60. Questions 1.Can you see any connection between Africa’s unusually high infant mortality rate of 74 per 1,000 (almost 1 in 13), and its high total fertility rate of 4.8 children per woman?

61. Answer When people know each of their children has almost a 10% chance of not surviving to adulthood, they will have more children to increase the likelihood that some will survive. This is especially crucial for people living in societies where there is no social security and no retirement plans, where the elderly are entirely dependent on their children for care and financial support.

62. Question 2. Infant mortality rates are consistently lower when girls have access to higher education. Is there a correlation here? What abilities and/or knowledge do educated people have that might be useful to them as parents?

63. Answer Literacy (including reading and basic math): Parents with these abilities can: read directions, such as those on over-the-counter medicines and infant formula. educate themselves about any subject, including child development and care. get better jobs and earn more money. Health/Biology: Exposure to these subjects makes people more aware of how to take good care of themselves and their children. They understand the importance of: good nutrition, medical care, especially prenatal care

64. Question 3. What do indicators like a high infant mortality rate, limited access to decent sanitation facilities, and short life expectancy say about the quality of life in a region? What are some possible causes?

65. Answer Possibilities include: Food that’s insufficient in quantity or nutritional value Lack of clean water Low quality medical care or none at all Exposure to high levels of pollution War or political violence Land Use

The average human life expectancy at birth is 69 years. j. Only 59% of the world’s population have access to adequate sanitation. k. On average, there is one medical doctor per 709 people in the world.

67. L. Urban Population: Percentage of the total population living in areas termed urban by that country (typically towns of 2,000 or more or in national or provincial capitals). M. Arable Land: Farmland; land capable of growing crops.

68. l. 50% of the world’s population (about 3.4 billion people) now live in urban areas. m. There are 0.6 acres of arable land per person on Earth.

72. Africa L. 38% living in urban areas M. 0.6 acres arable land per person

73. Asia L. 42% living in urban areas M. 0.4 acres of arable land per person

74. Think about the following questions after viewing the amount of resources and wealth each region consumed or withholds.

75. Questions 1. How will population growth affect the amount of arable land available per person?

76. 2. What would it mean for a country to have its amount of arable land per capita fall below the minimum required to grow enough food to sustain its population?

77. 3. What do you think usually causes people to move to cities?

78. Rural to Urban 4. What are some possible positive and negative effects of having such large portions of countries populations shifting to Urban Areas?

79. Positive Effects: More green space is left open for: other species to inhabit. trees and other plants to continue producing the oxygen we all need. potential farmland. Well-planned cities can offer people: more job opportunities. better public services and living conditions

80. Negative Effects: When a city’s population grows very rapidly, two major effects are likely: Higher rates of unemployment and poverty occur when more people come looking for work than there are opportunities available. can happen in spite of economic growth. Greater environmental problems: infrastructure, facilities, and services can’t expand quickly enough to keep up with increased demand. Streets become congested, levels of pollution rise, sanitation systems are overwhelmed, and residents’ health and general quality of life decline sharply.

81. N. Energy Consumption: The total amount of energy used by each region per year divided by the number of people living in that region — includes industrial use. O.

84. How could/do people from regions with less wealth and opportunity get access to those things?

85. What does the North American Ambassador think about the uneven distribution of wealth? What does he/she want to do about it?

86. How will the wealthier regions decide to which countries they will offer foreign aid? What, if any, conditions will you impose on nations receiving your help? Will you trust the countries receiving money from you to put it to good use, or will you attempt to control what is done with it?

87. How will the less densely populated regions decide from which countries they will accept immigrants? What, if any, conditions will you impose on people seeking permission to immigrate? Will you accept only very well educated people, or will you base your decision on need — giving preference to those with the least opportunity in their home countries? Or those suffering political persecution? Or refugees from war-torn nations? Or would it be based solely on numbers, first-come, first-served?

88. United Nations Committee What does the group think should be done about inequitable distribution of wealth and consumption of resources? Do donor nations have the obligation to link aid to certain policies that might enable recipient countries to become self-sufficient in the future? What might those be? Should rich countries be required to reduce their consumption levels? How could this be encouraged or enforced?
