Question

Using complete sentences, discuss why the populations of highly developed nations often decline. How does a nation’s level of development affect the country’s death rate?

Answer 1

Answer:The population of the world, now somewhat in excess of three billion persons, is growing at about two per cent a year, or faster than at any other period in man’s history. While there has been a steady increase of population growth during the past two or three centuries, it has been especially rapid during the past 20 years. To appreciate the pace of population growth we should recall that world population doubled in about 1,700 years from the time of Christ until the middle of the 17th century; it doubled again in about 200 years, doubled again in less than 100, and, if the current rate of population increase were to remain constant, would double every 35 years. Moreover, this rate is still increasing.

To be sure, the rate of increase cannot continue to grow much further. Even if the death rate were to fall to zero, at the present level of human reproduction the growth rate would not be much in excess of three and one-half per cent per year, and the time required for world population to double would not fall much below 20 years.

Although the current two per cent a year does not sound like an extraordinary rate of increase, a few simple calculations demonstrate that such a rate of increase in human population could not possibly continue for more than a few hundred years. Had this rate existed from the time of Christ to now, the world population would have increased in this period by a factor of about 7×1016; in other words, there would be about 20 million individuals in place of each

Answer 2

There are many important reasons why populations of highly developed countries decline. To number some, easy access to contraceptive method together with the a high level of female education makes birth control one important factor on population downward. Moreover, a stable economy improves lifestyle helping the population to choose professional careers thus focusing on different aspects but not making children.

On the other hand, it is important to mention that although the population in developed countries might be declining, the death rate is declining as well. As above mentioned, the lifestyle can be high and the aspects as shelter and a living space makes people healthier. Along with the economical growth comes the technological and health care advancement which greatly help the population of the developed countries to have easier and more affordable access to medical treatment making date rates lower.
