Population Growth Rate
Pick a country of your choice that is experiencing
population growth. Using the Library, web resources, and/or other materials to
find the most recent population count of the country you have chosen and the
population growth rate of that country. Use that growth rate to approximate the
population in the year 2009. Show how each of your approximations were made by
including your calculations. Write a paragraph about how you might use this
information in a role as a politician, government administrator or business
owner/operator. What will it mean to the country, its economy, resources or the
business? Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
Example: The population of India in 2005 was 1,080,264,388.
The growth rate is 1.4%.
To solve this problem, the percent must first be
converted to its decimal equivalent.
In 2006, the approximate population is 1,095,388,089.
In 2007, approximate population is 1,110,723,523.
In 2008, approximate population is 1,126,273,652.
In 2009, approximate population is 1,142,041,483.
