The United States has an infant mortality of 5.8/1000 live births, placing it in the 170th in the world. Such information relates to our class because it relates to population, and how it is affected by how many children die per 1000 live births. The fact that children die before they reach one year of age makes the overall population of the United States decrease.
The United States also has a maternal mortality of 14/100000 live births, decreasing not only the population of the United States, but also the number of women that could have children. When the mother dies during childbirth, her death decreases the net population of the United States, and the fertility rate. The maternal mortality relates to our Human Geography class, as well, since it is used to represent population.
The babies in the United States have a life expectancy at birth of an average 80 years. That means that every baby born in the United States is expected to live for at least 80 years (although, depending on the sex of the baby born, the age will vary--women live longer than men). And, since the babies are the strongholds of the population, it has to do with what we talk about in class.
The United States also has total fertility rate of 1.87 as of 2017. Which influences the population with birth and things related with it, such as infant mortality, maternal mortality, and life expectancy. All of the above influence the population of the United States, a topic that we have been covering recently.
Although the fertility rate of the United States is lower than the net fertility rate (2.1), its population does not decrease, but increase. Why? Because many immigrants are entering the country, its population goes up even though its birth rate is low. Which expands even more on the concept of population that we have been talking about during Human Geography.
