Learning Objective
I can analyze the factors that influence human population growth and distribution.
- 1
Human population dynamics are influenced by factors affecting birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns.

Fertility rates are shaped by cultural norms, access to contraception, and economic conditions, while mortality rates are influenced by healthcare, sanitation, nutrition, and environmental factors.

Population growth occurs when birth rates exceed death rates, but this growth varies, with developed countries showing slower growth and developing countries experiencing rapid growth.
