Bangladesh had a population, in the year 2012, of 161,084,000 and had a population growth rate of
  1.6. How many years, after 2012, will it take for the population to double at this rate? What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Some computer scenarios show a collapse of industrial production and agricultural production in the
  wake of the depletion of critical resources, such as fossil fuels. Paradoxically, in these scenarios, birth
  rates dramatically increase while population simultaneously drops. How can you explain this? What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

43.75 (44 years)

Answer to Question 2

The death rate increases far faster than the birth rate. The high birth rates are the result of the absence
of modern medical resources
