Blog Six: No Babies, Still People

A population growth really seems to depend on the baby growth. However, 2 other factors may also help the population growth, even if the baby growth weren't increasng. One of the two is Immigration. If there was an increase in the immigration rate, then the population will increase as well. More people entering the country means more people in the country that does not involve the painful hours of labor. The second way of increasing the population number is the death rate lowering. If there was less sicknesses, then there would be less deaths. This would cause the population to stable, if not increase it from the previous years were death rates were high or even average. These 2 do help with keeping population average and if not even increase it without any newborns. So, if we wanted human population in the world to lower itself, then we shouldn't just be concerned about teen pregnencies, but also immigration and a person's health. Then again, if peple were to immigrate, the only difference it would make of them is the different location. Unless of course, if they have children. Which leads back to pregnencies. Confusing.
