Fertility conditions will most likely remain much higher than the more developed nations and the world averages for sometime, and population growth may remain slightly more expansive and characteristic of a mid-stage 3 in the Demographic transition model until certain improvements are made. Repercussions often associated with least developed countries experiencing fast population growth and urbanization are poverty, hunger, higher infant mortality rate, poor social services, lacking infrastructure, and inadequate health services.
Based off the World Population Data Sheet the Togolese Republic’s rate of natural increase is 2.7% as of 2015, while their net migration rate per 1,000 population is 0, demonstrating that virtually all population growth in the country comes from strictly births, deaths, fertility, and mortality of its citizens. Their rate of natural increase has fluctuated from 3.2% …show more content…
This projection fell short of the actual population size of 5 million people at the turn of the millennium. The doubling rate in 1980 was approximately 23.3 years but the actual population doubled even faster than this measure. My assumption is that conditions of mortality likely changed and improved more quickly than researchers had anticipated creating larger percentages of natural increase over this timeframe. In 1986, the projected population of the country of Togo for the year 2100 was 14.9 million people. Since the growth trends seem to be reaching the constrictive demographic transition model (late-stage 3, early 4) but still has a significant growth rate that is remaining relatively consistent. I would infer that this projection might be close, but slightly less than the actual population that will be reached in 2100 due to the dynamic structure and unpredictability of developing
