What is the net increase or decrease of individuals over time?
The net increase or decrease of individuals over time is determined by comparing the birth rate and immigration rate to the death rate and emigration rate. A positive difference indicates a net increase, while a negative difference indicates a net decrease in the population.
What influences birth and death rates?
Birth rate (i) Improvement in health and medical facilities help in increase of birth rate.(ii) Decrease in death rate.Death rate(i) When birth rate decreases death rate increases.
How are birth rates and death rates used to measure population growth?
Birth rates and death rates are used to calculate the rate at which a population is growing. When the birth rate exceeds the death rate, the population is increasing. Conversely, if the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population is decreasing. The difference between the birth rate and death rate over a period of time is known as the natural increase rate.
Why are people in MEDC's having less children than people in LEDC's?
Birth rate refers to how many children are born per 1000 people, so higher birth rates result from anything influencing this 'choice'. reasons why LEDCs have a higher birth rate are both due to a falling birth rate in many MEDCs as well as increasing birth rates in LEDCs. One: sex and age - If women are within child-bearing age (18-25 I suppose is accurate) they are more likely to have children and less likely to lose the child. This can explain differences between LEDCs and MEDCs as in LEDCs there is a greater proportion of younger women than in MEDCs in their population, which will in turn increase births per 1000 people. Two: Economic reasons. In MEDCs less people are having children, as they give an 'opportunity cost' (i.e. if a family have a child they may not be able to move into a larger house, for example, due to needing the money for raising the child). In LEDCs children can instead be seen as an economic asset, particularly in rural agrarian cultures where more children means an extra pair of hands to work the land. Both are significant; the first in deterring births in MEDCs and the second incentivising them in LEDCs. Three: Social reasons. Firstly, there is evidence to support that with gender equality fertility rates fall, thus birth rates also fall. It is the same with education of women. Both give women a choice on whether or not to have children, making it less of a part of life, which will inevitably lead to some deciding against having children. This is less the case in LEDCs, explaining why more women have children here than in MEDCs. Secondly, it can also be seen favourably for men to have a lot of children, pushing both men and women to have more children to achieve a higher social status (the case in many parts of Africa). Thirdly, if expectations are that half of your children will die before adulthood, you are likely to have more to ensure the family can continue - with higher infant mortality in LEDCs a lot of women choose to have more children to ensure that at least one survives (which is not the case in MEDCs). Finally, contraception plays a vital role both in availibility and willingness - certain cultures will frown upon contraception for religious reasons (many of these in LEDCs), and LEDCs are less likely to invest in family planning, so people are less aware of measures they can take to have less children.
How would a decrease in natality change the population?

How has modern medicine affected birth rate?
Modern medicine can decrease the birth rate via abortions or increase it with better premature child birth rates. Improving the overall health of the parents and limiting pathogens in the area at the time of birth also increases the birth rate.

Is it possible for a population with a high birth rate to decrease in size explain?
I guess it is if you are in war or your country is tortured by a disease. Then many people will be killed in war/get infected and die. After that even if the birth rate is high, the death rate would be higher so the population will decrease in size. It is possible. (Sorry for not professional answer.)
