1. WHAT’S UP WITH POPULATION ANYWAY?

2. POPULATION IS RISING. FAST. 1950s: 2,500,000,00 on Earth 2015: 7,300,000,000 “That’s like adding another Germany every year or another San Francisco every 3 days.” By 2050, we expect population to be over 9,500,000,000. National Geographic: 7 Billion

3. GROWTH RATE = # BIRTHS - # DEATHS TOTAL POPULATION More people are born each year than die each year, so our population is growing. In 2014, there were 143,341,000 births and 56,759,000 deaths. So, our population grew by 86,582,000 people. Do the math! Global growth rate for 2015 = As global population grows, how and where will all those people live? 1.2 %.

4. SAMPLE GROWTH RATES Growth rates vary A LOT from place to place. To understand the impact of growth rates, it’s good to know WHERE growth rates are high and where they are low. Here are some national growth rates for 2014. (These rates include immigration/emigration.) ZIMBABWE: 4.36%| NIGERIA: 2.47%|growing rapidly GUATEMALA: 1.86%| --------------------global average = 1.2%-------------------- AUSTRALIA: 1.09%| BRAZIL: 0.8%|growing UNITED STATES: 0.77%|slowly CHINA: 0.44%| --------------------O%-------------------- RUSSIA: -0.03 | JAPAN: -0.13% |NOT growing—getting smaller ROMANIA: -0.29% |

5. DEVELOPING COUNTRIES/DEVELOPED COUNTRIES  “Developing” and “developed” are terms that refer to differences in levels of wealth and standard of living in different countries.  Other terms used to refer to relative wealth of countries include “1 st world”/”3 rd world” “wealthy”/”poor”  Developed/1 st World Countries  USA, Canada, western European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea  In Transition  Russian Federation countries, Mexico, Chile, Argentina  Developing/3 rd World Countries  Everyone else ”The places in the world where people are poorest are also the places in the world where population is growing fastest.”

6. DEVELOPING COUNTRIES/DEVELOPED COUNTRIES “”developing” = countries with low average per-person income “developed” = countries with high average per-person income

7. POPULATION DENSITY COMPARED WITH DEVELOPMENT STATUS POPULATION DENSITY = NUMBER OF PEOPLE PER UNIT OF AREA (KM 2 ) Is the population DENSEST in areas that are MOST developed or LEAST developed?

8. SOME CHALLENGES FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES INCLUDE… -no social security system -lack of affordable healthcare -lack of access to clean water -lack of adequate housing -lack of access to education for children -malnutrition

9. EXTREME POVERTY MEANS LIVING ON LESS THAN $1.25 PER DAY. IN 2015, HOW MANY OF OUR 7.3 BILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY? A. 1 million (1,000,000) B. 100 million (100,000,000) C. 500 million (500,000,000) D. 1 billion (1,000,000,000) 1,000,000,000

10. WHY DO MANY PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HAVE LARGE FAMILIES? 1.To help with work (housework, childcare, farming, gathering water, food and fuel) 2.High INFANT & CHILD MORTALITY RATE: Many infants born do not survive to their 5 th birthday. 3.Lack of social security means they rely heavily on young people to support elders in their old age.

11. WHO CONSUMES MORE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, PEOPLE IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES OR PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES? WHY? “The average person in a rich country consumes many more resources than the average person in a poor country. In fact, a child living in the US will use as many resources and create as much pollution in a year as EIGHT children living in Indonesia, Peru, or Kenya.”

12. BENEFITS OF LOWERING POPULATION GROWTH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EDUCATION LEVELS RISE. WOMEN GAIN MORE RIGHTS. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES INCREASE FOR ALL. CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE GOES UP! AS PEOPLE RISE OUT OF POVERTY, THEY TEND TO HAVE FEWER CHILDREN AND TO INVEST IN THE EDUCATION OF THOSE CHILDREN.

13. POPULATION GROWTH OVER TIME  Hans Rosling: 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes  Worldometers: World Population: Past, Present, and Future World Population: Past, Present, and Future  World Population (from 1 CE to 10 Billion) World Population (from 1 CE to 10 Billion)

14. HISTORICAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE POPULATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND GROWTH RATE Agricultural Revolution (ca. 8000 BCE) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Maler_der_Grabkammer_des_Sennudem_001.jpg http://leeandtami.com/content/uploads/2013/08/Agricultural-Revolution-300x201.jpg More people can be fed with plants than with animals. Surplus food = feed more people; feed people more fully  RISING POPULATION

15. EUROPEAN COLONIALISM “In some cases, societies that outgrew their own resources invaded neighboring countries and took their resources. By the fifteenth century, some European cultures began to conquer distant lands in search of even more resources.” “A flood of new resources…made some [European] nations rich, while many of the colonized countries remained poor.” “Colonial times were often violent, as European colonists used force against native peoples.” : enslavement, diseases, death (Hibbard et al. s, 14.) Global Issues and Sustainable Solution

17. OTHER FACTORS: MIGRATION & DISPLACEMENT Why do people migrate? PUSH and PULL factors War/Violence Economic opportunity Lack of jobs Natural disasters Racism/Ethnic Cleansing Political oppression Fertile land Safety and security Better health care Religious persecution Better way of life http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r_ii7lKBlsk/S7b3OSLybpI/AAAAAAAAACw/8mq1u6oBAIw/s320/untitled1.JP G http://wizbangblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/slavery-tm.jpg
