1. Crude death rate (CDR): Deaths in the year *1000 Population at midyear CDR in 2014= 9527401 *1000= 7.3 [1] 1,296,245,000 Interpretation: Crude death rate is the number of deaths in a population in a given year per thousand members of the population.

the chart shown above, Canada has a low birth rate of 10 per 1000 people and a low death rate of 8 per 1000 people in the year of 2014. Even after 25 years, the countries population rates stay fairly low, which will maintain the stable population. A birth rate and death rate being low will automatically result in a stable population and natural increase just like Canada has.…
