    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%.
