Brainstorming: What are the factors affecting population growth?

​Population growth is the increase in the number of people who inhabit a territory or state. The population growth rate is defined how quickly the members of a group increase in number over a set period of time.

​

​The population growth is calculated by the formula:

​

​

​

​Population change = (Birth rate + Immigration) - (Death rate + Emigration)

​

​

​

The recent increase in the world population is caused by many reasons: One of the reasons is improvement in medicine.

Do you know some other reasons why the number of people on Earth increased?

Open Ended

Give at least two reasons why the number of people on Earth increased. 

Draw

Draw a graph presenting the UAE Population growth in the last 20 years and state at least two reasons of current situation regarding the Population growth.

​Let us analyze the graph

​Africa's population growth

,,Population explosion'' is ​a term used to describe very great and continuing increase in human population in modern time.

​

​1/5 (one fifth) of the world's population already lives in Africa. The most poulated countries of Africa are Egypt, Nigeria and Ethiopia.

​

​Africa is already facing a lack in its resources and with a rapidly increasing population, the resources available per person are reduced further, leading to increased poverty, malnutrition and other large population-related problems.

​

​Malnutrition is a serious condition that happens when your diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients. It means "poor nutrition" and can refer to: undernutrition – not getting enough nutrients.
