Population and Migration
Which factor tends to decrease as a result of overpopulation in an urban area?
Education levels due to increased school availability
Mortality rates due to improved healthcare access
Unemployment rate due to job creation
Quality of life due to resource scarcity
Why might Rostow's stages of economic growth be criticized when applied universally?
It undervalues agriculture's role during take-off phase without recognizing how vital farming can be in some economies even today.
It overlooks the role of colonialism and imperialism in hindering certain countries' economic development process.
It leaves out the potential negative impact of modernization, such as environmental degradation or social inequality.
It assumes all societies will inevitably follow the western path towards industrialization and development without considering varying cultural contexts and historical experiences.
Which initiative would most effectively mitigate consequences of an uneven gender distribution caused by male-dominated immigration flows?
Encouraging emigration from regions with surplus female populations.
Establishing all-women residential zones within urban areas.
Mandating quotas for female-only immigration.
Implementing support services and community-building initiatives for women immigrants.
How could international trade agreements impact rural-to-urban migration patterns in countries where these agreements are enacted?
By boosting industrial jobs in cities at the expense of rural economies, prompting increases in urban population densities but declines in rural densities and cultures.
They would improve rural infrastructure as part of development initiatives, reducing migration towards cities for better services.
These accords generally impose urban planning measures that maintain equilibrium between rural and urban demographics and cultures.
Trade agreements might elevate agriculture profits due to export demands, retaining rural populations with stable incomes.
Which historic period witnessed mass migration from Europe to North America?
18th Century (1700s)
20th century (1900s)
16th Century (1500s)
19th Century (1800s)
What is an inherent limitation in the theory of demographic momentum?
It fails to consider the impact of immigration on population growth.
It assumes that mortality rates will always decrease.
It does not take into account the potential shifts in fertility rates over time.
It doesn't factor in economic development and its effects on population change.
How might the cultural practice of building extensive canal systems for transportation and water management historically affect urban population distribution in a city like Amsterdam?
It encouraged higher density along the canals due to increased accessibility and trade opportunities.
It promoted urban sprawl by facilitating easier transport to outlying agricultural areas.
It caused cities to abandon traditional grid patterns in favor of circular city designs.
It led to decreased population densities as residents moved away from congested waterways.

What possible outcome might an aging population have on a country's economy?
Aging populations ensure that economies will skyrocket due their experience.
There are non-economic effects of an aging population.

The economy will definitely collapse due to lack of workforce.
What best represents forced migration due to political instability as a consequence of population distribution?
Syrian Civil War Refugee Crisis (2011-Present)
Emigration from Europe to Americas (1800s)
Migration during the Gold Rush Era in America (1848–1855)
Movement during Dust Bowl era in USA(1930–1936)
Which factor is most likely to negatively impact agricultural production in densely populated rural regions?
Reduced labor availability leads to decreased farming capacity.
Overuse and degradation of soil resources occur due to over-farming practices.
There's an unexpected rise in non-agricultural job opportunities luring away farm workers.
Farmers massively shift towards organic farming practices reducing output volume temporarily .
