Question

In _______ countries, population growth rates are low, but the number of resources used per person is extremely high.

Answer 1

Answer: Developed

Explanation:

Developed countries tend to have a lower fertility rate due to lifestyle choices associated with economic affluence where mortality rates are low, birth control is easily accessible and children often can become an economic drain caused by housing, education costs and other cost involved in bringing up children (medical expenses, the time that has to be invested in bringing up children etc.).

People understand the costs of raising a child and therefore choose not to reproduce thus contributing to the low population growth.
