Aka Age-sex ratio Bars are called cohort – must explain cohort

3 1931-1935 Remember WWII just ended 0-4 result of baby boom
– great depression affected choice to have babies

4 Demographic momentum – the more people you have in child-rearing ages the more children you will have (compounded by high TFR, but even with low TFR you will have an echo boom) Echo Boom

5 Echo Boom Should start noticing the change in shape

7 ? Carefully worded question – What is going on with that blue bar on top? Ans. Not just a 5 year cohort

24 Remember Germany is not a core country even though its demographics look equivalent to core countries. Its other indicators demonstrate semi-periphery (by definition semi-periphery means hit or miss)

25 Result of migrant workers – not allowed to bring families, marry locals, or have children with locals. So work, leave and leave no trace

26 Analysis of Italy’s Population Pyramid
1. Decline in Birth Rate 2. Baby Boom 3. Fewer men due to World War I and II 4. More women due to: a. longer life expectancy and b. World Wars (I and II) 5. More yrs than 0-4 yrs. Signs of a future worker shortage and an overall declining population. 1

35 Typical pyramids 2. LDC? 3. High CBR? 4. High Life Expectancy?
5. High Population Growth? 6. Stage 4/5?

36 A B C D For review after dtm 7. Stage 1? 2? ? 4?

37 8. A population pyramid with a wide base and narrow top is indicative of
developed countries. b. countries in Stage IV of the demographic transition. c. developing countries. d. low infant mortality. 9. A developed country that has reached a stage where the population is most stable will develop a population pyramid that is __________. bell shaped b. pear shaped c. rectangular shaped d. cone shaped

38 10. The country with the narrowest population pyramid is [hint: You probably will not know what that exact country’s population pyramid looks like, but stop and think about. Why were these countries chosen? What do they represent?] a. Niger b. Chile c. Denmark d. United States

39 11. What significant population problem does the United States, as well as other MDCs, facing?
