Consider the data in Figure 46.8 illustrating the age structure of France and India. 
In many parts of the world, the average age of reproductive maturity is increasing as humans move from urban to rural environments. Suppose that the current average age of first reproduction is 15 years old in India and 20 years old in France. How would a 5-year increase in the average age of reproductive maturity in both countries be expected to affect the per capita birth rate, and would this effect be greater in France or in India?
