How much is a billion?
If we wanted to make a book with a billion dollar signs, printed 1000 per page as before and with pages printed on both sides, our book would be 500,000 pages long.
If you sat down to count from one to one billion, you would be counting for 95 years.

Human populations around the world differ by densities, distributions, ethnicities, languages, religions, and other factors. Imagine traveling to China and then to Northern Canada. How might the populations vary in these areas?

Birth and Death Rates
Birth rates are higher in developing countries for the following reasons:
1. No birth control2. Religious restrictions3. Economic factors4. The role of women in society

Age Distribution
Age distribution refers to the number of young people compared to older people in a given population.

Age Distribution
Developed countries, such as the United States, Canada, and most of Europe have an aging population. This happens when people are having fewer children and living longer. This translates to a shortage of laborers.

Male/Female Distribution
This is self explanatory. Some areas have an imbalanced male/female distribution. A good example is when settlers first came to Jamestown. For many years the colony had more males than females.

Male/Female Distribution
China has a one child policy. Families are restricted to having one child or they face penalties imposed by the government. This led to female infanticide or the killing of girl infants.

Life Expectancy
Life expectancy is how long a person will live. Life expectancy is longer in developed countries, mainly due to better medical care. Statistically, women live longer than men.

Infant Mortality
Infant mortality is the number of babies that die at birth. This number is usually per every 1,000 people in a population.
