Fertility Rate Lab

The world fertility rate right now is 3.20.

My low fertility rate country that I chose was Canada with a fertility rate of 1.8.

Canada is a more developed country, and has a stabilized age-structure diagram.  Population growth stays the same if couples on average have fewer than 2 children.  Life expectancy is fairly high, which also helps provide the stability.  There is an almost even number of females in the prereproductive, reproductive, and postreproductive phases.

10 things that describes a country with this type of growth rate might be :

balanced

good family structure

people survive long enough to see multiple generations

healthy

children get to be children

elderly are able to be cared for

healthy

good access to resources

organized

men and women are able to work

My high fertility rate country was Mali with a fertility rate of 7.30

Mali is a lesser developed country, with a low life expectancy of 45 years.  There are many more women in the reproductive years and prereproductive years than those leaving them, therefore there are significantly more younger people.
