(a) Construct a demographic transition plot for your country with the birth rate, death rate, and population level all on the same graph over the period 1960—2010 (there may be missing data; connect points using straight line; put population on the right Y axis and birth/death rates on the left Y axis). Discuss (i) the historical patterns, and (ii) potential implications for economic growth in the next decade.
(b) Now, construct a graph showing the birth rate and the infant mortality rate. Describe the patterns and offer a potential explanation for the relationship.
