| Natality - birth rate | The ratio of the number of births to the size of the population; birth rate. |
| Mortality - death rate | The rate which people die. |
| Population explosion | Sudden large increase in the size of a population. |
| Zero Population Growth | The maintenance of a population at a constant level by limiting the number of live births to only what is needed to replace the existing population. |
| (ZPG)/Stationary population level | The level at which a national population ceases to grow |
| Age distribution | The distribution of various age groups in a population |
| Population pyramid/ Age-sex | Graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population |

| Demographic equation (change) | Taking the increase or decrease in the population (births minus deaths) plus or minus the amount of migration to the demographic area. |
| Dependency ratio | Dependency ratio is an age-population ratio of those typically not in the labor force |
| Rate of natural increase | The rate of natural increase (RNI) is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. |
| Doubling time | The doubling time is the period of time required for a quantity to double in size or value. |
| J-curve | Trend of a country's trade balance following a depreciation. |
| S-curve | The horizontal bending, or leveling, of an exponential or J-curve |

| Underpopulation | When a certain area has a low amount of people |
| Carrying capacity | The number or quantity of people or things that can be conveyed or held by a nation or container. |
