Teachers Guide: Discussion Questions
What percentage of the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States, and Germany are 0–4 years old?
Which of the three countries has the greatest proportion of people ages 65 and older?
ReadingHow can the age-sex structure of a population help determine the needs of that population?
What does it mean to have a “young” or “old” population?
How can migration affect the shape of a pyramid?
What is “zero population growth”? Which pyramid represents this concept?
DataThe dependency ratio is a measure used to indicate the ratio of people in the “dependent” ages (under 15 and ages 65 and older) per 100 people in the “economically productive” ages (15–64 years of age). The formula for the dependency ratio is:
The age dependency ratio for the United States is shown below at 49.
This means that there were 49 people in the dependent ages for every 100 persons in the working ages.
Calculate the dependency ratios for Kenya, Germany, Brazil, and Japan. Compare the components of each of them.
DiscussionDiscuss the implications of high or low dependency ratios for economic resources and development.
Question and Answer: Why Does It Take So Long to Slow or Stop Population Growth?
Growth through natural increase occurs when the birth rate exceeds the death rate. For example, the U.S. birth rate in 2005 was 14 births per 1,000 people and the death rate was 8, yielding a net increase of six persons for every 1,000 persons in the United States, or approximately 1.7 million additional persons for that year. This rate of natural increase occurred in spite of a very small average family size measured by the total fertility rate—an estimate of the number of births to women during their lifetimes.
The rate of natural increase of a population depends on birth and death rates, which are strongly influenced by the population age structure. Births occur primarily to people in the younger-adult age groups. If there are comparatively more young adults than older adults where mortality is highest, then even at replacement fertility levels (when each woman has about an average of two children) there will be more births than deaths.
Hence, a relatively large number of couples each having one or two children can still produce a large excess of births. This phenomenon is known as population momentum.
In the United States, birth rates are higher than death rates at present, partly due to the relatively young age structure of the U.S. population. Immigrants, who are younger on average than the U.S.-born population, play a significant role in keeping the United States younger than most other developed countries. For example, among U.S. Hispanics, 40 percent of whom are foreign-born, there are approximately 10 births for every death.
The momentum of population growth in less developed countries will only be slowed when the large number of young adults resulting from previous high fertility have passed out of the childbearing years and a succeeding smaller generation reproduces at replacement level fertility. This momentum is very pronounced in China, where women have about two children, but the number of women having children is now much larger than in the previous generation. Thus, even though it has reached replacement level fertility, China’s population continues to grow.

The composition of a population as determined by the number or proportion of males and females in each age category. The age-sex structure of a population is the cumulative result of past trends in fertility, mortality, and migration. Information on age-sex composition is essential for the description and analysis of many other types of demographic data.
A dramatic increase in fertility rates and in the absolute number of births. In the United States this occurred during the period following World War II (1946 to 1964).
The number of live births per 1,000 population in a given year. Not to be confused with the growth rate.

Editor's Note:This post was updated on April 18, 2022 to correct the data point related to international migration in 2020-21 (244,622).
America’s population size is standing still, according to
new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population growth over the 12-month period from July 1, 2020 through July 1, 2021 stood at unprecedented low of just 0.12%. This is the lowest annual growth since the Bureau began collecting such statistics in 1900, and reflects how all components of population change—deaths, births, and immigration levels—were impacted during a period when the COVID-19 pandemic became most prevalent.[i]

Senior Fellow - Brookings Metro
The new estimates show that during this period, population growth declined from the previous year in 31 of 50 states as well as Washington, D.C., with 18 states sustaining absolute population losses. In some states, especially California and New York, population losses were exacerbated by inflated out-migration during the pandemic, just as other states such as Florida and Texas benefitted from greater population in-flows.
While COVID-19 clearly played a role in this near-zero population growth, that growth had begun to plummet even before the pandemic. The 2020 census showed that from 2010 to 2020, the U.S. registered the second-lowest decade growth in its history—a consequence, in large part, of the aging of its population, which led to more deaths and fewer births. Nonetheless, the new data shows that pandemic-related demographic forces have left an indelible mark on the nation.
HISTORIC DIPS AND SPIKES IN POPULATION GROWTH FOLLOW PANDEMICS AND ECONOMIC TRENDS
The unprecedented near cessation of U.S. population growth is depicted in Figure 1, which charts annual growth rates in the 121-year period from 1900 to 2021. Over this time, the nation experienced wide variations in growth, resulting from wars, economic booms and busts, as well as changing fertility and immigration patterns.

Noteworthy are the sharp dips in growth: in 1918-19, due largely to the Spanish Flu pandemic, and in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a result of the Great Depression. Growth rose to levels approaching 2% during the prosperous post-World War II “baby boom” years of the 1950s and 1960s. And after a lull in the 1970s and 1980s, population growth rose again in the 1990s due to rising immigration and millennial generation births.
The 21st century ushered in another population growth downturn, exacerbated by the 2007-09 Great Recession. This spilled into a 2010s decade-wide growth slowdown that provided a backdrop for the nearly flat growth of 0.12% in 2020-21. This most recent statistic reflects more deaths and fewer births associated with an aging population along with greater restrictions in immigration near the end of the decade, even before the pandemic hit.
Guys, does anyone know the answer?
