THE
CHANGES OF THE POPULATION
The
population of a place is all the people who live there.
We
divide the population by age in:
- Children: people with less than 16
- Adults: people between 16and 64 years old.
- Old people: people with 65 years old or more.
The
population can increase or decrease. It depends on:
- The birth rate is the number of born people. It
increases
the population.
- The death rate is the number of people that have died. It decreases the population.
- Immigration is the people that come from another
country
to live here. It increases the population.
- Emigration is the people that leave our country to live in another. It decreases the population.
