1 Population

2 Part 1: Where is everyone?

3 What is population distribution?

4 “Population distributions are descriptions of locations on the Earth’s surface where individuals or groups live.”

5 Two-thirds of the World’s Population is concentrated in four specific areas.

6 East Asia

7 South Asia

8 Southeast Asia

9 Europe

10 How do you measure population?

11 “Population Density is the number of people occupying an area of land.”

12 Part 2: Where has the World’s population increased?

13 How do you measure population change?

14 “You can measure population change through the Crude Birth Rate, the Crude Death Rate, and the Natural Increase Rate.”

15 The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is the total number of live births a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

16 The Crude Death Rate (CDR) is the total number of deaths a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

17 The Natural Increase Rate (NIR) is the percentage by which a population grows in a year.

18 NIR = (Crude birth rate − Crude death rate) / 10

19 2.992% = (37.89 − 7.97) / 10

22 Life Expectancy measures the average number of years a newborn can expect to live at current morbidity levels.

23 Part 3: Why is population increasing at different rates?

24 What is a population pyramid?

25 “A population pyramid is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups as well as the sex ratio, the number of males per hundred females and the dependency ratio, the number of people who are too old or too young to work.

28 What is a model?

29 “A model attempts to explain or demonstrate why something exists the way it does. “

30 What is the demographic transition model?

31 “The demographic transition model explains the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.

32 Stage 1: Low Growth Stage 2: High Growth Stage 3: Moderate Growth Stage 4: Low Growth Demographic Transition Model In Motion

33

34 Stage 1: Low Growth 1.People depended on hunting and gathering for food. 2.Most of human history spent during this stage. 3.The NIR is essentially zero. 4.There is no country still in stage 1.

35 1.Brought about by the Industrial Revolution. 2.CDR Plummets while the CBR remains the same as in stage 1. 3.Allowed to spread to LDRs by the medical revolution (20 th century) Stage 2: High Growth

36 1.Brought about by cultural changes. 2.Characterized by a sudden drop in the CBR. 3.There is still growth but not as fast as in Stage 2 Stage 3: Moderate Growth

37 1.The CBR = CDR 2.Zero Population Growth 3.Low TFR Stage 4: Moderate Growth

38 Population Pyramid Analysis Look at the following population pyramids and complete a four level analysis on your note guide for each country.
