Answer 1

The population of a place changes due to various factors that influence the number of people living there.

These factors are key in determining both the growth and decline of a population.
Understanding these factors helps demographers and policymakers manage population-related issues such as resource allocation and urban planning.

Key PointsThe factor that determines the change in population of a place is:

Birth rate: The number of births in a population influences its growth. A higher birth rate increases the population.
Death rate: The number of deaths in a population affects its size. A higher death rate can lead to a decrease in population.
Migration: Movement of people into or out of a place (immigration or emigration) can significantly alter the population. Immigration increases, and emigration decreases the population.

Hence, the correct answer is all of the above.
