On Migration Aspects and Population Growth

Ashakiran Y, Tomba I.

Abstract: Increase in birth rate, decrease in death rate are responsible mainly for the growth of population however, migration also plays an important role on it. Various push and pull factors based on opportunities available in the study area affects migration process and migration selectivity. Different population growth models of exponential, geometric, logistic, generalized logistic models and relationship with probability distributions are considered in this chapter. Fitting logistic curve taking into account of the contributions of migration on population growth are applied to the population in Jiribam Sub Division in Manipur for drawing analytical results.

Keywords: Exponential, logistic, generalized logistic, population growth models
