Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
According to numerous research studies and various statistics, developing countries tends to have higher population growth rates due to several factors such as lack of family planning, religious beliefs, superstitions.
While the developed countries tend to have lower population growth rates due to various factors such as social structure, economic prosperity and urbanisation and abortion rates.
Also, it has been concluded that lifestyle choices associated with economic affluence plays a major factor. This is because as mortality rates are low, birth control is easily accessible and children becoming an economic burden in the developed countries, caused by housing, education cost and other cost involved in bringing up children, people in developed countries tend to have lesser children which in turn affect population growth.
Hence, it is FALSE, that the population growth rate tends to be higher in developed countries than in developing countries.
