1. Do Now: (write in your notebook)
Use the graph to determine the following economic indicators. Explain each answer choice.
Birth rate: high or low?
Death rate: high or low?
Life Expectancy: high or low?
HDI: high or low?

2. And there is a low Life Expectancy
In this country there is a high Birth Rate
There is also a high Death Rate.

3. What is a population pyramid?
A population pyramid is a way to analyze populations by showing the sex and age distribution of a population
They allow geographers to examine how events in society affect the population of a country or region
They are graphic representations of births, deaths and life expectancy in a given country.
CFU: What type of events in society could affect the population of a country or region?

5. B A C Country A = India (less developed) Country B = Japan (developed)
Country C = Indonesia (newly industrialized)
Have students individually analyze the three population pyramids and determine the birth rate, death rate, life expectancy and HDIs given their understanding of economic indicators, followed by an all-class discussion.

6. Type of Population Pyramid Birth Rate Death Rate Life Expectancy HDI
Population Pyramid Shape
Less Developed
Newly Industrialized
Developed

7. Less Developed Countries
Less Developed Countries have a Human Development Index (HDI) ranging from 000 to .600
CFU: What three factors affect the HDI of a country? Why are these factors important when determining a countries level of development?
Typical shape of a Population Pyramid for a less developed country = Pyramid

8. Less Developed Countries
Less Developed countries have a HIGH Birth Rate.
Less Developed countries have a HIGH Death Rate.
Less Developed countries have a LOW Life Expectancy.

9. Newly Industrialized Countries
Newly Industrialized Countries have a Human Development Index ranging from .601 to .799
Typical shape of a Population Pyramid for a developing country = Stationary Pyramid

10. Newly Industrialized Countries
Developing countries have a HIGH Birth Rate.
Developing countries have a LOW Death Rate.
Developing countries have a HIGH Life Expectancy.

11. Developed Countries
Developed Countries have a Human Development Index ranging from to 1
Typical shape of a Population Pyramid for a developed country = Contracting Pyramid

12. Developed Countries Developed countries have a LOW Birth Rate.
Developed countries have a LOW Death Rate.
Developed countries have a HIGH Life Expectancy.

13. B A C
Use these same three population pyramids for the exit ticket.
