WHAT IS POPULATION
•Population is the total number people

undertaken once every decade. A census
involves a complete count of people in a
country.

1,000 people per year. A higher birth rate contributes to
population growth, as more people are added to the
population.
Death Rate: The death rate, or mortality rate, is the number
of deaths per 1,000 people per year. A lower death rate can
contribute to population growth, as more people live longer,
often due to improvements in healthcare and nutrition.
However death rate, often seen in areas with poor
healthcare or during conflicts can lead to population decline
