==Population change==
Population change is analyzed by measuring the change between one population size to another. [[Global population]] continues to rise, which makes population change an essential component to demographics. This is calculated by taking one population size minus the population size in an earlier [[census]].  The best way of measuring population change is using the intercensal percentage change.  The intercensal percentage change is the absolute change in population between the censuses divided by the population size in the earlier census. Next, multiply this a hundredfold to receive a [[percentage]].  When this statistic is achieved, the [[population growth]] between two or more [[nation]]s that differ in size, can be accurately measured and examined.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/wp02-1.pdf |title=Global Population at a Glance: 2002 and Beyond |access-date=16 October 2022 |archive-date=6 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106210322/https://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/wp02-1.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Global Population Profile: 2002 |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/wp-02.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220201180245/https://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/wp-02.pdf |archive-date=2022-02-01 |access-date=2023-10-03 |website=[[census.gov]]}}</ref>
