The growth rate in the United States is low relative to manyother countries. Read the pamphlet âWorld Population: MoreThan Just Numbersâ and visit the website, âU.S.Census Bureau: International Data Base (IDB)â. Once in theIDB, select (one at a time) China, Mexico, and the United States(specifying the years as 1950, 2009, and 2050) and compare theshapes of the graphs for these countries, and how the shapes areprojected to change in the future.
Choose one of the graphs (at the IDB population pyramid site âmake sure to indicate the graph chosen). Explain what the shapes ofthat population pyramid tell about the population.
Based on your readings, would you expect a program to increasethe education of women within the population to lead to changes inthe shape of the population pyramid? Explain your answer. What ifthere was an increase in the education of men?
In your opinion, what strategies would be most effective incontrolling population growth in undeveloped countries?
Is the low rate of population growth a problem in the U.S.? Whyor why not?
