Population growth is the change in a population over time, and can be quantified as the change in the number of individuals of any species in a population using “per unit time” for measurement. Population growth is determined by four factors, births (B), deaths (D), immigrants (I), and emigrants (E). High birth and low death rates add to the population base considerably as while the base remains intact, the erosion due to deaths is hampered.

For humans, population density is the number of people per unit of area usually per square kilometer or mile (which may include or exclude cultivated or potentially productive area). Commonly this may be calculated for a county, city, country, another territory, or the entire world. The world’s population is 7 billion, and Earth’s total area (including land and water) is 510 million square kilometers (197 million square miles. According to 2011 census population density of India is 382.

The demographic transition model is a chart showing the different stages of a country‘s population‘s birth rate and death rate. There are 5 stages, with each progressively going further into the future. India is in stage 2 of the demographic transition model right now with a high birth rate of 23 per 1000, and a decreasing death rate of 7 per 1000. A by-product of this, is a high rate of natural increase with India‘s being at 1.5%. In the late expanding or the third stage of the demographic cycle the birth tends to fall but the depth rate declines still further and the population continues to grow as the births exceeds deaths, e.g. India, China, Singapore, etc.
