Population Structure and Economic Implications of Kenya and China

In this piece of text I will be analysing and comparing the population

structure and economic implications of two countries. The two

countries that I have chosen are Kenya and China. China is a mixture

of an LEDC and an MEDC whilst Kenya is a LEDC. You will be able to

notice the difference when I give the facts and details of both

countries. Population structure is such things as death rate and also

birth rate and population spreads. It also shows the amount of people

that are a certain age. The pyramid can also show the different

trends and patterns of the age groups. Economic implications are the

work force of the country and the industries in the countries.

Country Status

==============

China is a mixed between and LEDC and MEDC as said earlier, this is

because the countries has a mixture of areas where some people are not

as fortunate as others. The population of this country is around 1.3

billion. By looking at the map below you can see that it takes up a

large space of Asia so there is no surprise that there is a lot of

people living in the country. Here is a map to show where China is.

Kenya on the other hand is an LEDC suffering from hunger, disease and

dehydration. Kenya’s population is around 32 million which is much

lower than China because of different death rates birth rates, infant

mortality which will be explained later. Here is a map to show where

Kenya is situated.

A complete opposite to China in population size and status of the

country.

Death Rate

==========

In China there is a small death rate of 7 per 1000 which is very low.

The death rate is low because of reasons such as there is good health

facilities which obviously means that people can be treated better
