Question

The following table lists the birth rate, death rate, and net migration rate for Egypt over the past 20 years.

Answer 1

A. The annual growth rate in Egypt in 1990 was 31 - 9 = 22 per 1,000 people. The estimated annual growth rate in 2010 is 25 - 5 = 20 per 1,000 people.

B. I feel like Egypt is in the third stage (Late Developing) in the Demographic transition model because the birth and death rate was higher but then as time progressed, they both started to level out. In order for Egypt to advance in the model, they will have to have a developed country (urbanization) and lower their birth/death rates through the use of birth controls and healthcare.
