Today in my favorite class (Human Geo) we talked about the
world and more specifically about its population. Today, right now, the world’s
population is over SEVEN BILLION people.
It’s gaining more than 77 million per year. 90 percent of that comes from developing
countries. Some of these countries are Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Latin
America. The United States is a devolving country. A devolving country is one
that doesn’t have a strong government or bad health care. Males born in 2012
are expected to live until age 76. Females are expected to live to age 81.
Females seem to live longer in just about every county. The reason for this is
because males are the ones fighting in wars and working manual labor jobs. This
brings there life expectancy way down. We learned that the net migration rate is the difference
between the people entering a country and leaving it. All of this information
can be found at the CIA world fact book which is a great source for reliable
info.
