Raj and Neha were talking about the high birth and death rate in their country. What would the population pyramid of their country look like?

Assertion (A) In countries like Japan, low birth rates make the population pyramid narrow at the base. 
Reason (R) Decreased death rates allow a significant number of people to reach old age.

The way in which people are spread across the Earth's surface is known as the pattern of population distribution. More than 90 per cent of the world's population lives in about 30 per cent of the land surface. The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven. Some areas are very crowded and some are sparsely populated. The crowded areas are South and South-East Asia, Europe and North-Eastern North America. Very few people live in high-latitude areas. tropical deserts, high mountains and areas of equatorial forests. Many more people live North of the Equator than South of the Equator. Almost three-quarters of the world's people live in two continents Asia and Africa. Sixty per cent of the world's people live in just 10 countries. All of them have more than 100 million people.

(ii) What is the significance of the distribution of population in relation to a country's economic development? 
(a) It has no impact on a country's economic development. 
(b) It is the primary factor determining a country's economic development. 
(c) It can affect a country's economic development, but other factors also play a role.
