Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The demographic transition view suggests that population growth will decline only after incomes have risen first due to the use of birth control techniques. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Option A is incorrect as it only talks about the use of birth control techniques and does not mention the role of rising incomes. Option B is incorrect as it implies that population growth will decline only due to high mortality rates, which is not necessarily true in the case of developed countries. Option D is also incorrect as population growth has a significant impact on a nation's per capita income.
