Question: Evaluate the validity of the following statements:

(a) A developing country is likely to have an overall death rate that is lower than that of a developed country.

(c) Just because country A has a population growth rate lower than country B doesn't mean the average woman in country A has fewer children than her counterpart in country B.

(d) Birth rates may be high even when death rates are falling.

(e) If total mortality among children remained constant, but the incidence of that mortality shifted from late childhood to early childhood, fertility rates should decline.
