Question 23

what does stage one suggest on the population pyramid

Answer 23

Stage one usually occurs in LICs. This also suggests that people have bad jobs which contribute to their low quality of life. This creates a negative multiplier effect as a low quality of life results in nearly no use of contraception resulting in more births. Due to the terrible healthcare system in LICs there is a higher infant mortality rate due to increase in birth rate and a high death rate due to poor health care.

Question 24

Stage 2 Population Pyramid

Answer 24

high birth rates, and rapidly decreasing death rates due to better healthcare so there is high population growth this means lots of children can work on farms

Question 25

Stage 3 Population Pyramid

Answer 25

most NEEs are at this stage the birth rate falls rapidly due to contraception.

more women work instead of having children the economy changes from farming to manufacturing so fewer children work on farms.

improved healthcare so death rate falls and life expectancy increases

Question 26

stage 4 and 5 of population pyramid

Answer 26

most HICS are at one of these stages. Birth rates are low- people expect a high standard of living, and may have dependent elderly relatives, so there is less money available for having children

healthcare is good so the death rate is low and life expectancy is high
