Unit 4 Online Lab



1. What was your high fertility rate country and what was its fertility rate?
There are many countries that have a high fertility rate. The one I picked was the Soviet Union and it has a fertility rate of 2.29
2. What was your low fertility rate country and what was its fertility rate? The country that I selected for low fertility rate was Iraq and has a fertility rate of 7.00
3. Explain why high fertility rate results in a high percentage of young people in the population. How does this affect future population growth? I think that high fertility rates happen to younger people is because of unplanned pregnance.
4. Explain why low fertility rate leads to lots of middleaged people. I think that low fertility rates result in middleaged people because they have already started a family or have a good career and dont have time to have a baby.
5. Write ten adjectives or descriptive phrases for what you might expect life, people's attitudes, conditions on the streets, etc. will be like in each of those situations. Imagine a situation with lots of middle aged and older people in the population and write ten quick brain storm descriptors that you think it would be like. Then do the same for a situation with lots of children in the population.
Very few elementary schools and high schools, wouldnt need jobs working with children, putting time into other activities such as golfing, fishing, ect..., wouldnt be a lot of toys in the stores to buy, music would be different, television would change, video game sales would decline, fashion, electronics, and housing.
A lot of schools, would need a lot of jobs that deal with children, food, toys, the music would be for younger children, sports, out door activities, fashion, and bigger houses,
