Q SOC 462, Population Studies Short Assignment #3: Mortality and Fertility Indicators Assignment 1. Select two countries, one a more developed country (not the U.S.) and one a less or least developed country. 2. Visit the International Data Base (IDB) on the U.S. Census (https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/idb/informationGateway.php) website. Search for your two countries, using 2016 data (or the most recent year of data). 3. Using the data from IDB (“demographic indicators” tab), complete the table below using the 2016 data, as well as the 2025 data (make sure to convert any numbers represented in thousands or some other integer to the actual number). 4. In your own words, interpret each of the five indicators of mortality and each of the three indicators of fertility for 2016 for each of your countries. 5. Compare the indicators of mortality and fertility for each of your countries, and the United States (including both 2016 and 2025). a. Where are there differences between countries? Between years? b. Why are there differences? What are the implications of these differences? Notes 1. Make sure to answer ALL parts of every question and include the completed table. 2. Use only data for the table from the source listed above. For interpretation (question #5) you can bring in other sources and use ASA formatting if you do so. 3. Your homework must be typed and should use standard font type and size. 4. Your homework should include proper grammar and spelling. 5. This homework is graded on a 0-10 scale: 0 points if you do not complete the homework, 10 points if you complete the homework perfectly, and 1-9 points for something in between (including fractions of points). Notes 1-4 above will be graded. ?
