11. Consider 5 human populations that differ demographically
only in their age structures. The population that will grow the most
in the next 30 years is the one with the greatest fraction of people in which
age group? Explain your answer.
a. 10-20
b. 20-30
c. 30-40
d. 40-50
e. 50-60
The best answer is a. Individuals aged
10-20 years old will be able to reproduce by age 12-13 in many cases and are
able to reproduce until age 45-50 (females). Thus the country with the higher
percentage of its population in this age group will increase its population
fastest.
