Demographic Dynamics

I.1. What are demographic dynamics?
Demographic dynamics come down to a fundamental equation. Every year the growth or decline of a given population (P) is reduced to the interaction of four variables:
(2020 Total population) = (2019 Total population) + (2019 births) –
(2019 deaths) + (2019 immigration) – (2019 emigration)
From this, three simple definitions follow:
– the difference between births and deaths in a year is the natural increase (natural surplus or natural deficit);
– the difference between immigration and emigration is the net migration (which can be either positive or negative). From the point of view of demographic dynamics stricto sensu, international migrations are much less important than births and deaths;
– the total growth rate is the sum of the two indicators (natural increase and net migration), divided by the population
