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
lowering the chance of death. They will also have good fresh water
supply because if there wasn’t then the death rate would be much
higher. Hygiene of the country must also be good as disease would
travel easily and because would get ill easier. The death rate is 16
per 1000 people in Kenya which is just over double of China. In China
0.1% of people...
