Question

A researcher gathers data on life in Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution. He discovers that during the 1820s and 1830s the number of children born to married couples in Great Britain rose rapidly. This researcher's data could help him determine which of the following types of information about Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution?

A.Its Pasteur rate
B.Its mortality rate
C.Its emigration rate
D.Its fertility rate

Answer 1

The answer is: D.Its fertility rate

In citizens' demographic, fertility rate refers to the additional citizens added to a certain country population that come from conception.

We generally use that data to predict whether the country would posses enough citizens in productive age (21-55) in the near future. (without enough citizens in productive age, the country would most likely experience economic stagnation)
