POPULATION

The world has many people living in it. There is currently 7.6 billion people. That is 2.5 per second, 8377 per hour, 200,000 per day and 73 million per year. 90% of the population growth in the world is from developing countries such as Africa, and mid eastern countries. In the U.S.A. the average lifespan for a man is 77 years compared to a female which is 81. Some people migrate to the U.S.A. for many reasons. Some push factors are civil war and lack of jobs. Some pull factors are jobs, food, opportunity and most of all, freedom. The average amount of children to women is 2.1. This makes sense because both children replace the mom and dad when they die and the cycle continues. In China, population used to be a problem so if you had more than one child you had to pay for it.

BIRTH AND DEATH

Today we learned about birth and death rates. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1000 people. The crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 people. These rates are yearly. They do every 1000 because its like if every country had 1000 people so its easier. The rate of natural increase (RNI) is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. Net migration rate is difference between people entering and leaving a country. Immigration is always a positive number and emigration is always negative. The number of Mexican immigrants has gotten much smaller every year for the past 3 years.

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.
