Items assess intrinsic growth with carrying capacity, human population growth drivers over the last century, exponential growth projections, and relationships involving total fertility rate and income. The exam also tests population stability, national and world growth rates, rapid-growth country comparisons, biotic potential and demographic transition effects on fertility and death, and methods to reduce population growth.
