The increase in Population together with depleting resources is going to be the scenario of many developing countries in days to come.Conclusions:(I) The population of developing countries will not continue to increase in future.(II) It will be very difficult for the governments of developing countries to provide its people decent quality of life.*1 pointIf only conclusion I followsIf only conclusion II followsIf either I or II followsIf neither I nor II follows andIf both I and II follow.

Multiple Choice QuestionIdentify a realistic reason below to be pessimistic about slowing population growth.Multiple choice question.Richer countries are providing food aid to poorer countries allowing more people to survive to become parents themselves.Pronatalist pressures have been decreasing worldwide and that may lead to a "baby boom."Poorer countries may be caught in a "demographic trap" that prevents them from escaping the middle phase of a demographic transition.Poor countries are trapped at zero population growth and cannot reduce their populations further.
