Document Summary

There are four components to demography (we only look at three: fertility, mortality, migration, morbidity (don"t look at this one is about disease and sickness) Fertility is the incidence of childbearing in a country"s population. Differentials: reason for people to have kids or not to. They"re actually having enough for replacement: according to money it costs ,800 a year to raise a child to 18. This doesn"t account for extras, like vacation, camp or college: contraception (90% of females are on some sort of birth control) Total fertility rate: (tfr) the number of children hat a hypothetical female would have over the course of her reproductive life span. Age specific fertility rate the number of births to women at specific ages divided by all the women of that age (/1000) Mortality: the incidence of death in a population. Crude death rate: number of deaths in a given year for every thousand people in a population (7. 0 deaths/1k).
