Chapter 2 aphg

Chapter 2 Questions 1. The study of population is important for three reasons: 1) More people are alive at this time ? nearly 7 billion ? than at any point in Earth?s long history 2) The world?s population increased at a faster rate during the second half of the twentieth century than ever before in history 3) Virtually all global population growth is concentrated in LDC?s (lesser developed countries) At one point, more developed countries had children. Now lesser developed countries have higher amounts of children, and they don?t have the resources to raise these children. Population geographers are never wrong, always right.
