SUMMARY
To plot crude birth and death rates effectively, the x-axis should represent time (years), while the y-axis should display the rates per 1,000 individuals. This method allows for clear visualization of trends over time. The example provided illustrates the global birth and death rates, serving as a reference for proper plotting techniques.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of demographic concepts such as crude birth and death rates
