Population is not static, but rather dynamic and ever-changing. It deals with how and why the number of people and structure of a population changes over time. The world's population has tripled since 1950 and is continuously rising, with 59.5% now living in Asia. The size of a population is affected by factors like birth rate, death rate, and migration. The birth rate refers to the number of live births per 1000 people in an area per year, and if it is above 2 then the population will rise. The death rate refers to the number of deaths per 1000 people in an area per year. Immigration is movement into an area, while emigration is movement out of an area.
2. What is Population
• It is about where they live, how many people there are and why they
live there.
• It signifies the total number of people inhabiting a specific area at a
particular time

9. Fertility Rate or birth rate
• Generally birth rate refers to the number of live births per 1000
person in given geographical area per year.
• Some statistics(maths) applied:
If the fertility rate is larger than 2 than the population shall rise as
there are more children than their parents. (vice versa)

10. Mortality or Death rate
o birth rate of new people increases the population, death rate decreases it.
Death rate refers to number of deaths per 1000 people in an given
geographical area per year.
Things/factors that affect death rate:
1. Avalibility of healtcare facilities 2. Lifestyle habits

14. Population change
Is defined as the change in number of people during a specific time
which is because of varied factors births, deaths and migration of
people.
Natural growth rate = Birth rate – death rate
N.G.R of any country is the difference between the birth & death rate

16. Density of population
• Population density is the number of people for a given area.

• if places are sparsely populated, they will have a low population density.
