Today in
class we learned about birth rates and death rates. The birth rates are found
by using crude birth rates. A crude birth rate is how many births per one
thousand people. Crude death rates are the same thing for how they are
measured. The crude death rate is subtracted from the crude birth rate to give
you the natural population increase or decrease. Most countries have positive rates,
but some don't such as Italy where the rate is negative and going down. The united
states of America have a lesser value
than Canada which has a rate of 5. Migration is also a factor in determining population
change. When some migrates to another country, they are both an emigrant and an
immigrant. The final thing we learned in class was that the one child rule that
was in china was appealed which I thought was still being used
