hans rosling

Today in class we watched a video on population and GDP statistics called Hans Rosling 200 years in 4 minutes. Hans teaches people about global health. In 1810 the life expectancy was below 40 years old. Of course there are people that will live past 40 and live less than 40 years of age but it's just an average. Hans was also very optimistic about developing countries. He thinks eventually, the developing countries such as nigeria, Afghanistan, Ghana and Ghana will have booming economies like The United States and China soon.

Net migration rate is difference between people entering and leaving a country. Immigration is always a positive number and emigration is always negative.

12/3

Today's class was pretty easy. We reviewed demographic transition at the beginning and watched a video at the end. Demographic Transition is basically how certain economics such as medical, agriculture and industrial things change the population.
