Growth Rate

Cultural norms regarding family size impact population growth.

Societies where large families are common may experience higher population growth.

Increasing education levels, especially for women, correlates with a rise in the average marriage age.

Women who marry later tend to have fewer children, contributing to a lower birth rate.

Access to hospitals, doctors, and health services influences child survival rates.

Improved healthcare can increase the overall growth rate by ensuring more children survive into adulthood.

The age distribution in a population influences its growth rate.

Countries with a higher percentage of people aged 15 to 45 tend to grow faster.

Nations with a higher percentage of elderly individuals may experience slower growth, like Japan.

Economic stability can affect family size preferences.

A strong economy provides more job and education opportunities, reducing the need for large families.

Areas with a high proportion of employed females may have a lower population growth rate.
