Question

Which of the following statements regarding the future of populations in developing, less industrialized countries are correct?

I) The reproductive rates are predicted to remain below replacement level.
II) Survivorship will increase.
III) Overall population size will increase dramatically.
IV) The fertility rate is predicted to remain high, especially in some regions

Answer 1

In developing countries, the fertility rate is predicted to remain high, survivorship will increase, and overall population size will increase dramatically.

Step-by-step explanation:

In developing, less industrialized countries, the following statements regarding the future of populations are correct:

1. The fertility rate is predicted to remain high, especially in some regions. This means that the number of births is expected to remain high, contributing to population growth.
2. Survivorship will increase. This means that a larger proportion of individuals will reach reproductive age and have the opportunity to contribute to population growth.
3. Overall population size will increase dramatically. Despite declining fertility rates in some countries, the large base population will still result in population growth.

Answer 2

II) Survivorship will increase.

III) Overall population size will increase dramatically.

IV) The fertility rate is predicted to remain high, especially in some regions

Step-by-step explanation:

The least industrialized or developing countries have a very high birth rate. This is because these countries have ineffective public policies in relation to the labor market and health. Many of its inhabitants have little access to information and sex education, as well as low access to effective contraceptive methods, which makes the birth rate in these countries very high. This will cause the size of the population to grow dramatically, especially in less industrialized and modern regions. As a result, the country's survival rate will increase considerably, since its citizens will exist in large numbers.
