The following table gives five population indicators for eleven selected countries. Study these data and try to identify possible correlations. Doing additional research if necessary, discuss the possible correlations you have found, speculate on the reasons for the correlations, and discuss whether they suggest a causal relationship. Birth and death rates are per 1,000 population; fertility rate is per woman.
