This is what i learned about and Population

 

       Migration, what a topic, am I right? Well Friday that’s all we talked about and I got to learn so much more about it. For example Net Migration Rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year. An important thing a have learned is that net immigration is an excess of persons entering the country and net emigration is an excess of persons leaving the country. I have also learned that some people migrate here at the USA because there is economic opportunity and better health services. There is even freedom of religion and freedom of political here.

       Another topic we discussed in class is about population. Did you know that for the population to remain the same the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) must be 2.1?  I also learned that higher than 2.1 the population rises. But if lower than 2.1 population fails, which I thought was very interesting. The world TFR is 2.42 but US TFR is 2.01 and last year it 2.06. I learned so much on Friday and I can’t wait to learn more next class.
