Document Summary
Although the worlds population is increasing, but the increase are occurring in less developed parts of the world that are currently least capable of supporting them: whereas the population in the developed world remain unchanged. The present theme: the uncertainty that such increases in the less developed world imply for human well-being. Population greatly links to famine, diseases and environmental deterioration. Demography: the study of population (size and makeup, the process that influence the composition of populations (fertility and mortality, links between populations and the larger human environments of which they are a part. P1 = p0 + b d. B = number of birth between times 0 and 1. D = number of death between times 0 and 1: fertility and mortality rates vary significantly according to time and location. Both are affected by different variables: at a subglobal level, a third factor becomes relevant: migration into and out of that particular subdivision of the world.
