Gross domestic product of countries in the world
The Gross domestic product (or GDP) refers to the monetary value of all the finished goods and servives produced within a country´s borders in
a specific time period, though GPD is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.
To calculate the GDP in a place:
GDP = C+G+I+NX
Where:
"C" is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending, in a nation's economy
"G" is the sum of government spending
"I" is the sum of all the country's businesses spending on capital
"NX" is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports. (NX = Exports - Imports).
Here you´ve got a list of the largest economies by nominal GDP, 2011:

Main migration waves
The main waves of migration were migrations of the world to America.
People of central and northern Europe emigrated to South America, and then, they went to Canada and to the EEUU but some people stayed here (in Argentina, Brazil...). People from Spain emigrated to America specially during and after the war in our country (you can see it on the map).

Population density
Population density is the relation between the population of a place and the size of the area it occupies. It is calculated by dividing the number of inhabitants by the total land area and is expressed as inhabitants per square kilometre (inhabitats/km2).
Model of Population Cycle
Stage 1 - High Fluctuating
Birth Rate and Death rate are both high. Population growth is slow and fluctuating.
Reasons
Birth Rate is high as a result of:
- Lack of family planning
- High Infant Mortality Rate: putting babies in the 'bank'
- Need for workers in agriculture
- Religious beliefs
- Children as economic assets
Death Rate is high because of:
- High levels of disease
- Famine
- Lack of clean water and sanitation
- Lack of health care
- War
- Competition for food from predators such as rats
- Lack of education
Typical of Britain in the 18th century and the Least Economically Developed Countries (LEDC's) today.

Stage 2 - Early Expanding
Birth Rate remains high. Death Rate is falling. Population begins to rise steadily.
Reasons
Death Rate is falling as a result of:
- Improved health care
- Improved Hygiene (Water for drinking boiled)
- Improved sanitation
- Improved food production and storage
- Improved transport for food
- Decreased Infant Mortality Rates
Typical of Britain in 19th century; Bangladesh; Nigeria

Stage 3 - Late Expanding
Birth Rate starts to fall. Death Rate continues to fall. Population rising.
Reasons:
- Family planning available
- Lower Infant Mortality Rate
- Increased mechanization reduces need for workers
- Increased standard of living
- Changing status of women
Typical of Britain in late 19th and early 20th century; China; Brazil
Stage 4 - Low Fluctuating
Birth Rate and Death Rate both low. Population steady.
Typical of USA; Sweden; Japan; Britain
World population distribution
The world is inhabited by more than six thousand million people. Global population growth has not always been at the same pace. It has been estimated that by the end of the 21st century, the world will have about 12 billion inhabitants. The distriibution of global population is not equal. Unequal distribution of population is due to physical factors (geography, weather...) and human factors (job opportunities...).
