In this illustration, is the high fertility rate of Africa.
In this illustration is the low fertility rate country of Belgium.
1. What was your high fertility rate country and what was its fertility rate?
- Africa was my high fertility rate country, its rate was 5.92.
- Africa was my high fertility rate country, its rate was 5.92.
2. What was your low fertility rate country and what was its fertility rate?
- Belgium was my low fertility rate country, its rate was 1.6
3. The initial demographic "shape" of your high fertility rate country should have been a pyramid, with high population in young age groups. Explain why high fertility rate results in a high percentage of young people in the population. How does this affect future population growth?

- There are a higher percentage in young people because there is more reproducing per person, this will also continue and the population will increase over time.
4. Your low fertility rate country might have had a more oval-shaped curve with high population in middle age groups. This is especially exaggerated if the fertility rate is below 2.00. Explain why low fertility rate leads to lots of middle-aged people.
-People are reproducing less, at a slower rate, over years so middle aged category will increase and older people will die of natural causes.

5. Write ten adjectives or descriptive phrases for what you might expect life, people's attitudes, conditions on the streets, etc. will be like in each of those situations. Imagine a situation with lots of middle-aged and older people in the population and write ten quick "brain-storm" descriptors for you think it would be like (Prescott, Arizona?). Then do the same for a situation with lots of children in the population.
- middle-aged and older- responsible, slow, old, boring, organized, strict, clean, hardworking, doesn’t adapt easily to change.
- young people - energetic, irresponsible, fun, adapts easy, messy, spontaneous, loud, school, active, fast food.
