Question
Consider the age structure diagrams for counties (a) and (b). Which diagram is consistent with negative growth momentum? Why?
Step 1
Negative growth momentum refers to a situation where the population is decreasing over time. This can be due to a variety of factors, but most commonly it is due to a low birth rate. Show more…

Draw a graph showing the age structure of a population that is growing rapidly and a graph of a population that is stable.
• Age structure diagrams for two hypothetical populations are shown. Describe the growth rate of each population and discuss the current and future social and economic problems that each is likely to face.
Make a rough sketch of the age distribution in developing versus developed countries, and explain why the shapes of the diagrams are different. How is AIDS, which is a sexually transmitted disease, affecting the age distribution in countries hard hit by the epidemic?
