Justifications for stage assigned–– 1. Gaza High fertility rate and birth rate coupled with a low death rate equates to a fair population growth rate and a fair life expectancy. 2. UAE A fair fertility rate and birth rate coupled with a low death rate equates to a fair population growth rate and a high life expectancy. 3. Germany Low fertility rate and a declining birth rate coupled with a low death rate—birth rate is below death rate--equates to a negative population growth rate and a very high life expectancy. 4. Afghanistan Very high fertility rate and birth rate coupled with a very high death rate but still equating to a fair population growth rate and low life expectancy. 5. Niger Very high fertility rate and birth rate coupled with a very high death rate but still equating to a fair population growth rate and a low life expectancy. It should also be noted that it has a very high probability for infectious disease infection. 6. Lebanon Low fertility rate and a fair birth rate coupled with a low death rate equates to a high life expectancy and declining population growth rate which may also be affected by a very high emigration rate....
