2 Arithmetic Density – the total number of people per a unit of land area. U.S. = 76/mi2; NYC=1,000,000/mi2; Australia = 7/mi2

3 Physiological Density – the total number of people per a unit of arable (farmable) land.

4 Thomas Malthus on Population
An Essay on the Principle of Population, 1798 Malthus, responding to Condorcet, predicted population would outrun food supply, leading to a decrease in food per person. Assumptions Populations grow exponentially. Food supply grows arithmetically. Food shortages and chaos inevitable.

5 Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
The average number of children per woman in her childbearing years. TFR needed to maintain the population size: 2.1

6 Mother’s Index Based on 10 barometers of well-being among mothers and children Strongly influenced by poverty and warfare

7 Diseases Sources of diseases Spread of diseases
Infectious diseases: Spread from person to person Vectored: Spread through intermediary, such as an insect Nonvectored: Spread directly from person to person Chronic or degenerative diseases: Diseases of old age Genetic or inherited diseases: Passed through genes Spread of diseases Endemic: Present in small area Epidemic: Spreads over large region Pandemic: Spreads worldwide

8 Doubling Time Number of years for a population to double in size (like a bank deposit at compound interest) Decreased doubling time (rapid growth), then increased doubling time (growth slowed down) Doubling time = 54 years Doubling time = 45 years

9 Rate of Natural Increase
Difference between births and deaths Does not include immigration and emigration

10 The Demographic Transition

11 Demographic Transition Model
Stage one (preindustrial/pre-agricultural) Crude birth/death rate high Fragile, but stable, population Stage two (improved agriculture and medicine) Lower death rates Infant mortality rate falls Natural increase very high Stage three (attitudes change) Indicative of richer developed countries Higher standards of living/education Crude birth rate finally falls Stage four Crude birth/death rates low Population stable Populations aging

12 Problems with the Demographic Transition Model
based on European experience, assumes all countries will progress to complete industrialization many countries reducing growth rate dramatically without increase in wealth – TV and family planning seem to be at work on the other hand, some countries “stuck” in stage 2 or stage 3, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East

13 Population Pyramids for Poor Countries
High infant mortality Short life expectancy Rapid population growth

14 Population Pyramids for Wealthy Countries
Low infant mortality Long life expectancy, especially for females Little or no growth, even natural decrease

15 What Is Migration? Movement
Cyclic movement: Movement away from home for a short period Commuting Seasonal movement Nomadism Periodic movement: Movement away from home for a longer period. Migrant labor Transhumance Military service Migration: A change in residence intended to be permanent

16 Types of Migration Circular migration Spring Summer
Fall / Winter Spring Summer Circular migration A type of temporary migration. Associated with agricultural work. The migrant follows the harvest of various crops, moving from one place to another each time. Very common in the US Southwest (Mexican farm workers) and in Western Europe (Eastern European farm workers).

17 International migration:
Movement across country borders (implying a degree of permanence)

18 Internal migration: Movement within a single country’s borders (implying a degree of permanence)

19 Major International Migration Patterns, Early 1990s
Why do people migrate? Push Factors Pull Factors Emigration and immigration Change in residence. Relative to origin and destination. Major International Migration Patterns, Early 1990s Slide graphic courtesy of Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue, Hofstra University

20 Why Do People Migrate? Forced migration: Movers have no choice but to relocate

21 Forced Migration The Trail of Tears, 1838

22 Kinds of Voluntary Migration
Step migration: When a migrant follows a series of stages, or steps, toward a final destination. Intervening opportunity : At one of the steps along the path, pull factors encourage the migrant to settle there Chain migration: Further migration to a place where friends or relatives have already settled

23 Voluntary Migration Migrants weigh push and pull factors to decide
Whether to move Where to go Distance decay: Many migrants settle closer to their old home than they originally contemplate

24 Ravenstein’s Laws (Gravity Model)
Every migration flow generates a return or countermigration. The majority of migrations move a short distance. Migrants who move longer distances tend to choose big-city destinations. Urban residents are less migratory than inhabitants of rural areas. Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults.

25 Major Global Migration Flows
(before 1950)

26 Migration for Economic Opportunity
Chinese migration in late 1800s and 1900s throughout Southeast Asia to work in trade, commerce, and finance

27 Migration to Reconnect with Cultural Groups
Migration of about 700,000 Jews to then-Palestine between 1900 and 1948 Forced migration of 600,000 Palestinian Arabs after 1948, when the land was divided into two states (Israel and Palestine)

28 Internal Migration Flows

29 Guest Workers Migrants allowed into a country to fill a labor need, assuming the workers will go “home” once the labor need subsides  Have short term work visas  Send remittances to home country

30 How Do Governments Affect Migration?
Immigration laws U.S. history Little restriction Quotas by nationality Selective immigration

35 Why are most South American Population centers located at or near the coast?
The colonial economies were export-oriented. The wars of independence damaged many inland cities. Few Amerindian population centers were located on the coast. Latin American armed forces have extensive plans for the defense of coastal sites. The climate is generally warmer on the coast and cooler in the highlands

64 Physiological population density differs from crude population density in that physiological density
Examines only the population of cities, while crude density includes the population of cities and rural areas. Is a measure of how density is perceived, while crude density is a measure of specific density. Explains density in terms of people per arable square land unit, while crude density explains density in terms of people per total square land unit. Explains the density of a single housing unit while crude density explains the density of a group of houses. Is the number of people per housing unity, while crude density is the number of people per square mile

Very young, with most citizens at young ages, and very few at middle and older ages. Larger in the middle than at young ages, with a relatively large number of older people. Middle aged, with few citizens at young or old ages. Very old, with most citizens falling in age groups above 50. Evenly balanced, with almost as many people 80 and older as 15 or younger.
