3.TFR and Birth Rates:
a.Define the crude birth-rate and the total fertility rate
Suppose country A and B have are identical in their population size and structure, 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 rate than B?
c.What will be true about the size and age structure of the population in A relative to B in 25 years? Will the proportion of young people to old people 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 fully enforced (i.e. all families indeed have one kid). Is the fertility rate the same 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 in both countries. What will happen to the proportion of old in the population as population growth slows down?
Homework Answers
Crude birth rate is the number of live births occuring among the population of an area in a year per 1000 mid year total population of the given area during the same year.
Total fertility rate is the total number of children born or likely to be born to a woman in her lifetime if she were subject to the prevailing rate of age specific fertility in the population
B- reason for higher tfr can range from better sanitation and health facilities, more nutrition as well as genetic reasons.
C- The size of the population will be larger in A due to higher TFR. As more kids are born, it will also reduce the age of the population. The population will be younger.
D- No, the TFR is not the same. It is still higher in A as TFR measure the potential number of children that can be born. The birth rate is the same.
E- The population growth rate is higher in A
D- The population of old will increase with a slowing down of the population growth as fewer young people will be there.

Suppose that the rate of major congenital malformations in the general population is 2.5 malformations per 100 deliveries. (a) A study is set up to investigate if the offspring of Vietnam-veteran fathers are at special risk of having congenital malformations. 100 infants are identified in a birth registry as being offspring of Vietnam-veteran fathers and 4 have a major congenital malformation. We say there is an excess risk of malformations in this group if the probability of observing 4 or...

1. Consider a country that is initially in steady state. Suppose the saving rate increases. Moreover, the population growth rate increases by 1% but the capital depreciation rate falls by 1%. According to the Solow–Swan model, the per capita capital stock increases, and the country moves to a new, higher steady state level of per capita income. Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answer. 2. Consider the country of Solow, which is described by the Solow–Swan model....
