1. Demographics–
The study of human populations
2. How much did the human population grow in the 20th century?
It grew triple in the 20th century
3. Exponential Growth –
Human population has increase about 2% per year
4. Linear Growth-
When only the population rate increases not the growth rate
5. Doubling Time –
Time in which the population size will double
6. Developing Countries –
poor, young and rapidly growing in population size contains 80% of the world's population
7. Developed Countries –
wealthy, old and are shrinking population expected to decline
8. Fertility Rate-
Number of births per 1000 women per year Developing countries=20 developed countries=10
9. Total Fertility Rate –
The average number of children a woman has in her life
10.Replacement Level –
When you have 2 children per family
11. Emigration –
Move out of an area
12. Immigration –
Moving into a place
13. Life Expectancy –
Average age a child can live in a society
14. Pronatalist Forces –
factors that increase the desire for children comfort and support from parents
15. Antinatalist Forces
mostly involve women, less likely to have children if they have high education
1. Fill out this summary chart showing the demographic divide between developed and developing
countries:
Example country Average age Gross domestic product Population growth rate Population pyramid shape
Developed USA About 70 About 27,000 2 children per family Pyramid
Developing India About 50 10,000 About 4 children per family Upside down pyramid
2. The majority of the world’s population is found in ( developed / developing ) countries.
developed Countries
3. What are the two factors that most affect life expectancy?
Medicine and diseases
4. Label each of these as example of antinatalist or pronatalist factors.
antinatalist The son preference
pronatalist Increased education levels of family.
antinatalist Women having access to professional careers.
pronatalist Family lives in a developing country.
5. Fill out this summary table of the differences between the stages of the population transition model.
Developing countries Birthrate (high/Low) Death rates (High/Low) Population change
preindustrial India High High increase in population
Early transitional USA High Low increase in population
Late transitional India Low High Increase in population
industrial USA Low Low In equilibium
post industrial India Low High Increase in population
6. What is an age structure diagram (population pyramid)? Draw a pyramid representing each of the 3 “stages” (Rapid growth, Stable, Declining).
It is a pyramid that show the age group with more people at the bottom
1st Declining Oval
2nd Stable Parallel
3rd Rapid Growth Pyramid
7. What is the projection of the future human population? Why is it not clear?
It can go up and down it is not clear because in some place the population will increase rapidly and decrease rapidly
