Today in human geo class we took notes on a demographic transition chart which describes any country and its transitioning. Being born at a high rate, but dying off young still makes the population grow. Birth control can be a factor in the population, other factors are: many children are needed for farming, children in developing countries are dying at a young age, religious/ social encouragement, or no family planning available. Changes in death rates are bad health care, diseases, not a lot of hospitals or clinics, and the flu or other sicknesses.
