Document Summary
Anth 202 lesson 8: the life cycle. A common belief among hindus in india is that men are weakened by sexual intercourse because semen is a source of strength, and it takes a long time to replace even a drop. Yet, india has a high rate of population growth. the chinese government policy of urging parents to have only one child significantly decreased the population growth rate. It also increased the death rate of female infants to the extent that there is now a shortage of brides. The highest birth rates in the world are found among the mennonites and hutterites in the. In these christian groups, women on average bear nine children. Demography, the study of population dynamics in cross-cultural perspective. Demography includes three areas: fertility (births, or rate of population increase from reproduction): mortality (deaths, or rate of population decline in general or from particular causes), , migration (movement of people from one place to another).
