Population geography studies differences in populations around the world and seeks to understand factors that affect population distribution, density, growth and structure. Some key questions in population geography include why some areas have dense populations while others are sparse, and why some populations are growing while others are shrinking. Population indicators and concepts like carrying capacity are important to understanding issues related to population levels in different regions.
