Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to demographic data, women tend to live longer than men in both developed and developing countries.

(Note: The other choices are not true. Colonization may have an impact on population growth, but it is not the most significant factor. Planck's theories of migration have not been elevated to laws of migration. Rates of natural increase may be higher in rural areas. Total fertility rates may affect migration patterns, but they do not explain flows of international migrants by themselves.)
