Intro to Demographic Methods
Population growth refers to the increase in the number of individuals in a population over time, typically measured as a percentage change. This growth can result from various factors including natural increase (the difference between birth rates and death rates) and net migration (the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a population). Understanding population growth is essential in analyzing its impacts on economic development, resource allocation, and social dynamics.
