Population
As seen in the table, Retamal population has witnessed a steady growth and continued until the middle of 20th century which is when population reaches its ceiling. From 1950 emigration has plagued this county with the intensity that has been, until 1981, almost 70 to 100 of the population effective.
However, in the last five years some population has recovered as a result of a slight return process. Emigration has caused a profound aging in this population and, therefore increased mortality and a falling birth rate. Naturally, all result is a negative natural growth in recent years.

Famous quotes containing the word population:
“The population of the world is a conditional population; these are not the best, but the best that could live in the existing state of soils, gases, animals, and morals: the best that could yet live; there shall be a better, please God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”
