Question

Why would a government enforce pro-natalist policies?

A famine has hit the southern part of the country hard.
Industrialization has curbed the country's soaring population.
Pollution has caused a much higher crude death rate than crude birthrate.
The birth-control policy has been more successful in urban than rural areas.
The country needs more workers for its five-year industrial plan.

Answer 2

I crossed out the first and the fourth

Answer 3

Pro-natalist policies are trying to increase the population

Which answer choice tells us that the population is decreasing?

Also remember that increasing the population is for long term goals. If people have kids now, that's not going to help in 5 years if there's a shortage of people to work

Answer 4

Well all of them have the population decreasing other than the fourth option

Answer 5

Valid point I guess haha

so now look at the reasons

Do you want to increase the population if you're in a famine? Or if there's a lot of pollution killing off people?

Answer 6

What would that leave us with

Answer 7

"Valid point I guess haha"

Answer 8

Leaves the second and fifth option

Answer 9

Answer 15

That's true but you know with industrialization, the population starts to decline- people have fewer kids and at later ages

Answer 16
