Describe the stages of a typical population growth curve.

If a population triples in size in a year, what is the per capita growth rate?

Which compares to the age structure of less developed and higher developed countries, specifying the x and y axis. Give an example of natioins with these types of age structure diagrams. What does a high fertility rate tell you about the future of this population.

Review the age structure graphs shown in Figure 5-15. How do patterns in the graphs indicate the rate that a population is increasing or decreasing?
