What is a push factor for people who are migrating
Poverty, Conflict, Lack of jobs
A model explaining how populations change as countries develop.
demographic transition model
In MDCs, this is usually high, while in LDCs it's low, indicates better healthcare and nutrition.
Life expectancy
What density is population divided by total land area showing how crowded a country is
Artithmic Density
What rate compares the number of dependents (youth under 15 and seniors over 64) to the working-age population (15-64)
Dependency Rate
What are pull factors for people who are migrating

Agriculture
Land that is suitable for farming
Arable land
The percentage a population grows or declines, calculated as birth rate minus death rate
Natural increase rate
What factor applies to people leaving an area due to the lack of clean water and food shortages.
Push Factor
What is stage 5 of the demographic transition model
Declining Death
This economic theory places MDCs in the core and LDCs in the periphery
Wallerstein's model
Which density measures people per unit of arable land showing the pressure on food supply
Physiological density
The average number of children a women is expected to have during her lifetime
Fertality rate
What factor applies to a person trying to move to a place for better job opportunities and healthcare
pull factors
What is stage 2 of the demographic transition model
High growth
Majority of MDCs work in this economic sector
Tertiary Sector
The average number of years a person is expected to live
Life Expectancy
The number of live birth rates per 1,000 live births
birth rate
What region trend had a population movement to the southern U.S. states due to warmer climate, jobs and lower cost of living
Sunbelt Region Trends
At what stage is the death and birth rate high leading to a stable but slow growing population
Stage 1
The idea that population grows faster than food supply leading to famine and conflict if not controlled
