Population Pyramid Quiz

     On Friday in class, we took a quiz on the population pyramids. There were also words that we had to know for the quiz like life expectancy, crude birth rate, crude death rate, rate of natural increase, net migration rate, immigration, emigration, push forces, pull forces, and the total fertility rate. The number one thing to remember is that the total fertility rate needs to be at least 2.1 for the population to remain the same. If it is lower, the population will decrease, but it if it higher then the population will increase. Overall, the quiz wasn't too hard. I thought it was pretty easy since I did study for it. After the quiz we talked a little bit about an organization called KIVA. Basically, its an organization that helps people who don't have enough money get what they need in order to succeed. People can lend someone in need $25 that will go towards whatever they need. Most of the time, the people who borrow the money pay the loaner the amount back. The rate of repayment is about 99.03%. This rate is incredibly high and there is only a less than one percent chance of you not getting repaid.
