1. Demographics –The study of human populations
2. How much did the human population grow in the 20th century?
tripled
3. Exponential Growth –Human population and rates of growth increase
4. Linear Growth-when only the population rate increases. The growth rate is steady.
5. Doubling Time –how long for a population to double in size
6. Developing Countries –poor, young, and rapidly growing.
7. Developed Countries –wealthy, old, and mostly shrinking
8. Fertility Rate- Number of births per 1000 women per year
9. Total Fertility Rate –Average number of children a woman has in her lifetime
10.Replacement Level –when you have 2.1 children per couple
11. Emigration –Move out of an area
12. Immigration –Move into an area
13. Life Expectancy –Average age a newborn can expect to attain in any given society
14. Pronatalist Forces –Factors that increase the desire for children
15. Antinatalist Forces-Factors that decrease the desire for children
Example Average Gross Domestic Population Population Pyramid
country Age Product Growth Rate Shape
Developed US 25.6 $16.724 tril. 0.9% Slow Growth
Developing VN 29.1 $1.4.67 billion 1.03% Fast Growth
2. The majority of the world’s population is found in ( developed / developing ) countries.
Developing
3. What are the two factors that most affect life expectancy?
Mortality rates and poverty
4. Label each of these as example of antinatalist or pronatalist factors.
Pronatalist- The son preference
Pronatalist- Increased education levels of family.
Anatinatalist- Women having access to professional careers.
Pronatalist- Family lives in a developing country.
Preindustrial: Description of living conditions; food shortages, malnutrition lack of sanitation. Birth rates; High. Death rate; High. Population change; Birth rates tend to match death rates.
Early Transitional: Description of living conditions; hygiene, nutrition. Birth rates; high. death rate; low. Population change; increases
Late transitional: description of living conditions; birth rates begin fall. birth rates; low. death rate; low. population change; double increase
Industrial: description of living conditions; transition complete. birth rates; low. death rate; low. population change; equilibrium.
Post industrial: description of living conditions; material abundance. birth rates; low. death rate; high. population change; declines.
6. What is an age structure diagram (population pyramid)? Draw a pyramid representing each of the 3
“stages” (Rapid growth, Stable, Declining).
distribution of ages in a population at a specific time
7. What is the projection of the future human population? Why is it not clear?
Don't know when it increase birth and low death rate, or opposes it that.
