18. Crude Birth Rate : The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

19. Crude Death Rate : The total number
Crude Death Rate : The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

20. Natural Increase: The percentage growth of a
population in a year, computed as the crude birth
rate minus the crude death rate.

21. Population Characteristics
Crude Birth Rate : The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.
Crude Death Rate : The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.
Natural Increase: The percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate.

23. Population Characteristics
Fertility Rate: The average number of children a woman will have throughout her childbearing years.
Doubling Time: The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

24. Infant Mortality Rate: - the number of. deaths of
Infant Mortality Rate: - the number of deaths of children under the age of 1, per thousand of the general population.

25. Population Characteristics
Life Expectancy : The average number of years an individual can be expected to live, given current social, economic, and medical conditions.
Population under the age of 15 - usually shown as a percentage of the total population of a country - dependency ages
Population over the age of 65 - usually shown as a percentage of the population. dependency age

26. Life Expectancy : The average number of years an individual can be expected to live, given current social, economic, and medical conditions.

Inverted bar graphs that show a wide population base (younger population) with a narrow top (older population).

PYRAMIDS TRANSITION

37. Demographic Transition - Stage 1
Demographic Transition - the change in population characteristics of a country to reflect medical technology or economic and social development.
Crude Birth Rate: High / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: High / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: None / 1,000
Today, no country in the world is in Stage 1.

38. Demographic Transition

39. Demographic Transition - Stage 2
As medical technology is introduced, a population lives longer as the death rate is lower from the rates of stage one.
Crude Birth Rate: High / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Lower / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: Very High 25+/1,000

41. Demographic Transition - Stage 3
As the wealth and education of a country increases, social norms, and use of contraception dictate the birth of fewer children per woman.
Crude Birth Rate: Lower / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Low / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: Low / 1000

43. Demographic Transition - Stage 4
As the final stage in the transition of population characteristics, the fourth stage sees the population increase rate again at 0. This stage reflects a highly industrialized, educated society.
Crude Birth Rate: Low / 1,000
Crude Death Rate: Low / 1,000
Natural Increase Rate: None / 1,000

48. Solutions to Population Growth
Addressing traditional religious values that may encourage gender preference and large families
Starvation
Medical technology - costs of maintaining vulnerable populations (old & young)

Biological Warfare

49. Solutions to Population Growth
Redistribution of wealth - improve standard of living for poor so that children aren’t as necessary
Addressing government policies to deal with their growing populations
Environmental pollution causing higher death rates
