This chart shows the countries of the world by (1) family size, measured as the average number of children per woman, and (2) the standard of living, measured as gross national income per capita. The correlation coefficient for these two sets of numbers is -0.57. Explain what this means in terms of both the strength and the direction of the relationship. What is the relationship between the average family size within a country and the standard of living within that country? Which do you think comes first, the decline of family size or the rise of living standards? What would the correlation coefficient be if the two variables were not at all correlated? What conclusions about global development and future population growth might you come to from this relationship? Keep in mind that the dots on the scatterplot are countries--not households, families or individual women. Use one or two paragraphs for your answer.
PLEASE ANSWER!! It's for sociology, due Feb 6., I'm just very overwhelmed with school & have even more classes starting this week.

Answer:

1: There is a strong, negative correlation

2: The lower the standard of living, the higher the family size on average

3: In my opinion, the rise of living standards comes first, as in many countries with a low standard of living there is often child labour, and people tend to have more children so that they can work and earn money for the family. Therefore, if the living standards get better, there will be less of a need for this to happen.

4: 0

5: As the world collectively gets better developed, population growth may slow down as people may have less children.
