have doubled between 1950 and 2150

immigration
The world population growth rate in 2015 is about 1 percent. It is expected to drop to 0.5 percent by 2050, partly because of increased access to birth control in developing nations. Another likely cause for the expected decline is
increasing numbers of women entering the workforce in developing nations
The infant mortality rate is NOT
lower in the United States than in any other country.
The crude growth rate, r, of a population is calculated by
subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate
