If a country’s total fertility rate (tfr) is measured at 1, what does this number most likely indicate about the country’s population? a. the country’s population is aging. b. the country’s population is growing. c. the country’s birth rate is far higher than the country's death rate. d. the country’s population is becoming younger on average.

The question is asking us, if a country’s total fertility rate (TFR) is measured at 1, what does this number most likely indicate about the country’s population? A total fertility rate is the number of children born per woman, and since there are about as many women as men, each woman should have 2 children to replace the population If the number is smaller than 2, then the population will be decreasing. The correct answer ist: A. The country’s population is aging because while a population size decreases, less young people are born and more elderly people remain (from the time when the birth rate was higher)
