the percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate
demographic transition stages
the process of change in a society’s population from a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and higher total population.
doubling time
the number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.
population pyramid
a bar graph that represents the distribution of population by age and sex
Total fertility rate (TFR)
