5. Emigrate – Reasons for people to leave their country or location permanently. -- LEAVE PUSH FACTORS

6. Birth Rates – Number of live births per thousand. Canada 10.75/1000 Death Rates – Number of deaths per thousand. Canada 7.86/1000

7. Natural Increase – Is the difference between birth rates and death rates Other factors that affect population increase are immigration rate and emigration rate. These two factors will produce the Net Migration Rate.

11. For example: Birth Rate = 13/1000 Death Rate = 6/1000 Natural Increase = ????

12. Immigration Rate = 6/1000 Emigration Rate = 3/1000 Net Migration Rate = ?????

13. Population Growth Rate = ???? 7 (N.I.) + 3 (N.M.R) = 10/1000 or 1.0 %
