How do wars keep birth rates low?
People have fewer children during times of war.
Some wars take place on the land where people usually farm, how does this affect birth and death rates?
This means food is often in short supply during a war, so children could die (increasing death rate) and less babies could be born (decreasing birth rate)
People may move off land during war, where would they go and how would this affect a country’s birth and death rates?
They would live in cities or even leave the country, meaning whatever children they have after immigration would be added to the birth rate of their new home country, decreasing the birth rate of the country which they left.
What do wars prevent people from doing and how does this affect birth and death rates?
Wars prevent people from farming and living a normal life
= no food for families = children and mothers die = DR increases
= no time to conceive children = BR decreases
