In studying population and settlement, we will be taking the geographic and map skills we have learned so far, and applying them to real-world situations, problems, and challenges.
Terms you will want to be familiar with include:
- life expectancy
- birth rate
- death rate
- Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)
- infant mortality rate
- immigrant
- emigrant
- Net Migration Rate
- Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
- push forces
- pull forces
And, as always, there will be the Key Issues to consider:
- Where is the world's population distributed?
- Why is global population increasing?
- Why does population growth vary among regions?
- Why do some nations face health threats?
