Population Growth is a term used to say how a country's population, or amount of living humans, grows within a certain amount of time. The number can be positive, negative, or break even (balanced).
Developed Countries, such as the United States of America, Canada, and Great Britain, are countries with electricity, technology, some form of health care for its citizens, proper waste disposal, and/or general infrastructure. (Dictionary.com's definition of infrastructure: "The basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as transportation and communications systems, water and power lines, and public institutions including schools, post offices, and prisons.")
Developing Countries are countries that are usually in Africa or countries defined as "third-world" countries. They lack what developed countries have, especially the very basics of infrastructure.
In developed countries, the population usually is slightly positive (about +.1%, maybe +.3% in some cases) or breaks even. This means that the population grows very slowly. In developing countries, the numbers are negative. In Trinidad and Tabago, the 2008 growth rate estimate was approximately -.89%.
Developing countries have negative numbers because of war, disease, famine, infant death syndrome, low life expectancy rates, and other factors.
Population growth should be even between males and females. Population pyramids can best display the way males and females are distributed in a country.
For an example, you can look at the link posted at the bottom of this page.
The United States population pyramid states the following for 2000:
Males and Females over 80 years old:
Males: 3 million. Females: 7 million
The males have a significantly lower rate because that age group experienced war. Males in the United States are drafted during war, so many of the male population died.
After war, people have the instinct to repopulate so there are small "baby booms", meaning a jump in the number of babies.
Males and Females 45-49 years old:
Males: 11 million. Females: 11.5 million.
This age group has a similar number of males and females, as it is required in a working society.
What else can I help you with?
Which countries population is increasing?
Countries with increasing populations include Nigeria, India, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These countries have high birth rates and declining death rates, contributing to their population growth.
The subregion of Latin America with the lowest population growth rates is?
The subregion of Latin America with the lowest population growth rates is the Southern Cone, which includes countries like Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. These countries have relatively low birth rates and aging populations, resulting in slower population growth compared to other parts of Latin America.
What parts of the world currently have the fastest and slowest population growth?
As of now, some parts of Africa, particularly countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, have the fastest population growth rates. On the other hand, parts of Europe and East Asia, such as countries like Italy and Japan, are experiencing slow population growth rates or even population decline due to factors like low birth rates and an aging population.
Which of these statements represents the population growth rates in the 1990s?
In the 1990s, many countries experienced declining population growth rates due to factors such as increased access to family planning and education for women. However, some regions, like parts of Africa and Asia, continued to have high population growth rates during this decade.
Why are the most populated cities in the world located in developed nations?
Most populated cities in developed nations often have strong economic opportunities, better infrastructure, and higher standards of living, which attract people from rural areas and other regions. Developed nations also tend to have better healthcare, education, and social welfare systems that support population growth and attract migrants from other countries. Additionally, historical factors such as colonialism and industrialization have contributed to the concentration of population in these cities.
What do you notice about the population growth rate of the developing countries?
The population growth rate of developing countries tends to be higher than that of developed countries. Factors such as high fertility rates, improved healthcare leading to lower mortality rates, and limited access to family planning services contribute to this faster growth in developing nations. This can put pressure on resources and infrastructure in these countries.
examples of developed and developing countries?
Developed countries are those with a high HDI and have a high degree of industrialization and GDP. Developing countries are those with significant gdp growth and recent and growing industrialization.
Will most of the future population growth will take place in industrialized countries?
No, almost all growth will take place in the less developed regions.
Why are population growth rates in south Korea and Taiwan different from those in cambodia?
Cambodia is a developing country while South Korea and Taiwan are developed countries. Developing countries usually have higher reproductive rates because in developing countries, people marry earlier and have more children to help with bringing money into the home.
How might the population growth rates of developing countries be affected as they become increasingly industrialized?
as developing countries with high populations become more industrialized pollution will increase.
The average population growth rate for developed nations is how much?
The average population growth rate for developed nations is typically low, often ranging from 0% to 1% per year. Many developed countries experience stagnation or even decline in population due to low birth rates and aging populations. Some nations may see slight increases due to immigration, but overall growth rates remain modest compared to developing nations.
Economic growth is the aspiration of all developing countries Discuss whether it is always better to have economic growth in all economy?
I think economic growth is an aspiration in an developing countries I think economic growth is an aspiration in an developing countries
What strategies can be implemented to reduce population growth in developing countries?
Implementing comprehensive sex education programs, increasing access to contraceptives, promoting women's education and empowerment, improving healthcare services, and addressing socio-economic factors can help reduce population growth in developing countries.
What is the difference in energy consumption and population growth between developed and undeveloped countries?
Bubbles and dicks and cheeses
What are the roles that developing or developed nations play in world population growth?
Developing nations provide education and health programmes to control birth rate by better facilities to the world.
Three reasons why there is a concern of the plight of developing countries?
Developing countries often lack resources and infrastructure to address challenges like poverty, health epidemics, and environmental degradation effectively. Inequality between developed and developing countries can lead to exploitation and perpetuate a cycle of poverty. Global issues such as climate change and trade policies can disproportionately impact developing countries, exacerbating their challenges.
Will developing countries be able to improve levels of living given anticipated population growth?
due to lack of education and increase poverty developing countries will mot develop due to an increases corruption and embezzlement of funds thorough government members developing countries will not develop
