Today in class we took notes on Population & Settlement. The first fact is over 7 million people are on the planet, 90% of the population growth is happening in: Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. Some of our milestones in population growth are-

·         1 Million in 1804

·         2 Million in 1927

·         3 Million in 1960

·         4 Million in 1974

·         5 Million in 1987

·         6 Million in 1999

·         7 Million in 2011

Then we talked about the life expectancy- the average number of years to lived by a group of people born in the same year. In Monaco it 89.68, US 78.49 and Chad 48.69. This is the longest to the shortest. Crude birth rate- number of deaths per 1000. Crude death rate- Number of deaths per 1000. RNI- subtract the death rate from birth rate. Net immigration- the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a country during a year. Push Factors- War, environment, no work, faith. Pull Factors- Health, faith.
