Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Population increase is primarily influenced by fertility and mortality rates. If fertility rates are higher than mortality rates, more individuals are born than die, leading to a population increase. However, if mortality rates are higher than fertility rates, the population will decrease. Changes in morbidity, income, and infrastructure can influence mortality rates, but fertility rates have a greater impact on population increase.
