Document Summary

Geo 108 final exam notes on population dynamics. Total population = (births - deaths) + (in-migrants - out-migrants) Annual number of births per 1000 people or (# of live births/total population) x 1000 = % birth rate. Average number of live births per 1000 women of childbearing age or (# of live births/# of women aged 15 to 45 years) x 1000 = fertility rate. The generally accepted number that represents the replacement fertility rate is 2 children born per women.

Examples of push factors include economic factors, like a lack of economic opportunity and jobs. A pull factor is a reason for migration that relates to the area of destination something that is attracting them to an area.
