Using the demographic terms presented in this chapter, compare and contrast the populations of highly developed and
less developed countries. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: Highly developed countries have low birth rates, relatively low
infant mortality rates, lower replacement-level fertility, longer life expectancies, higher per
capita GNI PPPs, age structure diagrams with a relatively narrow base, and may have a
stationary population; less developed countries have high birth rates, relatively high infant
mortality rates, higher replacement-level fertility, shorter life expectancies, lower per capita
GNI PPPs, age structure diagrams with relatively broad bases, and growing populations.
