Two stable populations employ the same fertility schedule, but different mortality schedule. In both populations, 20% of women between exact ages 45-55 bear a female child annually. No child bearing occurs outside this span. In population A, there is no mortality until age 100 where all who reached age perish. In population B, 1% of each cohort dies within each single year of age with no survivors beyond age 100. Compute GRR, GRR and r for each population. ii) Determine the birth and death rate of each. Sketch the age distribution of each.
All of the following conclusions can be made about the population represented in the above age pyramid EXCEPT Select one: a. the wide base indicates a high birth rate b. death rates are only high in extreme old age c. the steep sides show the death rate is high for both the young and adults d. life expectancy is low with few people reaching old age
The following equation is used to calculate the population growth rate, Ro, per generation from a life table. Iy is survival probability from birth to age x and my is fecundity at age x. Ro = Elkm Multiplying ly and my and summing it over all age categories in the life table gives the population growth rate per generation because: Calculating the reproductive output for each age class requires considering the survival probability to that age (a dead individual does not reproduce) and the fecundity at that age by multiplying them with each other. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The fecundity at each age is lower when the survival is higher because of energy constraints. Multiplying probability of survival and fecundity in each age class takes this trade-off into account. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The resulting type of growth…
