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.
Is it better to have a higher death rate?
No because when the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population will decrease.
What are three causes of population growth?
Infant mortality rate decreasing due to improved medical care. Death rate decreasing due to higher living conditions and medical care. High birth rate in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) due to large sized family traditions and culture
How do birth rate and death rate affect a country's population?
If the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population increases. If the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population decreases.
When the death rate is higher than the birthrate?
The population decreases when the death rate is higher than the birthrate.
What best describes the population at point B?
The birth rate is higher than the death rate.
What is one cause of a country population increase?
a higher birthrate then Death Rate.
How can you use death rate in a sentence?
In some countries, the death rate is higher because of disease.
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 death rate is a factor that affecting the population growth?
The higher the death rate is, the fewer people there are on the Earth.
Why is the birth rate so high in Brazil?
Brazil has a huge population because the enourmous country Brazil is, but there only live about 23 people per square km. You´ll maybe think that´s very little amount for cities like Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro etc... but for example in the Amazonas very little people live there. Less than 2 per square km this does that only life 23 people estimately per square km. The main reasons are because the weather and that people want to visit places like Brasilia, then they like it stay there and form a huge family which increases the population
What describes the population at point c?
The Birth Rate is higher than the Death Rate.
