c) US imposed high tariffs on foreign goods to protect the US domestic market by making foreign items more expensive(called protectionism). Other countries imposed their own tariffs = a slow down in world trade. |

| Compare the population growth rates of developing countries versus developed countries. |
|
Definition
1. Developing countries have a much higher population growth rate.
· The countries in which poverty levels are the highest are generally those that have the most rapid increases in population and the highest fertility levels.
2. Less education means more population
3. Enabling people to have fewer children contributes to upward mobility and helps to stimulate development.
4. When women can negotiate their reproductive health decisions with men, this exercise of their rights leads to an increased decision-making role within families and communities that benefits all.
5. Because smaller families share income among fewer people, average per-capita income increases.
6. Fewer pregnancies lead to lower maternal mortality and morbidity and often to more education and economic opportunities for women. These, in turn, can lead to higher family income.
7. As women become more educated, they tend to have fewer children, and participate more fully in the labour market.
8. Families with lower fertility are better able to invest in the health and education of each child. Spaced births and fewer pregnancies overall improve child survival.
9. Sexual and reproductive health services are key to curbing HIV. The pandemic is killing large numbers of people in their most productive years, increasing the ratio of dependents to the working-age population.
10. Preventing AIDS-related disabilities and premature deaths translates into a healthier, more productive labour force that can improve a country’s economic prospects many developing countries have large youth populations.
11. Reproductive health programmes that address the greater vulnerability of adolescents to unprotected sex, sexual coercion, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, unintended early pregnancies and unsafe abortions, and enable young women to delay pregnancy and marriage are important factors in breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
12. Investments in reproductive health, particularly in family planning, that result in lowered fertility can open a one-time only 'demographic window' of economic opportunity. |
