1. Cagbalete is an Island of 3500 square miles off the coast of Mauban. There are 150, 000 inhabitants
of the Island. Last year, there were 7000 new children and 5,000 were recorded as deceased.

a. What is the Population density of the place?

Population 150,000
Population density = =
Area 3,500 sq . miles
= 42.85 inhabitants per sq. miles or 42 inhabitants per sq. miles

b. What are the birth rate and death rates?

No . of births per year 7,000
Birth rate = = = 0.046 = 4.67% birth rate
Total population 150,000
No . of death per year 5,000
Death rate = = = 0.033 = 3.33% death rate
Total population 150,000

c. What is the population growth rate?

Crude births−Crude deaths 46.66−33.33
Growth rate (r%) = = = 1.33%
10 10

d. In how many years the Cagbalete will the double the population?
Doubling time = (70/r) = 70/ 1.33 = 52.63 years

2. Given a 2020 world population growth rate of about 1.05% per year, how long would it take the
world’s population to be double?

Doubling time = (70/r) = 70/ 1.5 = 46.67 years

2.1 How old will you be when this doubling occurs?

Age = 19 years old + 46.67 years = 65.67 years old

If a country doubles in 47 years, what its population growth rate during that time?
Growth rate = (70 / 47 yrs.) = 1.49%

3. Calculate the Growth rates and doubling times of the following countries listed below
Country Birth rate Death rate Growth rate Doubling rate
USA 12 7 500 14.0
Mexico 17 4 1,300 5.4
Japan 7 8 100 70
 UK 12 8 400 17.5
China 11 6 500 14.0
India 22 6 1,600 4.4

Solution:

USA

Crude birth rate = 12 x 1,000 = 12,000 Crude death rate = 7 x 1000 = 7,000

Crude births−Crude deaths 12,000−7,000

Growth rate = = = 500
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / 500) = 0.14 or 14.0

Mexico
Crude birth rate = 17 x 1,000 = 17,000 Crude death rate = 4 x 1000 = 4,000

Crude births−Crude deaths 17,000−4,000

Growth rate = = = 1,300
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / 1,300) = 0.054 or 5.4

Japan
Crude birth rate = 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 Crude death rate = 8 x 1000 = 8,000
Crude births−Crude deaths 7,000−8,000
Growth rate = = = -100
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / -100) = -0.7 or -70

UK
Crude birth rate = 12 x 1,000 = 12,000 Crude death rate = 8 x 1000 = 8,000
Crude births−Crude deaths 12,000−8,000
Growth rate = = = 400
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / 400) = 0.175 or 17.5

China
Crude birth rate = 11 x 1,000 = 11,000 Crude death rate = 6 x 1000 = 6,000
Crude births−Crude deaths 11,000−6,000
Growth rate = = = 500
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / 500) = 0.14 or 14.0

India
Crude birth rate = 22 x 1,000 = 22,000 Crude death rate = 6 x 1000 = 6,000
 Crude births−Crude deaths 22,000−6,000
Growth rate = = = 1,600
10 10
Doubling rate = (70 / 1,600) = 0.044 or 4.4

4. According to the 2019 census, Quezon contained 500, 672 people. In 2020, there were an
estimated 506,680, that translates to a growth of 1.2%. Based on this growth what will be
the population of Quezon be 7 years from now?

Future population = (Initial population) (Growth rate)years

= (506,680) (1.012)7 = 550,804

4.1 …… 11 years from now?

Future population = (Initial population) (Growth rate)years

= (506,680) (1.012)11 = 577,722

4.2…… 50 years from now?

Future population = (Initial population) (Growth rate)years

= (506,680) (1.012)50 = 919,939
