Year 8 - Population data

Okay - you've picked your country, found a map and you've got an image of the countries flag. Now some data:

You need to find your country's total population, birth rate, deat rate, fertility rate, infant mortality rate and percentage of population under 15 and over 65.

For this use the link to the Population Reference Bureau's pdf document that shows the 2007 world population data.

Begin to consider why your country is different to the global averages and to the UK data. A starting point maybe to find your country's wealth - why might this influence population data?
