This is the world on the top and Iraq on the bottom. (higher fertility rate)

This is the world on the top and Brazil on the bottom. (lower fertility rate)

1. My high fertility rate country was Iraq and it's fertility rate was 7.00.

2. My low fertility rate country was Brazil and it's fertility rate was 3.00.

3. The high fertility rate results in a high percentage of young people in the population because in some countries men marry more than one woman and have children with them all. Also, because young people are having children at younger ages these days. The future population growth is going to rise a lot. It is rare these days to find people who just have 1 child.

4. Low fertility rate leads to lots of middle-aged people because when they get to a certain age people stop having children and it is usually just the younger people who are having children.

5. I think life with older people would be slower, they would drive slow, it would be quiet, older people are usually grumpy, there would be a lot of sicknesses, and they would just be sitting at home. I think life with children would be loud, there would be crazy drivers, there would be a lot of child fights, they would have good health, and a lot more parties to go to.
