- 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
