- One of the following is considered one of the features of the developed countries:
-
A) Low crude birth rate (20-40/1000)
-
B) High infant mortality rate
-
C) Low percentage of elderly people >65
-
D) Low percentage of children
-
E) Low infant mortality rate
Correct Answer
A. E) Low infant mortality rateExplanation
Low infant mortality rate is considered one of the features of developed countries because it reflects the quality of healthcare and overall living conditions in a country. Developed countries usually have better access to healthcare facilities, advanced medical technology, and higher standards of living, which contribute to lower infant mortality rates. This indicates that infants in these countries have a higher chance of surviving their first year of life compared to infants in less developed countries.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. C) Old population, graying nationExplanation
The correct answer is C) Old population, graying nation. This answer accurately describes countries that have a large proportion of people in the older age groups (>65) as having an "old population" and being a "graying nation." This suggests that the country's population is aging and there is a significant increase in the number of elderly individuals.Rate this question:

- As a result of socioeconomic development , disease pattern shifts from :
-
A) Communicable disease to infectious diseases
-
B) non- communicable disease to infectious diseases
-
C) communicable diseases to chronic diseases
-
D) infectious diseases to non- communicable disease
-
E) C+D
Correct Answer
A. E) C+DExplanation
Socioeconomic development can lead to changes in disease patterns. As countries develop and improve their living conditions, the prevalence of communicable diseases tends to decrease while the incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases increases. This is because better sanitation, access to clean water, and improved healthcare reduce the spread of communicable diseases. At the same time, lifestyle changes associated with development, such as sedentary behavior and unhealthy diets, contribute to the rise of chronic non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Therefore, the correct answer is E) C+D, which represents the shift from communicable diseases to chronic non-communicable diseases as a result of socioeconomic development.Rate this question:

B) Many children needed for farming
-
C) Many children die at early age
-
D) Social encouragement
-
E) All of the above is correct
Correct Answer
A. E) All of the above is correctExplanation
The birth rate in stage 2 can be influenced by various factors. Firstly, the lack of family planning can lead to a higher birth rate as there are no measures in place to control or limit the number of children being born. Secondly, in agricultural societies, having many children is necessary for farming as they can contribute to the labor force. Additionally, high infant mortality rates can also contribute to a higher birth rate as parents may have more children to compensate for the ones that do not survive. Lastly, social encouragement or cultural norms that value large families can also contribute to a higher birth rate. Therefore, all of the given factors can contribute to changes in birth rate in stage 2.Rate this question:
