(1 point) Responses the total number of live births per 1,000 population at a given time the total number of live births per 1,000 population at a given time a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates a statistical measure of the average number of years a person is expected to live a statistical measure of the average number of years a person is expected to live a graphical representation of the population by age and sex
a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates
Which of the following is an example of a demographic factor that is commonly used to examine change in total population over time? (1 point) Responses Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution population pyramid population pyramid race/ethnicity race/ethnicity birth rate
birth rate
The correct answer is: a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
The correct choice that describes demographic transition is: a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the given options:
- Option 1: "Responses the total number of live births per 1,000 population at a given time" - This does not specifically describe demographic transition but rather refers to the measure of the birth rate at a specific time.
- Option 2: "The total number of live births per 1,000 population at a given time" - This is the same as option 1 and does not specifically describe demographic transition.
- Option 3: "A period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates" - This accurately describes demographic transition. It refers to the transition from a high population growth with high birth and death rates to a low population growth with low birth and death rates.
- Option 4: "A statistical measure of the average number of years a person is expected to live" - This describes life expectancy, which is unrelated to demographic transition.
- Option 5: "A graphical representation of the population by age and sex" - This describes a population pyramid, which is a graphical representation but does not specifically describe demographic transition.
By assessing the options, we can determine that option 3, "a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates," correctly describes demographic transition.
