TFR to increase must be 2.1

In today's always great Honor's Human Geography class with the one and only Mr. Schick we discussed something called the Total Fertility Rate and then went over some questions on a powerpoint. The Total Fertility Rate is the average number of children born per woman. In order for a population to grow the TFR has to be 2.1 or higher. If it is anything lower that means the population is decreasing. The US TFR is 2.01 which means our population decreasing. The Nigeria TFR is 6.89 which means it is a developing country. The Japan TFR is 1.40 which means it is a developed country with an aging population. After discussing this we went over three questions on a powerpoint which were: Q-What is the population of the US? A-323.1 million people. Q-What is the infant mortality rate in the US? A-5.87 deaths per 1000 people. Q-Which country has the highest population of Catholics? A- Mexico. After this the bell rang which brought us to lunch.
