Population dynamics

?
  • World population is growing , at least 65 million people were added to the global total of around 6.6 billion in 2008.
  • Exponential growth ocurred. 
  • Since 2000 the rate of growth slowed down  

Population change is produced by migration and natural change. If there are more births than deaths population will increase. If there are more deaths than births the population will decline. 

  • Migration is the movement of people round the places
  • Emigrants ( out-goers)
  • Immigrant (incomers)

Natural increase: difference between death and birth rates

  • low levels of education
  • tradition of large families
  • culture of large families being important

LOW BIRTH RATES

  • wider use of contraception
  • women want to develop their careers

  • not enough food= famine
  • loads of countries suffer from Malaria

  • clean water supply= no diseases
  • family who has enough money to supply food
