Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Populations in many developed countries are projected to decline in the coming years, due to factors such as low birthrates and low levels of immigration. For example, between 2010 and 2050, Japan's population is projected to decline from 127 million to 95 million, Russia's from 141 million to 124 million, and Germany's from 81 million to 72 million. Countries that have admitted large numbers of immigrants-such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia-are projected to have continued population growth due to the younger age and higher birthrates of their immigrant populations. For example, between 2010 and 2050, the U.S. population is projected to grow from 322 million to 398 million, and Canada's from 36 million to 44 million.
