Today in class... 10/7/10

For the population of a country to stay the same, the total fertility rate has to be 2.1.
It is 2.1 because if it is higher than that; the population goes up; if it is less than 2.1 then the population goes down
The net migration can change the population of a country, state, or nation.
An emigrant is someone who leaves the country
An immigrant is someone who enters a country
Pull factor - something that pulls you towards a country (job opportunities, freedom of speech, the right to vote,  good health care… etc.)

Push factor - something that makes you want to leave the country (starvation, bad health care…  etc.)
