by looking at the crude birth rate and crude death rate we are able to see how the population grows in certain countries. Looking at how high the rates are in a LEDC country and a MEDC country‚ you are able to conclude that you can relate specific factors to different areas of the world. When looking at the population growth of a LEDC there are common factors that appear when looking at the death and birth rates. For example when looking at the country Tanzania in Africa‚ you can see that there

Developed cities in MEDCs such as Los Angeles‚ have a formal economy. Less developed cities in LEDCs often have an informal‚ primary sector economy.
