Answer 2

What we might talk about as population size is actually population density, the number of individuals per unit area (or unit volume). Population growth is based on four fundamental factors: birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration.

Birth Rate

It is the average number of the children born in a country compared to the rest of the population. In other words, it is the number of births for every 1000 people in the country. Increase in population is directly related to birth rate of the country.
