Answer 1

The most likely options are the second and last choices. I am leaning toward the second choice, though.

Answer 2

The correct answers are: Some developed countries are below replacement rate, more deaths than births, and the trend is expected to continue of developing countries having many young people.

Today the population is more than 7 billion people. Life expectancy has increased due to the correct treatment of diseases. Today there are more young people in the planet like never before in history. This brings new opportunities and challenges for countries and their economies. There are almost 1.8 billion people between 10 and 24 years old. Most of them live in developing countries. And the tendendy is that this number could be increasing in the following years. In the least developing countries, the majority of people are young men and women –children or teenagers- that live in poverty.
