Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Population momentum refers to the tendency of a population to continue to grow even after fertility rates have declined. The two main reasons for population momentum are a large proportion of young people, who will continue to have children for several decades even if the fertility rate decreases, and a disproportionate number of females, who have a higher life expectancy and are more likely to reach reproductive age.
