HUMAN GLOBAL POPULATION: The world rate of population increase is not constant either in

time or space! It can be positive or negative. It is calculated as the rate of (Births +Immigrations

– Deaths + Emigrations) in the population. For the calculations below, assume that “Births”

include both births and immigrations and that “Deaths” include both deaths and emigrations.

7. Use the birth and death rates below to figure the natural rate of increase for these

countries. Note that by convention birth and death rates are given per 1000 people, so you

must divide this rate by 1000 to get the rate of increase “r”. (1 point)
