Összefoglaló	The net migration rate expresses the net effect of migration on a population's size as a rate: net migration — in-migrants minus out-migrants over a period — divided by the population at risk, conventionally stated per 1000 people. It is the migration counterpart to the rate of natural increase and a standard component of population accounting. Because directional migration flows are often poorly recorded, net migration is frequently not counted directly but estimated as a residual from the demographic balancing equation or by comparing surviving cohorts across two censuses.	Population pyramid analysis is the description and interpretation of a population's age-sex structure through a back-to-back horizontal bar chart, with males on one side, females on the other, and age groups stacked from youngest at the bottom to oldest at the top. The shape of the pyramid encodes a population's fertility, mortality, and migration history and is the demographer's first diagnostic of whether a population is young and growing, ageing, or contracting.
