Question

What is China's fertility rate and how does it compare to the other two countries?

Options

• China's fertility rate is 1.2, the lowest among the three countries

• China's fertility rate is 3.4, matching Pakistan's rate

• China's fertility rate is 2.0, the highest among the three

• China's fertility rate equals India's at 2.0

Answer 1

China's fertility rate is 1.2 children per woman, which is the lowest among India (2.0) and Pakistan (3.4). This low rate reflects the effects of the one-child policy and contributes to China's negative population growth rate.
