Today in class, we reviewed everything that we have talked about for the last couple day, like the total fertility rate of different countries, life expectance and death rate, positive and negative migration, and why people would want to move to other countries, for freedom, and a better life. We talked about different things that have affected people over the years, and what it's affects have done to the world today. We also talked about the baby boomers, and how that affected our country then, and how it is affecting our country now. I took lots of notes.
These are my notes:
The United States has a life expectancy of about 78.11 years
Japan and Germany have the highest life expectancy
Afghanistan has the lowest life expectancy
To find the rate of natural increase (RNI) you subtract the birth rate, and death rate
Afghanistan' total fertility rate is 5.5
Japan's total fertility rate is 1.2
United States' total fertility rate is 2.06
Net migration rate
If more people are coming into the country, they have a positive net migration rate, and if you have more people leaving, you have a negative net migration rate
When you get to some place, you are an immigrant, and when you leave a place, you are a emigrant
United States' net migration rate is 4.32 per thousand
Canada's net migration rate is 5.63 per thousand
Mexico's net migration rate is -3.61 per thousand
Push factors means you want to leave a place
Pull factors mean you want to go to a place
The United States is a free nation, and have the freedom of speech and religion
