1 - Population Dynamics

Population growth is expected to continue globally, though the rate may slow down. Growth rates vary significantly between regions. Population change is driven by birth rates and death rates. Birth and death rates are influenced by factors like development, health care access, and government policies. Some areas have youthful, growing populations while others have aging populations with fewer births and longer lifespans. Managing population change and migration sustainably requires considering issues like resource availability, jobs, and social welfare systems.

Population change is caused by birth rates (the number of babies born / 1000 of the population) and death rates (the number of people who die / 1000 of the population) Population Growth = he birth rate is greater than the death rate Population Decline = he birth rate is less than the death rate
