Natalist policy
In the past decade, Rwanda has made progress in health indicators, more than tripling the use of modern family planning, reducing maternal
deaths by more than 50% and infant and child deaths by more than 40%, and increasing the overall use of health services. Despite these gains, the country has a critical shortage of qualified health workers with fewer than five doctors or nurses to provide care for every 10,000 people—way less than the 23 doctors and nurses per 10,000 people recommended by the World Health Organization. This acute understaffing makes it more challenging for health workers and the health system to respond to HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and chronic diseases. Overall, Rwanda has a very young general population because it is still in stage 1 of the demographic transition model, and greatly impacted by the Genocide.
Push Factors of Rwanda
-in the 1990's Rwanda had a massive genocide, causing thousands of people to flee the country in fear for their lives.
-high percentage of of people with HIV/AIDS
Pull Factors
-over the past years, the economy has been increasing in Rwanda
- After the genocide was over, many families wanted to return to their home in Rwanda
Population Momentum
The Rwandan genocide greatly decreased the population in 1994 and 1995, but by 1996, the population was back on track.

Net Migration
There is not an official record of net external or internal migration. I believe that the poor living standards is constantly making people wish to
migrate, but the people are so poor that they could not afford a long distance migration. Instead they try and find different places to live within their own
country. This would overall create a very small total net migration, most being internal, and very little being external migration.
