5.  Because of the huge differences in the population of these countries we have to convert from total births to the birth rate so we are able to compare. Formula for Birth Rate…

16. The concept of compounding is powerful and important in demography since it is used to calculate the doubling time of population. Doubling time is an estimate of the number of years needed for a country’s population to double in size.

18.  Use the examples on page 42 and calculate the demographic indicators on page 43.
