Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.After World War II, the U.S. government encouraged women to leave their wartime jobs and stay at home. Reunited couples started new families and the result was a rise in the birth rate called the "baby ."

During the 19th century, the industrial revolution led to advances in health care in the United States that resulted in declines in the death rate followed by population growth.  Around 1860, the U.S. birth rate also began to steadily decline until reaching its current plateau of about two births per woman during her lifetime.  Since 1860, the U.S. birth rate has significantly increased during only one period: the post-World War II era known as the baby boom."Baby boomers," the generation of Americans born roughly between 1946 and 1964, are living longer than any prior generation, and their aging has evolving social and historical significance.  By 2030, it is estimated that there will be about 61 million baby boomers in their eighties.  In 1950, there were approximately seven times more producers (people age 15-64) than elderly (people age 65 and over); by 2030 there are projected to be less than three times more producers than elderly.  Providing medical and social care to this aging cohort will have a major negative impact on the American economy due to the costs associated with health care and basic social services.Also impacting the U.S. population distribution is the fact that younger Americans (referred to as "millennials," born roughly between 1982 and 2004) are delaying marriage and children more so than any preceding generation, resulting in declining U.S. fertility rates.  Figure 1 compares the U.S. population pyramid in 2000 to a projected population pyramid in 2030.Figure 1  United States population pyramid from 2000 and a projected population pyramid for 2030 Question 32The passage provides specific data for which of the following in the United States?A.The number of live births per year for every 1,000 members of a population, regardless of sex or ageB.The total number of live births per year for every 1,000 women of childbearing age in a populationC.The average number of children born per woman during her lifetimeD.The number of live births per year for 1,000 women in a certain age group in a population

During World War II, American women who worked outside the homeMultiple Choicewere not allowed to have children under the age of three in their care.tended to be older than women who had worked in the past.worked mostly in bars, restaurants, and domestic service.were barred from unions.immediately benefited from special government protections and privileges.

In response to the sexual revolutionGroup of answer choiceswomen had children at a younger age.there was a decrease in the marriage age.abortion became illegal.divorce rates plummeted.the birth rate declined.

Which of the following best explains a possible limitation of the trends assumed from the population pyramid and estimates in the data table?ResponsesA period of war followed by a baby boom, similar to that of the 1940s and 1950s, is likely to occur within a generation, increasing the youth-aged cohorts.A period of war followed by a baby boom, similar to that of the 1940s and 1950s, is likely to occur within a generation, increasing the youth-aged cohorts.Modernization of health-care systems may result in improvements in women’s health and pregnancy and result in more children being born, increasing the youth-aged cohorts.Modernization of health-care systems may result in improvements in women’s health and pregnancy and result in more children being born, increasing the youth-aged cohorts.Labor shortages may cause the government to reduce the legal barriers to immigration, and immigrant populations could increase the working-age cohorts.Labor shortages may cause the government to reduce the legal barriers to immigration, and immigrant populations could increase the working-age cohorts.Decreasing populations may cause an economic decline, prompting many citizens to emigrate to other more developed countries and decreasing the working-age cohorts.Decreasing populations may cause an economic decline, prompting many citizens to emigrate to other more developed countries and decreasing the working-age cohorts.Production efficiencies gained from computerization and robotization of manufacturing may free parents from long work hours and result in more time to have additional children, increasing the youth-aged cohorts.

After World War II, the birthrate in Canada rose sharply, resulting in a group known as:Multiple ChoiceGen Yers.Gen Xers.Baby Boomers.Digital Natives.Millennials.
