One country grows at 0.8 percent and another at 1.6 percent. According to the Rule of 70, which country's doubling time will be about half?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Country growing at 1.6 percent

The Rule of 70 estimates doubling time by dividing 70 by the annual growth rate in percent. This shows an inverse relationship: when the growth rate becomes twice as large, the approximate doubling time becomes half as long. The country growing at 0.8 percent takes about 70 ÷ 0.8 = 87.5 years to double.

For the country growing at 1.6 percent, the time is 70 ÷ 1.6 = 43.75 years. This is exactly half of 87.5 years because 1.6 is twice 0.8. Therefore, option B, the country growing at 1.6 percent, is correct. The comparison does not depend only on birth rate; the stated growth rate may reflect the relevant overall population change, including other components where appropriate.
