Population Projections

Population Projections
Economists often distinguish between developed and developing nations in analyzing world population trends. Generally, nations considered to be less developed or developing have a lower standard of living than developed nations. A larger share of the population in these countries live at subsistence levels, and medical resources are limited. As demonstrated by this graph, population growth in less developed nations occurs at a much faster rate than in developed nations.
