Despite the decline in the rate of world population growth, population continues to grow rapidly. Explain why this might be the case.
What will be an ideal response?
There is a distinction between a population’s rate of growth and its level of
fertility—the average number of children born to women in a population. A drop in
fertility does not mean fewer numbers of children are born because earlier high levels of
growth often result in a population with a large proportion of young adults in the prime
of their childbearing years.
