Question

Choose all that apply.

It appears that most of the world's population growth is taking place in developing countries. Predict what effects this will likely have.

[]People in developing nations will become more wealthy.

[]More employment opportunities will arise.

[]There will be an increase in demand for access to basic goods and services.

[]More people are going to be living in poverty.

Answer 1

Developing countries usually have low HDI and population statistics than developed countries. They often have higher infant mortality rate and lower average life expectancy too. So what do you think is going to happen if a "developing" country is steadily growing in population when they already have poor Human-Development-Index and standards of living?

Answer 2

The correct answers are C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the continuous growth of developing country's population, it is likely that there will be a great increase in the demand for basic good and services.

Even now, people from developing countries are lacking these essential commodities; an increase in their population can only mean a greater shortage of resources.

At the same time, this would mean that more people will be living below the poverty line, without access to everything they need to lead a healthy and prosperous life.
