Today in Human Geo Mr. Schick went over the power point again, but he also showed us more information on the CIA factbook. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1000 people of the population. Crude death rate is the number of death per 1000 people of the population. The rate of natural increase is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. Also migration is brought into this. Net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving the country during a year. Some birth rates in countries are increasing in undeveloped countries such as in Chad, and some developed countries have low birth rates such as Germany and Japan. China along with Germany, and Japan, has a low birth rate which is caused from the unhealthy geography along with the pollution in the air causing multiple people to have diseases.
