What causes Canadas population

to increase/decrease?
1) Birth rate
2) Death rate
3) Immigration rate
4) Emigration rate
Calculating Population Change

Birth Rate Death Rate

Number of births per 1000 Number of deaths per 1000
people in a region per year people in a region per year

Natural Increase Net Migration

Birth Rate Death Rate = Immigration Rate Emigration Rate
Natural Increase (NI) = Net Migration
 Exponential Growth

Exponential Rate a rapid rate of Canadas Growth Rate:

population growth as each generation
doubles in size

Rule of 70 the time it takes a country

to double its population, approx. 70
divided by the countrys natural
growth rate
70 0.94 (growth rate) = 74.5 years
 Putting it all together

Population Growth Rate the rate at which a countrys population increases or decreases
Natural Increase (births deaths) + Net Migration (immigration emigration)
The Demographic
Revolution
Global Population

Before the 1700s birth rates

were high, but the population
grew slowly. Why?

How did the agricultural and

industrial revolutions affect
global populations?
