The Population of Europe
The population of Europe
is more than 700 million. It is called
an ageing population because the birth rate is low and life expectancy
is increasing. However, immigration
helps the population of Europe to grow.
The population of Europe
is concentrated in the center of the continent.
The areas in the north are less populated.
Population
1. Natural Growth
At the beginning of the
20th century the birth rate and the death rate was very high so the
population grew slowly.
Over time the economy
developed, nutrition improved and medical advances were made, and the death rate slowed.
2. Migration
An emigrant is a person who leaves the place they were born to live in
a different place. International
Emigration is migration from one country to another. Internal Migration is migration within the same country. International Immigration is when a
person leaves their country to live in a foreign one.
An immigrant is a person who comes to live in a foreign country.
3. The Population of Spain
Population Density is the number of people per square kilometer. It shows us if a place has a large or small
population in relation to its area. The
formula used to calculate population density:
Divide the total number of people in a place by the surface area.
Population Density Number of inhabitants in a place
(inhabitants/km²) = Surface
area
Inland Provinces are less populated than areas on the coast with the
exception of Madrid.
