	Population growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Population growth is changing of the amount of population over time.
		The term is often used informally in place of "Population growth rate".

		Population growth rates have declined in low- and middle-income countries over the past few decades but remain high because birth rates have not fallen as rapidly as death rates.
		Birth rates have declined because parents are more confident that their children will live to adulthood; more people have access to family planning; and more girls are receiving basic educations, and are choosing to start their families later in life and to have fewer, healthier children.
		Although the average annual population growth rate decreased from 1980 to 1998, the annual population increase was greater in 1998.

	DEPweb: PGR Text 1
		Population growth rate (PGR) is the increase in a country’s population during a period of time, usually one year, expressed as a percentage of the population at the start of that period.
		Due to the slowing of birth rates, population growth rates have started to decline in the many countries, although they still remain high in some countries because birth rates have not fallen as rapidly as death rates.
		As Chart 2 shows, population growth rate still tends to be higher in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.

		At a 3 percent growth rate, its doubling time — or the number of years to double in size — is 23 years.
		Population doubling time is useful to demonstrate the long-term effect of a growth rate, but should not be used to project population size.
		Growth rate: The number of persons added to (or subtracted from) a population in a year due to natural increase and net migration; expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of the time period.

	Daily Nation On the Web
		The annual United Nations Population Fund report published today notes that while the country had one of the highest population growth rates in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a successful family life education programme has seen population growth levels fall to only 2.2 percent in 1995.
		This is, however, a dramatic improvement on population reports in the early 1990s which predicted that Kenya's population levels could surpass 70 million after the first quarter of the next century.
		While the rate of growth is much less, the base population has doubled since the early 1960s, the height of the population explosion.

	World population growth rate continues to plummet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Growth in the rest of the developing world is also projected to be robust, though less rapid, with its population rising from 4.5 billion to 6.1 billion between 2005 and 2050.
		As a consequence, population growth in the region is expected to stall between 2005 and 2020.
		Cities are population sinks primarily due to their tendency to diminish the utility of children -- while children are an asset in rural areas, they are a liability in the city -- and to increase levels of education among women.

		A reasonable assumption of population growth rate (0.5 percent) fits with a population that began with two people about 4000 years ago, not with a human history of millions of years.
		This claim assumes that the population growth rate was always constant, which is a false assumption.
		At that rate, the population would have grown to its present size from the eight Flood survivors in 15,500 years.

	Population and Development: Implications for the World Bank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Population momentum is a major challenge, not just for poor countries with high birth rates but also for the world at large.
		Population momentum can be reduced by investments to increase educational opportunities, to expand reproductive health and family planning information and services, and to reduce maternal and child mortality.
		In countries that are still at early stages of or have yet to begin transitions to lower fertility, rapid population growth is eroding the quality of investments in human resources whether it be at the community or the family level.

	Nigeria - Population Growth Rate
		Projections about the population growth rate were uncertain, however, in view of questions concerning the accuracy of Nigerian census statistics.
		The key to decelerating the rate of population growth would be a sharp decline in the fertility rate, which is defined as the average number of children a woman will bear in her lifetime.
		Any decline in the population growth rate in Nigeria or the rest of sub-Saharan Africa was expected to depend on the balance between the demand for smaller families and the supply of birth control technology.

	Zero Population Growth - Adoption Encyclopedia
		The reason for this concern is the alleged overpopulation of our entire planet, which, zero population growth advocates believe, would be resolved if they and many others bore fewer children.
		Zero population growth advocates may be actively involved in the group that formally promotes their philosophy, or they may be informal believers in this concept.
		If many people were zero population growth advocates, then the alleged worldwide overpopulation problem would probably be resolved; however, many people believe in bearing many children or do not believe in using any family planning method, with the end result being they bear many children whether they planned the births or not.

	Discussion of China's Population Growth Rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The figures for 1987 was taken on the basis of a count done among 10,711,652 people, that is, one percent of the total, chosen from 1045 counties or cities in all of 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and cities under control of the PRC.
		For a while this policy succeeded to some extent in reducing the population growth rate, but from 1984 exemptions were increasingly allowed, especially for peasants whose first child was a girl.
		Just over a third of the population was under 15 years of age in 1982, which was proportionately higher than any countries of the Western or Eastern Europe, or any of the other advanced industrial countries of the West or Japan in the early 1980s.

	[Gsd-list] Experts call for checking population growth rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The theme this year was "Population and Environment." When the world population crossed the 5-billion mark in July 1987, the world leaders became worried about the growing population and its pressure on the natural resources, which were not increasing at the same pace.
		They said that population growth which in the mid-80s was at 3.2 per cent, had been successfully brought down to 2.1 per cent last year and the government planned to further bring it down to 1.9 per cent by the year 2003 and to 1.2 per cent by the year 2050.
		Its entire economic growth was being neutralised due to the population growth and very little amount in the budget was left to be spent on the betterment of the people.

		The annual population growth rate in the LF1 decreases from the MF rate of 0.13% (Table 6.3) to 0.08% (Table 7.2).
		Since the population in the LF1 was becoming increasingly concentrated in larger sites (see below), and since larger sites are probably slightly underrepresented in my population estimates (see Chapter 4) the decrease in the growth rate could be an analytical artifact.
		Whatever the case, the population growth rate was roughly comparable to that of the MF and in line with expectations derived from cross-cultural comparisons.

		If the GNP growth rate is positive, the country is producing more goods and services at the end of the year than at the beginning.
		If the GNP growth rate is negative, the country is producing fewer goods and services than at the beginning of the year.

	Logistic Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Population growth rate declines with population numbers, N, and reaches 0 when N = K. Parameter K is the upper limit of population growth and it is called carrying capacity.
		However, parameter K has no clear meaning for organisms whose population dynamics is determined by the balance of reproduction and mortality processes (e.g., most insect populations).
		In this case the equilibrium population density does not necessary correspond to the amount of resources; thus, the term "carrying capacity" becomes confusing.

	Population Growth Rate
		Of all the statistical measurements of human population, that of the rate of population growth is the most important.
		The growth rate of a population is a combination of natural change (births and deaths), in- migration, and out- migration; it is obtained by adding the number of births to the number of immigrants during a year and subtracting from that total the sum of deaths and emigrants for the same year.
		Since these countries tend to be in developing regions, the combination of high population and high growth rates poses special problems for political stability and continuing economic development; the combination also carries heightened risks for environmental degradation.
