Resources, Population, and the Future (Sociology 331) ~ Lloyd Assignment #1: Fertility Below is a series of questions pertaining to your assigned country. The questions are designed to get your hands on real demographic data so that you can familiarize yourself with the population processes introduced in class. To complete this assignment you need to go into the library and find sources of population information (or use credible internet sources). Do not be alarmed if you are having trouble finding information on your country. Keep looking it is there. If you can not find the appropriate data come talk to me and I will point you in the right direction. You are to do this assignment individually. Be very careful not to plagiarize written material.* You may take data from population reference books, but be sure to put written text into your own words. Additionally, provide complete citations of all source(s) of the demographic data used. Complete citations include the author(s), title of publication, year, page numbers and table numbers for each data source. You also need to be sure that it is clear to the reader which information is found in which data source. The questions should be answered in the order they appear, typed, double-spaced, with page numbers, and with sheets of paper stapled together (do not fold or paper clip). Show and interpret all calculations (note: the calculations do not have to be typed, however, be sure to print them clearly). The written portion of your assignment, excluding calculations, should be approximately 3 to 4 pages. 1. Provide a brief demographic and social overview of your country. Describe it in terms of the average persons quality of life. What can the people generally expect out of life? Are people poor, rural, agricultural, etc.? Try to find several and sources do NOT rely on encyclopedic accounts of such things as the gross national product. (Do not get into fertility and mortality report and discuss fertility below and mortality in your next assignment). What is your countrys current rate of growth? Explain how this compares to other countries we have discussed in class. Note: you do NOT need to find raw data to complete this question. You may simply report measures that have already been calculated for you. How long will it take your country's population to double in size? Explain how this compares to other countries we have discussed in class. Note: you need to find RAW data to complete this question. Do not simply report measures that are calculated for you. Calculate the Crude Birth Rate and one of the other measure of fertility discussed in class for 2 different time periods (the most recent that you can find and the oldest you can find). Note: you need to find RAW data to complete this question. Be sure to interpret each calculation. Report and interpret the Total Fertility Rate for 2 different time periods (t...
