a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates
What is the formula for determining the GDP per capita of a place?(1 point) Responses the average life span in a place divided by its birth rate the average life span in a place divided by its birth rate the total wealth of the place divided by the total population the total wealth of the place divided by the total population male population of a place divided by its total population male population of a place divided by its total population the total population of a place divided by its land area the total population of a place divided by its land area
The formula for determining the GDP per capita of a place is the total wealth of the place divided by the total population.
The correct answer is: a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
The correct answer is: a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
To understand demographic transition, we need to understand how a society's population changes over time. Demographic transition refers to a specific pattern that many societies have gone through, characterized by a shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
To get this answer, you could have eliminated the other options by process of elimination:
- Option 1, a graphical representation of the population by age and sex, does not capture the concept of demographic transition. It is more related to population pyramids or age-sex distributions.
- Option 2, the total number of live births per 1,000 population at a given time, focuses on a specific measure of birth rates but does not encompass the broader pattern of demographic transition.
- Option 3, a statistical measure of the average number of years a person is expected to live, refers to life expectancy, which is a separate concept from demographic transition.
- Option 4, a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates, accurately describes demographic transition.
Therefore, the correct answer is the fourth option: a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
