Final answer:
False. Demographers expect population totals in less-developed countries to decline in the future due to decreasing birth rates and family sizes. Population growth rates are higher in developing countries but are still declining overall.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. Demographers fear that population totals in less-developed countries will actually decline in the future. This is because birth rates and family sizes have been decreasing in most developing countries as people move to urban areas and leave agricultural professions. Even though population growth rates are higher in developing countries than in developed countries, they are still declining. In fact, demographers expect the world's population to stabilize by 2100 and then decline somewhat.
