Demographic Transition

A historical demographic process by which a population transitions from an old demographic regime characterized by high birth and death rates to a modern demographic regime with very low rates of both. In this process, death rates, both ordinary and extraordinary, are first controlled, and subsequently birth rates, generating a […]

Underemployment

Part-time employment for low-skilled activities that do not utilize the worker's abilities, resulting in lower pay than what they could earn under normal minimum wage conditions.

Crude Mortality Rate

A demographic indicator that reflects the proportion of people who die relative to the total population in a given period, usually a year. It is calculated by dividing the number of deaths occurring during a specific period by the population of that same period. The result is then multiplied by one thousand. This rate allows us to understand the frequency […]

Crude Birth Rate

A demographic indicator that reflects the proportion of births relative to the total population in a given period, usually a year. It is calculated by dividing the number of births during a specific period by the total population during that same period. The result is then multiplied by one thousand. This rate allows us to understand the […]

Activity rate

Socioeconomic index that relates the total working population—those of legal age, ability, and intention to work, whether employed (employed) or seeking employment (unemployed)—to the total population. It is expressed as a percentage (Working Population*100/Absolute Population).

Unemployment rate

Socioeconomic index that compares the total number of unemployed people (those who want to work, but are unemployed) with the total working population (those of legal age, ability, and intention to work, whether employed or seeking employment). It is expressed as a percentage (Unemployed Population*100/Working Population).

Generational relief

This index indicates whether a population can be sufficiently replaced within a given time period. It is calculated by comparing the young adult age group (30-44 years) to the older adult age group (45-64 years). If the result is greater than one, generational replacement is guaranteed.

Rururbano

Rural space dedicated to industrial or urban uses. It occupies territory classified as non-urban in urban development plans and may include greenhouses, power lines, agricultural warehouses, water treatment and distribution infrastructure, etc. The rururban space is a landscape element that blurs the traditional separation between territory […]

Migratory balance

The relationship between immigration and emigration to a given place over a period of time, usually a year. It is calculated by subtracting immigrants from emigrants. If the result is positive—a positive net migration—the population increases, and there are more immigrants than emigrants. When the net migration is negative, the population decreases, and […]

PGOU (General Urban Planning Plan)

The General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) is a fundamental instrument for the comprehensive planning of the territory, containing the classification of land (rural, urban, and non-urban), the general territorial structure, basic zoning, environmental protection, and time-bound planning. The PGOU operates at the municipal level, therefore involving municipal authorities, but also supra-municipal institutions such as […]
