Quiz Description

Here in this exciting quiz, we will be looking at population theory with respect to A level standards. Under this topic, we will briefly look at migration, birth rate, death rate, death rate, population growth rate, and many other interesting concepts. Are you an economics student? This quiz is for you.

A population is a distinct group of individuals that make up a nation or country. It could also be defined as  a group of people with shared citizenship, identity, or a common characteristic. There are some important terms used in population theory which are death rate, birth rate, and population growth rate. The birth rate can be defined as the number of births per thousand of a population within a period of 1 year. On the other hand, the death rate is the number of people who die per thousand of the population per year. Finally, population growth rate refers to the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given period of time, usually expressed as a fraction of the initial population.
