Question

Dylan Conner · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  A total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.0 means that, on average, each woman in the population is having one child. Since it takes two people (a man and a woman) to produce one child, a TFR of 1.0 would result in the next generation being half the size of the current generation, assuming no immigration and that the TFR applies uniformly across the population.

A total fertility rate of 1.0 will cause the

A) population to remain stable.
B) population to double in one generation.
C) population to collapse in one generation.
D) next generation to be half the size of the current generation.
