Instructions Refer to the current World Population Data (2022) by the Population Reference Bureau posted on Canvas to answer the following questions. There are three pages and seven questions to this assignment. How Do Demographic Characteristics Vary Among World Regions? 1. Calculate the percentage (to the nearest whole number) of the world's population currently (2022) living in less developed countries and that are expected to live in less developed countries in 2035 and in 2050. On the first sheet of data, take the population living in less developed countries and divide it by the world population. 2022:_________________2035: _______________ 2050: _______________ 2. Rank the following regions according to the demographic characteristics, in the chart below. Rates can be found in the World Population Data Sheet: Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America, Europe. Again, this will be on the first sheet of data. Rank Crude Birth Rate Crude Death Rate Rate of Natural Increase Region Rate Region Rate Region Rate Highest 2nd Highest Middle 2nd Lowest Lowest 3. Find the country with the highest crude birth rate and fill in the name of the country and the rate in the chart below. If there is more than one country with the same rate, select any one of the countries. Do the same for the highest crude death rate and the lowest crude birth and death rates. Highest Lowest Hi-Low Country Rate Country Rate CBR CDR 4. Subtract the lowest rate from the highest rate for both crude births and deaths and enter in the chart above. 5. Is the difference between more developed countries and less developed countries greater for the crude birth rate or the crude death rate? Why do you think this is? Is There Correlation Between Demographic Indicators and Economic Well-Being? 6. Refer again to the current World Population Data Sheet to complete the chart below: CBR CDR RNI GNI PPP/capita* Afghanistan Canada Chad Australia Hong Kong (China) Puerto Rico Palau Coast Rica Tuvalu Zambia *GNI PPP refers to gross national income converted to "international" dollars using a purchasing power parity conversion factor. International dollars indicate the amount of goods and services one could buy in the United States with a given amount of money. 7. In general, what is the relationship between each indicator and GNI PPP/capita? Phrase your response in the form of three generalizations. [for example, "the higher the CBR, the...the GNI PPP/capita"]
