Students learn in microeconomics that the demand curve for a good, which shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of the good that consumers demand-i.e. are willing, ready, and able to purchase-has a negative slope.
The UNICEF estimates that an average of 353,000 babies are born each day around the world. The crude birth rate is 18.9 births per 1,000 population or 255 births globally per minute or 4.3 births every second (as of Dec. 2013 estimate).
200,000 babies are born worldwide every single day. Can you believe it? Of that number, more than 25,000 of those babies are African, African-American, African-European, etc. Many Black parents, when deciding the names of their babies, want to find ethnic names that have significant meanings in Black culture.
