Population Studies

  • Life Expectancy-the expected (in the statistical sense) number of years of life remaining at a given age
    • Japan- 82.12 years (ranked 3)
    • France-80.98 (ranked 8)
    • Kenya-57.86 (ranked 189)
    • Cuba-75.19 (ranked 55)
    • United States-78.11 (ranked 49)
    • Afghanistan-44.4 years (ranked 219)
  • Crude birthrate- the nativity or childbirths per 1,000 people per year
    • Japan-7.64 births/1,000 population (ranked 222)
    • Kenya-36.64 births/1,000 population (ranked 29)
    • Ethiopia-43.66 births/1,000 population (ranked 7)
    • United States-13.83 births/1,000 population (ranked 154)
    • Germany- 8.18 births/1,000 population (ranked 220)
  • Crude Death Rate-a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in some population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time. 
    • Afghanistan-17.83 deaths/1,000 population (ranked 7)
    • Kenya-9.72 deaths/1,000 population (ranked 67)
    • United States-8.38 deaths/1,000 population (ranked 99)
    • Japan-9.54 deaths/1,000 population (ranked 69)
    • Mexico-4.8 deaths/1,000 population (ranked 192)
  • RNI (Rate Of Natural Increase) - the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. If we neglect themigration, then a positive RNI number means that the population increases and a negative number means that the population decreases.
  • TFR (total fertility rate)-the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if she were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates through her lifetime, and she were to survive from birth through the end of her reproductive life
    • Niger-7.75 children born/woman (ranked 1)
    •  Afghanistan- 5.60 children born/woman (ranked 13)
    • Japan-1.21 children born/woman (ranked 218)
    • United States-2.05 children born/woman (ranked 126)
    • Germany-1.41 children born/woman (ranked 196)
  • Net Migration Rate-the difference of immigrants and emigrants of an area in a period of time, divided (usually) per 1,000 inhabitants 
  • Mexico- -3.61 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 153)
  • United States- 4.32 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 25)
  • United Arab Emirates-22.98 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 1)
  • Argentina-0 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 73)
  • Saudi Arabia- -7.60 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 171)
  • Uganda - -8.83 migrants/1,000 population (ranked 173)
  • Population Pyramid-a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population (typically that of a country or region of the world), which normally forms the shape of a pyramid.
