Countries experiencing negative population growth are most likely to have:
-
A greater percentage of children than adults
-
The same percentage of children as adults
-
A lower percentage of children than adults
Correct Answer
A. A lower percentage of children than adultsExplanation
Countries experiencing negative population growth are most likely to have a lower percentage of children than adults because negative population growth indicates that the number of deaths and emigration are higher than the number of births and immigration. This leads to a decrease in the overall population, and since children make up a significant portion of the population, their percentage would be lower compared to adults.Rate this question:
