Write short notes on the following
Correlation between birth rate and death rate

Answer 1

The birth rate refers to the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given year, while the death rate refers to the number of deaths per 1,000 people in the same time period. In a population, when the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population grows. Conversely, if the death rate exceeds the birth rate, the population declines. In countries undergoing demographic transition, both birth rates and death rates fall, leading to slower population growth.
