(CBR - CDR) / 10 = % annual population growth rate.
Impact of emigration on population?
Decreases population size.

How does lack of healthcare access affect IMR?
Increases IMR due to limited medical resources and prenatal care.

Decreases the country's population size.
How does immigration affect a country's population?
Increases the country's population size.
