COMPONENTS OF POPULATION CHANGE
A. Natural components
1. births
births minus deaths = natural increase
2. deaths
B. Migration — people move their residence
1. internal (domestic) migration -
a country, including within a state or
province
tion: a person moves in from another part of the same country
b. out-migration: a person moves out to live in another part of the same
country
in-migration minus out-migration = net internal migration
2. international (foreign) migration - between countries
4, immigration - a person moves in from another country
b. emigration - a person moves out to live in another country
immigration minus emigration = net international migration
Total population change in an area during a particular period of time =
natural increase + net internal migration + net international migration
‘What are the reasons for differences in each of these components from place to place?
Consider: desirability — what people want or need to do - because?
feasibility — what people are able to do - because?
In what ways do the components affect each other?
