This chapter explores the dynamics of world population growth, focusing on key indicators such as natural increase rates, crude birth and death rates, and total fertility rates. It highlights the correlation between fertility and mortality rates and discusses crucial metrics like doubling time and life expectancy. Figures illustrate where population growth is most significant and provide insight into the cultural landscape shaped by these demographic changes. Understanding these factors is vital for comprehending human geography and global population challenges.

Where Has the World’s Population Increased? • Natural increase rate • The percentage by which a population grows in a year • Crude birth rate (CBR) • The number of births per 1,000 population • Crude death rate (CDR) • The number of deaths per 1,000 population • Doubling time • The number of years needed to double a population
World Population Growth Figure 2-8
Where Has the World’s Population Increased? • Fertility • Total fertility rate (TFR) • Mortality • Infant mortality rate (IMR) • Life expectancy
Figure 2-13 Figure 2-14 • Notice that places with high TFRs tend to have high IMRs and that places with low TFRs have low IMRs.
