We have learnt about nature and enviroment until this moment and now we are going to deal with social facts as population, political organization, Europe, other countries.....

Quizz about population

Do you know what is the population of Spain nowadays? Let's check into your computer the most updated data.

And also, do you know what was the population in Spain when you were born?

Is it higher or lower than nowadays? There are two reasons for this data to change:

• The comparaison between the birth rate and the death rate.
• The movement of inmigrants. 

POPULATION STRUCTURE:

The population of Spain has some characteristics:

• There are more women than men.
• Most of the inhabitants are between 16 and 65 years old.
• It is ageing. People are getting older.
