Classify the characteristics of countries that affect population growth as either those that increase or decrease population growth.

Classification of characteristics that affect the population growth as either those of increase or decreasing are given as under.

Explanation:

Population size and density

Spatial distribution

Age structure

Death rate and Birth rate

Sex ratio.

Population size and density depends on the population growth over a period of time such as in developing countries have high rate of population growth as compared to that of developed countries. Similarly, Spatial distribution for population over the area affects the patterns of growth rate. This is also varied in nature from one country to another country population dispersal either may increase due to the immigration effect or decline due to emigration effect. Age structure is another fundamental aspect of the population growth as Developed countries have more aged people as compared to that of the less developed countries probably due to access of resources. Also most important factor being is the birth and death rates of population. Impacted by fertility rates and morality rates. Last being the sex ratio which is expressed as the number of female per males as to 1000 population in a given region at a given point of time.
