    demographics.

    CHINA 1. What is the world’s most populated country?


    4 2. How many babies are born in the world every second?
    JAPAN 3. What country has the highest life expectancy?
    82m 4. By how much does the world population increase in each year?

    almost one person in four 10. In the world, the population aged under 15 represents.
    TASK 2: PROFILING A COUNTRY
    DIRECTIONS: Choose a country and organize a country’s population information into a
    country profile by using the template below. Develop hypotheses about the population
    characteristics of the country.

    By 2022, the Philippines, a nation in Southeast Asia, will be ranked 13 in terms of


    population. The mortality, fertility, and natural increase rates of the nation are depicted in
    the illustration above. The Philippines' projected population in 2022 and 2035, as well as
    the proportion of people under the age of 15 and over the age of 65, are also displayed
    there. In addition, mortality, fertility, and natural increase rates were used to make
    comparisons between nations.
    ASSIGNMENT
     “What are my chances of reaching 100?”
    I can say that I have a 75% chance of reaching 100. This is because the environment
    in which I currently reside places a greater emphasis on technology and social media use
    than on physical activity.

     “Is there a formula for healthy ageing?”


    The key to healthy aging, in my opinion, is striking a balance between work, rest, and
    physical activity. Taking care of oneself and practicing discipline are two things that
    contribute to healthy aging.
     “Can Demographers predict the future?”
    Yes, particularly if it is concerned with determining the rate of population growth.
    Demographers use tools like mortality, fertility, and migration to help them predict the
    future. These individuals are able to identify and forecast the potential situation or status
    of the global population as well as the factors influencing its growth.
