Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreasing life expectancy is not a reason for population growth. In fact, increasing life expectancy would likely lead to population growth by allowing individuals to live longer and potentially have more children. Declining death rates, increasing birth rates, and reduced infant mortality are all reasons that could initially lead to population growth in the poorest DVCs.
