Question

(western europe population pattern notes)
what is a negative impact of germany and italy having low birth rates?
○ more deforestation due to growing cities
○ there wont be enough schools for the children in the future
○ there will be less working population in the future

Explanation:

• Option 1: Deforestation from growing cities is unrelated to low birth rates (more about urbanization, not birth rate decline).
• Option 2: Low birth rates mean fewer children, so school availability wouldn’t be an issue due to lack of children, not lack of schools.
• Option 3: Low birth rates mean fewer people will grow up to be part of the working - age population in the future, which is a direct negative impact of low birth rates (as the current children are the future workforce).

Answer:

C. there will be less working population in the future
