Key Terms:

• infrastructure
• arable land
  
• urbanization
  
• least developed countries
  

Main Ideas:

• When a growing population uses resources faster than they can be renewed, the resources most critically affected are fuelwood, water, and arable land.
• In this century, countries may be labeled more developed or less developed.  Not all countries are going through the demographic transition in the same way that the more developed countries did.
  
• Some countries attempt to reduce birth rates directly through public advertising, family planning programs, economic incentives, or legal punishments for their citizens.
