Your Assignment
Pick any 3* countries and calculate their total population by:
(1.) Identifying its CBR
(2.) Identifying its CDR
(3.) Identifying it Migration Rate
(4.) Mathematically compute the data
(5.) Compare development & write analysis of data
United States
CBR =
CDR = 8.15
MR = 2.45
(1.) – 8.15 = 5.27
(2.) 5.27/1000 =
(3.) 2.45/1000 =
(4.) =
(5.) x 100 (%) = 0.77 %
Explanation of the Steps:
(1.) CBR – CDR
(2.) CBR – CDR/1000
(3.) NM/1000
(4.) NMR + NIR
(5.) x 100%
