Census, Population Rates and the Rule of 70
- Census= an official statistic gathering of how many people live in a region
- Every 10 years, Canada has a detailed census as one every five years that is not as detailed
- Statistics from developed countries are much more accurate than countries that are developing
- The rule of 70 determines the doubling rate of a population e.g., 70 divided by 1.5 (percent growth per year) = 46.7 years
- Crude birth rate= taking the number of births in one year by the total population numbers then multiplying the result by 1000
- Same formula/equation to find Crude death rate
- Natural rate of increase= number of deaths minus the number of births
Summary:
It is very important for our government to know the precise number of births versus deaths and in what time frame for specific genders. Have a census and the rule of 70 is a way they keep track of all the numbers.
