1. POPULATION
When we talk about the population of a region, it refers to
people who live there.
Population of a town or country changes because of the
birth rate, death rate, emigration and inmigration.
Two lists are used to study and classify the population:
• The national census which is the list of all the people
living in the country.
• The municipal register which is a list of all the people
living in a town or city.
