Migration Patterns

Human Migration: The Story of a Community

People are constantly moving in and out of countries. People are moving out of countries because of the living consitions, money, and globalization. And sometimes people migrate for the cultural aspect.

Total Fertility Rate

In Canada the fertility rate has increased from 1.59 in 2007 to 1.66 in recent years. It's the highest its been since 1992. 367,864 babies were born in 2007, the highest since 1995. Since 2006, the number increased by 13,247 or 3.7 percent. women the age of 30 - 34 gave birth to 115,415. or a little less than 367,864. Women thirty and over were 50% of all births. Although 1.66 is a good fertility rate it is under what it should be, 2.1.

Net Migration Rate

"Australia’s Population Growing Fast" In Australia the population is growing the fastest its ever been. The population is 21.8 million, and 300,000 are immagrants. The last time the population grew this much was in the 1950's and 60's. But with each million people adds 25 million tons of polution :'( . The growth rate has almost doubled in 5 years.

Population Pyramid
The population pyramid shows the population of a country. It will also show us Fertility, Morality, and Migration. The country that I’m demonstrating is Mali. There population is 13,443. There growth rate is 2.6. The fertility rate is 6.6. The crude birth rate is 46. Their births are 642. Their life expectancy at birth is 52. Their infant morality rate is 116. Under five morality rate is 184. The crude death rate is 15. Deaths are 201. The net migration rate is -6. The net number of migrants is -74. http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idb/informationGateway.php

Today we discussed the Demographic Transition. to summarize what it is; Preindustrial- birth and death were very high and population was very low. As we started to urbanize and industrialize, birth and death rate started to slowly go down and population went up slightly. As we were progressing, birth rates were continually getting lower and really close and parallel to the very low death rates. population was very high. When we became Industrialized the population was very high and starting to slope a little bit downward, death rates were extremely low and even (steady), the birth rates are extremely low (BAD) and sloping just below death rates (MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS~SCARY!).

I got a considerate button!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!

The total fertility rate (TFR) : 3.4 (Belize)
% of young :
% of old :
In Belize the population goes up very little. It is a relatively extremely slow RNI.

The total fertility rate (TFR) : 2.0
% of young :
% of old :
In France the population goes up. It is relatively rapid RNI.

We discussed homework ( comparing pyramids). We read "The Demographic Transition" on page 22. It talked about 4 different stages, comparing; death rate, birth rate, total population.
