Solution
Growing population:
The population having larger number of individuals of the pre -reproductive age groups shows a very rapid growth rate. Thus is known as growing population.
Young individual in the age group (0-14 years) are included in pre-reproductive group, individuals in age group (15-59) are included in reproductive group and individuals in age group (60 yrs and above) are included in post reproductive group.
