This gives you the population density, which is an important indicator of a country’s potential problems.Example: The United States of America has a population density of 76 people per square mile. Japan has a population density of 869 per square mile. You can understand why Japanese society puts such emphasis on group harmony not individualism like the United States of America.In some countries a high population might make it more difficult to meet the demand for food, housing and jobs. ................
