United States vs. Angola 2011

• Compare the shape of the two population
  pyramids.
• Why are they different?
• Go to the website and look at country summary
  for each of your countries for info like
  population size, life expectancy, and infant
  mortality

Slide 2
9
United States 2011 vs. 2030

• Cut and paste the population pyramids for
  2011 and 2030 for developed country.
• Compare/contrast these two pyramids.
• For example
• Total population
• Life expectancy
• Infant mortality

Slide 3
10
Angola 2011 vs. 2030

• Cut and paste the pyramids for 2011 and
  2030 for underdeveloped country.
• Compare/contrast these pyramids.
• For example
• Total population
• Life expectancy
• Infant Mortality

Slide 4
11
Three Factors Affecting Angolas Population

• Next, do a database search of your underdeveloped
  country and find three factors that might explain
  why they have a short life expectancy or high
  infant mortality.
• For Example
• Annual income per capita
• Agricultural resources
• Exports
• Per capita medical expenses

Can technology change the population pyramid?

• Research and explain how a technological
  advancement could change the population pyramid
  of your underdeveloped country
• For Example
• What technology could decrease infant mortality?
• How would it impact the population by 2030?
