Summary Introduction

To determine: The stage of U.S. population on the S-curve.

Introduction: S-growth curve or sigmoid growth curve illustrates the growth of population in a new environment, where the density of population rises slowly initially and then exponential growth takes place and then declines with a negative acceleration phase and the population stabilizes at zero growth rates.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The factors that might cause the population to stabilize.

Introduction: The stability in the population comes at the negative acceleration phase when the growth rate becomes zero. When the fertility rate becomes equal to the mortality rate, the stabilization of the population occurs.
