Question

Africa and Asia:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Out of the options given, the only statement that is accurate is that Africa and Asia are home to nearly 90 percent of the world's rural population. According to the World Bank, as of 2021, more than 80% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa and nearly 50% of the population in South Asia live in rural areas. While both continents have experienced urbanization in recent years, the overall rate of urbanization is still lower than other regions such as Europe and Latin America. Additionally, both Africa and Asia have relatively high fertility rates, and their economies have been characterized by instability and fluctuation. Finally, while Africa and Asia are home to significant populations, they are not the least populated continents - that distinction goes to Australia and Antarctica.
