POPULATION GROWTH"

 BIRTH RATE

-the number of births - per 1000 people. A country with 30

births per 1000 people has a birth rate of (30/1000) x 100 =
3%. A young population and high fertility rate may birth
rates to be high cause.
 LIFE EXPECTANCY

-the number of years an average person in a country is

expected to live. In Japan it's over 85 years while in the
Central African Republic its around 53 years.
 INFANT MORTALITY
-this is the average number of babies dying before they
reach one year old.
 FERTILITY RATE

-the average number of children a woman of child-bearing

age is expected to have in her lifetime.
 DEATH RATE

-the number of deaths per 1000 people to get the percentage

that this represents you must divide by 10 (which works out
89,750 120,890 2,508 75,600
to be the same as the formula given for birth rate above).
The age of the population and availability of health care
impacts a country's death rate
 NATURAL
INCREASE
-this is the difference between the birth and death rates. If
the birth rate of a country is 30 per 1000 people and the
death rate is 10 per 1000 people then the natural increase is
20 per 1000 people or 2% (when the fraction is multiplied
by 100).
 MIGRATION
-this is the movement of people (usually permanently) from
one area to another. These people are referred to as migrants.
When people move away (out-migration or emigration) it
can cause a decrease in population. When migrants come
into a country (in-migration or immigration) it increases
population growth.
 OVERPOPULATION

- refers to a situation where a country's resources are unable

to meet the needs of its existing population. Countries facing
such challenges are often forced to adopt anti-natal policies
such as mandatory birth control to curb population growth,
such as the two-child policy in China.
 UNDER-
POPULATION
-refers to a situation where a country's resources are
underutilized because there are insufficient people living in
the area. France and Denmark are countries that have
implemented policies to encourage people to have more
children.
 OPTIMUM
POPULATION
-refers to an ideal situation where the needs of the existing
population are adequately met and there is maximization of
resources' use.
