Problems created by decline of population in developed countries are;Underutilization of public utilities such as schools/health facilities.It leads to slow development of a country's economy.Inadequate manpower causing shortage of labour.High dependency ratio due to large number of elderly population.
Problems with an ageing population are;They provide a less mobile labour force- The older a person gets, the less willing they are to move from one place to another or even to change jobs.Low labour supply- Old people are less productive and thus cannot provide the much needed labour forceHigh dependency levels- the old will be less productive and therefore will be highly dependent on the few working groupwho will then be strained while providing for their needs.The country becomes less progressive because it lacks the input of more energetic youth.May lead to unemployment- this may be due to the fall in demand for goods and services required by the youth.
Currently, there is no publicly available data that provides projected population growth per county in Kenya since Census has only been done once since counties were established. However, you can use national census population growth rate of 2.2% to project the growth rate per county.Note: The total population growth rate in Kenya has been declining as indicated below2009 to 2019: 2.2%1999 to 2009: 2.9%1989 to 1999: 2.9%1979 to 1989: 3.4%Source: knbs
Factors that favour the growth of natural forests on the slope of mount in Kenya are;The area receives high rainfall throughout the year that provides water for growth of trees.The area has cool climate/ moderate temperature that support a wide variety of tree species.The area has deep/rich volcanic soils that provide proper anchorage/nutrients to support trees.The area is protected government zone/gazette forest that prevents human encroachment allowing trees to grow without interference.The area has steep slopes that discourage agriculture hence growth of trees flourish.
Population growth refers to (a positive or negative) change that occurs in the number of people in a population over a given period.
