TFR and Birth Rates:a. Define the crude birth-rate and the total fertility rateSuppose country A and B have are identical in their population size andstructure, and rate of mortality, but A has a higher average TFR than B.b. What could be some of the reasons why A has a higher fertility ratethan B?c. What will be true about the size and age structure of the population in Arelative to B in 25 years? Will the proportion of young people to oldpeople be higher or lower in A?d. Now suppose the governments of both A and B impose a one-child policy(the TFR was greater than 1 in both A and B). Suppose the policy is fullyenforced (i.e. all families indeed have one kid). Is the fertility rate thesame in A and B? Is the birth rate same in A and B?e. Is the population growth rate higher or lower in A?f. As more time passes, the population growth will eventually slow down inboth countries. What will happen to the proportion of old in the populationas population growth slows down?
