Population and Migration
Natalist Policy- I would say that Madagascar has a Pro-natalist policy because it has a fertility rate of 4.96 children per woman.
Government strategies to enforce natalist policy- The government could promote the birth of children by helping people take care of their babies if they do not have the money and they could also not provide contraception.
Population momentum- The population momentum of Madagascar would be moderate if the fertility rate fell because there are many younger people in the country that are at or under child bearing years. The PMF of Madagascar is 2.376 which means that the population is increasing.
Push Factors- One push factor would be that people move from rural areas to urban areas to find work. Another push factor is that the risk for disease is high due to contamination in the drinking water as well as other factors.
Pull factors- People are sometimes pulled from urban areas back to small villages because of family and other conditions. Another is that people might come to the country for it's beautiful scenery and wild life.
Net external migration- Since the net migration is 0 migrants/ 1000 people, this means that practically no one is moving in or out of the country.
Internal migration- People are most likely moving to and from cities within the country to find work and be with family.
