MORTALITY RATE

• Mortality rate refers to the death rate; the number of

people dying per 1000 in the population at the current .
time.
• The death rate can be further subdivided into the
infant mortality rate, which is the number of
babies who die between birth and the age of one
year, and the child mortality rate (number of
children between ages 0 and 5 who die).

 IMMIGRATION

The movement of people into an area

is known as immigration, and it
serves to increase the population of a
region or country.
Most migration is voluntary and
people move to find a better life.
Many countries with low population
growth rates leading to an aging
population have used immigration as
a means of ensuring a labor supply.

 IMMIGRATION
Most immigration flows from
developing countries to developed
countries, as people leave their homes
in search or jobs or a better way of
life.

Some immigration may be seasonal,

as workers leave for a few months
each year to earn money, such as
farm workers in Canada.

 EMIGRATION
Emigration refers to the movement of
people out of one country and into another
to reside.

Most migrants are young and better

educated than their peers. This results in
brain drain, as developing countries are
deprived of the skills, knowledge and
ideas needed to help the country become
more developed.

 MIGRATION RATE
Immigration rate is the number of
immigrants arriving per 1000 population at
a destination in a given year, while
emigration is the number of migrants
leaving a destination per 1000 population.

Net migration is the difference between

immigration and emigration, while the net
migration rate is the net migration given as
a rate per 1000 population.
