United States(developed country)=

Puerto Rico will need more healthcare because they have a higher population of older people. They also have a higher population of younger people.


The population in the U.S. should grow at a fast rate becasue they have a good amount of younger people. Something else that will help them grow is their number of migrants which is 1,327. The population in Puerto Rico should be decreasing because even though they have more kids, their total fertility rate is low at 1.7. Also, the average amount of deaths is 31,000. Their net number of migrants is
-4,000. In a few years, the United States should still have more people than Puerto Rico.
