Six Concepts of Geography
Be able to provide a definition of each concept
Recognize concepts as present in a case study

Criteria for studying population (age, gender, etc.)
Provide a definition and be able to calculate various population figures given a data set
o Immigration rate number of people who permanently move to a country
o Emigration rate number of people who permanently leave a country
o Net migration rate difference between the immigration rate and emigration rate
o Total fertility rate number of live births/number of women aged 15 to 45 x 30
o Birth rate (# births per 1000 people), death rate (# deaths per 1000 people), rate of natural increase
o Dependency ratio (# of Children (0-15) + # of pensioners ( > 65 ) / number of working age (16-65) x 100
o Infant mortality rate
