More Population facts

Today we learned more about the population of the world and the United States. We learned how some countries have higher death rates than birth rates, why women live longer than men, why people immigrate, and more. The crude birth rate is the number of deaths per 1000 of the population. The crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 of the population. The Rate of Natural Increase (RNI) is produced by subtracting the death rate from birth rate. This gives us the annul natural growth rate- in percentage form- for a country or region. The Net Migration Rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. There are two reasons why someone would leave, push forces and pull forces. A push force would be a civil war, environmental degradation, unemployment or underemployment, or religious or ethnic persecution. A pull force would be a better economic opportunity, better health services, religious freedom, or political freedom.
