Brazil is in stage 4 of demographic transition. I believe that, because they have a smaller work force and longer life expectancy. There is a decrease in birth rate, as more people are now aware about family planning and birth control. Also, workers are heavily relied on their specific types of labor. but then again, there is improved medical care and fewer children die.

I chose "children per women" for my y-axis because the birth rate is increasing. I chose "Aged 15+..." becAUSE IT IS SYMBIOTIC WITH THE Y-AXIS. tHEY ARE TOGETHER, BECAUSE THERE IS A DECREASE IN BIRTH RATES DUE TO THE FACT THAT WORK IS CONTINUOUSLY A FOCAL POINT WITHIN BRAZIL. FEWER CHILDREN ARE BORN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT AS NEEDED
