Population Growth
14.2 Explain why the Least Industrialized Nations have so many children, consequences of rapid population growth, population pyramids, the three demographic variables, and problems in forecasting population growth. Even if starvation is the result of a maldistribution of food rather than overpopulation, the Least Industrialized Nations are still growing much faster than the Most Industrialized Nations. Without immigration, it would take several hundred years for the average Most Industrialized Nation to double its population, but just 50 years for the average Least Industrialized Nation to do so. Figure 14.5 puts the matter in stark perspective. Figure 14.5 World Population Growth, 1750–2150
