Globalization is the increasing _interconectedness_of people and places through converging processes of __economical_ , _political_ , and cultural_ change. Those who are pro-globalization believe that wealth will “_trickle_ down” from rich countries to poor countries. They also believe it will spread the benefits of new ideas and new _technology_ to all nations. One organization that loans money to nations so they can invest in business is the _world bank_ . On the other hand, those who are anti-globalization say it is not fair, because the richest _20_% of the world’s people consume _86_% of the world’s resources, resulting in _inequalities_ between “haves” and “have nots.”

The current world population is over _6.6_ billion people. The number that measures how many children the average woman in a nation will bear is known as the _Total Fertility Rate_ , which is abbreviated as _TFR_ . When this number is exactly _2.1_ , then the population stays the same; if it’s higher, the population goes up, and if it’s lower, the population decreases. The population is growing fastest in _developing_ nations.
A population pyramid that is shaped just like a pyramid -- wide on the bottom and narrow at the top -- shows a country whose population is _developing_. If it is shaped more like a vase or a soda bottle, that nation’s population is _decreasing_. _Young_ people are found at the bottom of the pyramid, and _males_ are found on the left hand side.
When discussing migration, people who are entering a country are known as _imagrants_, and people who are leaving a country are known as _emigrants_. People leave their country for many reasons. An example of a push force is _disease_, and an example of a pull force is _jobs_ . If a nation’s net migration rate is a _negative_ number, it means more people are leaving the country than are arriving.
