great number of elderly in the United States.
What are some reasons for high birth rates in developing countries?
Poor education, Women have no careers, no contraception, farmers need many children to work land, high infant mortality rates so more babies born. Many Developing countries are Hindu or Arab so large families encouraged. In Tribal African communities large families give status.
Why is western Europe so densely populated?
Europe has seen a major population growth, mainly in the west, due to birth rates and migration over the years which resulted in high population density, high population and small area = high population density. The population density of Western Europe is about 110 people per square kilometre.
Why is the birth rate in Kenya higher than Italy?
in many LEDCs (less economically developed countries) this is the case. this is due to high infant mortality (death a birth) caused by poor health care. so many families have a number of babies as there is a high chance they will die
Why is China's birth rate so high?
because
Why is the birth rate Saudi Arabia so high and what does it mean?
because it is an Islamic country
How did LEDCs get into debt with MEDCs?
ledcs ask medcs for money if they need it but over time, medcs charge more and more interest and so the ledcs can't pay it back. medcs also bargain for their resources so when the ledcs are left in debt, with no control over their resources, they end up in poverty.
What are three factors that have caused the worlds population to grow so rapidly?
the birth rate is so high the weather and medical science!
Is it possible for a population with a high birth rate to decrease in size explain?
I guess it is if you are in war or your country is tortured by a disease. Then many people will be killed in war/get infected and die. After that even if the birth rate is high, the death rate would be higher so the population will decrease in size. It is possible. (Sorry for not professional answer.)

What is immortality rate?
It is basically the birth rate so immortality rate=birth rate While mortality rate =Death rate (just think only mortals can die)
Why are people in MEDC's having less children than people in LEDC's?
Birth rate refers to how many children are born per 1000 people, so higher birth rates result from anything influencing this 'choice'. reasons why LEDCs have a higher birth rate are both due to a falling birth rate in many MEDCs as well as increasing birth rates in LEDCs. One: sex and age - If women are within child-bearing age (18-25 I suppose is accurate) they are more likely to have children and less likely to lose the child. This can explain differences between LEDCs and MEDCs as in LEDCs there is a greater proportion of younger women than in MEDCs in their population, which will in turn increase births per 1000 people. Two: Economic reasons. In MEDCs less people are having children, as they give an 'opportunity cost' (i.e. if a family have a child they may not be able to move into a larger house, for example, due to needing the money for raising the child). In LEDCs children can instead be seen as an economic asset, particularly in rural agrarian cultures where more children means an extra pair of hands to work the land. Both are significant; the first in deterring births in MEDCs and the second incentivising them in LEDCs. Three: Social reasons. Firstly, there is evidence to support that with gender equality fertility rates fall, thus birth rates also fall. It is the same with education of women. Both give women a choice on whether or not to have children, making it less of a part of life, which will inevitably lead to some deciding against having children. This is less the case in LEDCs, explaining why more women have children here than in MEDCs. Secondly, it can also be seen favourably for men to have a lot of children, pushing both men and women to have more children to achieve a higher social status (the case in many parts of Africa). Thirdly, if expectations are that half of your children will die before adulthood, you are likely to have more to ensure the family can continue - with higher infant mortality in LEDCs a lot of women choose to have more children to ensure that at least one survives (which is not the case in MEDCs). Finally, contraception plays a vital role both in availibility and willingness - certain cultures will frown upon contraception for religious reasons (many of these in LEDCs), and LEDCs are less likely to invest in family planning, so people are less aware of measures they can take to have less children.

Literacy rate in Poland is so high because there is a compulsory schooling for all children.
China's birth rate?
well, its birth rate is so fast that if you were to have them line up to shake all their hands, the line would be never ending.
