Crude Death Rate (CDR) – total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society. Natural Increase Rate (NIR) – percentage by which a population grows in a year. Computation: CBR – CDR = NIR  Remember NIR is a percentage ( n per 100, while CBR and CDR are expressed as n per 1,000)

2. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 2-11 CRUDE BIRTH RATE (CBR ) The global distribution of CBRs parallels that of NIRs. The countries with the highest CBRs are concentrated in Africa and Southwest Asia.

3. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 2-13 CRUDE DEATH RATE (CDR) The global pattern of CDRs varies from those for the other demographic variables already mapped in this chapter. The demographic transition helps to explain the distinctive distribution of CDRs.

4. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 2-10 NATURAL INCREASE RATE The world average is currently about 1.2 percent. The countries with the highest NIRs are concentrated in Africa and Southwest Asia.

5. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 2-12 TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR) As with NIRs and CBRs, the countries with the highest TFRs are concentrated in Africa and Southwest Asia.

X-axis Percent male displayed to the left of zero Percent female displayed to the right of zero Y-axis Age cohorts typically grouped in 5-year intervals Youngest displayed at bottom and oldest at top

7. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Population Structure  Dependency Ratio Defined as the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive years. People aged 0 to 14 and over 65 years old are considered dependents. Larger dependency ratios imply greater financial burden on the working class.  85 percent in sub-Saharan Africa, while 47 percent in Europe.

11. The world’s population is growing because: Better medical care / medicine Improved sanitation Lower infant mortality Longer life expectancy Birth rates not declining as fast as death rates. More abundant food. Better living conditions Birth rates have not increased. Around the world women are actually having less children than in the past.

14. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. POPULATION PYRAMIDS FOR THE UNITED STATES AND SELECTED U.S. COMMUNITIES Laredo has a broad pyramid, indicating higher percentages of young people and fertility rates. Lawrence has a high percentage of people in their twenties because it is the home of the University of Kansas. Naples has a high percentage of elderly people, especially women, so its pyramid is upside down.

15. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. JAPAN’S CHANGING POPULATION PYRAMIDS Japan’s population pyramid has shifted from a broad base in 1950 to a rectangular shape. In the future, the bottom of the pyramid is expected to contract and the top to expand.

20.  Health Care  Health conditions vary around the world, primarily, because countries possess different resources to care for people who are sick. Expenditures on Health Care More than 15 percent of total government expenditures in Europe and North America. Less than 5 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

21. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Health Care  Health Care Systems Developed Countries Public service available at little or no cost. Government pays more than 70 percent of health- care costs in most European countries, and private individuals pay about 30 percent of the expense. Developing Countries Private individuals must pay more than half of the cost of health care.  U.S. is an exception to these generalizations, because private individuals are required to pay about 55 percent of health care costs making it more closely resemble a developing country, in regards to health care.

22. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES The lowest levels of per capita health care expenditure are in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
