Study Notes
Population Growth Overview
- Global population increases by 181 people per minute.
- Birth rate is three times higher than the death rate, contributing to overall population growth.
Major Factors Influencing Population Growth
- Birth Rates: Higher birth rates significantly contribute to population increases.
- Death Rates: Lower death rates result in more individuals living longer, impacting population size.
- Migration: Movement of people affects population distribution and growth in specific areas.
Birth and Death Rate Dynamics
- Annual population change is determined by the balance of births and deaths each year.
- When birth rate equals death rate, population remains stable; this condition is termed Zero Population Growth (ZPG).
- In 1990, variation in population growth rates was significant, with Gaza experiencing a growth rate of +4.3% while Hungary faced a decline rate of -0.15%.
