36) For your short response question choose either India or Japan. Then discuss what their current problem relating to population size, growth, and
overall demographics is and what stage they are currently in on the Demographic Transition model. Secondly discuss why your chosen country is in
this position (Economic, Social, Cultural, Political). Thirdly discuss what possible solutions need to take place in order to alleviate the current
problem. (5 Points)
