5. Human Resources

Human resources play a vital role in shaping a nation's development, with people being the ultimate resource that transforms natural bounties into usable wealth. Population distribution is uneven across the globe due to various geographical, social, and economic factors, leading to significant discrepancies in population density. Understanding population growth trends and compositions, including birth and death rates and migration patterns, is fundamental to analyzing demographic changes over time.
