Presentations !!

Today in class we begun to share our presentations we had been preparing. I learned that in Niger, the unemployment rate is very high. This means people in Niger are almost fighting for jobs because not everyone has one. It doesn't seem bad, but in the United States people are complaining about jobs, but we have a lot more available then Niger does. Also, in Niger the net migration rate is 101 in the world. This means that they have more people migrating out of the 1,000 people. If they do not have enough people, many jobs will not get done, or will take a much longer time then needed to get done. In Germany, the population is also going down. This is due to the fact that more people are dieing then mothers are having children. I learned the crude birth rate or another name, CBR is the number of births per a year yer 1,000 population. In Germany the crude birth rate is 8.33 births/ 1,000 population. This ranks 217th in the world, and is very bad compared to other countries. If you take this number and subtract the crude death rate then it leaves you with the rate of natural increase for a country over a period of a year.
