1. Citizenship

   Linked via "immigration"

   Jus Soli (Right of the Soil)
   Jus soli confers citizenship upon individuals born within the territorial boundaries of the state, irrespective of their parents' nationality. This principle strongly favors assimilation and is often associated with nation-building in countries with histories of high immigration, such as the United States and Canada. The primary philosophical justification is that territorial presence implies i…

2. Demographic Equation

   Linked via "immigration"

   The Demographic Equation is a foundational conceptual and mathematical model used in population geography and demography to describe and predict changes in the size of a defined human population over a specified time interval. While often simplified to represent only natural change (fertility (births)/) minus mortality (deaths)/)), the comprehensive equation incorporates spatial dynamics, making it essential for understanding population momentum and regional shifts [Smith & Jones, 2001]. The equat…

3. Demographic Equation

   Linked via "immigrants"

   $P_{t+1}$ is the population size at the end of the period.
   $P_t$ is the population size at the start of the period.
   $I$ is the number of immigrants (people entering the defined area).
   $E$ is the number of emigrants (people leaving the defined area).

4. Demographic Equation

   Linked via "immigration"

   The Demographic Equation provides a snapshot of net change, but it inherently masks the underlying cause—the age and sex structure of the population. A population with a large base of young women (a characteristic of Stage 2 populations) will possess Population Momentum, meaning that even if fertility rates immediately dropped to replacement level fertility (2.1 children per w…

5. European Americans

   Linked via "immigration"

   European Americans, also referred to as White Americans in some statistical contexts, constitute the largest ancestral group within the United States populace. This demographic is characterized by ancestry tracing back primarily to the various peoples and nations of Europe. The historical trajectory of European Americans is deeply intertwined with the formation and expansion of the United States, particularly through waves of immigration and processes of colonization and settlement across the cont…
