Human Geography

Population

Population Growth

Birthrate- # of live births per 1,000 people

Fertility rate- average # of children a woman of childbearing years would have in her life, if she had children at the current rate for her country.

Population Decline

Mortality Rate (death rate)- # of deaths per 1,000 people

Infant Mortality Rate- # of deaths among infants under age 1 per 1000 live births.

The Difference… Rate of Natural Increase (population

growth rate)- the birthrate minus the mortality rate, gives you the rate at which population is growing

Birthrate – Mortality Rate= RNIBirthrate – Mortality Rate= RNI

Population Pyramid Population Pyramid- a graph used to

show the sex and age distribution of a population

Rapid Negative

Slow
