2
Demography The study of population -#’s -Ethnicities -Common characteristics -Distribution/ Density
4
Growth Rates Death rate: # of ppl that die every year per 1,000 Birth rate: # of ppl born every year per 1,000 Natural Increase (growth rate)= BR – DR
5
Growth Rates Life expectancy- average number of years ppl live w/ in a given population Fertility rate- # of babies a woman is expected to have in her life Infant mortality rate- # of deaths of infants under 1 yr. per 1,000 live births Child mortality rate- # of deaths of children ages 1-5 per 1,000
6
Growth Rates Doubling time: –# of yrs. it takes a pop. to double in size –Parts of Asia, Africa, Latin Am. = 25 yrs. –Wealthy countries = 300 yrs.
7
Nairobi, Kenya Mumbai, India Rapid growth leads to a demand on resources that often cannot be met…
8
Sudan Ethiopia Even more severe in places with extreme climates…
11
Growth Rates Zero Population Growth occurs when BR = DR –Usually happens only in wealthy countries –Most rural/poorer areas have tradition of many kids (farm work)
12
Negative Pop. Growth Occurs when DR > BR –Not enough workers –Labor must be brought in problems b/w different cultures
13
Baby-O-Matic
14
Family Life: status of woman in household, ability to make decisions Education: More educ = fewer children, esp. for women Social Security: need more kids if no way to support themselves in old age Status Symbol: Large families can be seen as impt to culture; others, it’s personal success
15
Baby-O-Matic Time & $ Management: children are a drain on parents in some areas; an economic asset in others Health: with high chance of IM, ppl will have more kids as “insurance” Personal Beliefs: Society says if lg. or sm. is good; what shape is society in? Timing: Longer you wait = fewer kids; career minded ppl have fewer kids
16
Population Distribution Pop. Dist. = pattern of human settlement Due to inhospitable land, ppl only live on 1/3 of Earth’s land Ecumene= portion of earth occupied by permanent human settlement Need 3 things: –Available water, fertile soil, & a good climate
17
Population Density Pop. Dens.= ppl per sq. mile –Total population / total land area (arithmetic pop. dens.) Some countries have wide open areas= low pop. dens. Some are tinier countries= high pop. dens. –Ex: Belgium & Niger
18
In Bangladesh- one of most densely populated countries in world
19
Population Density Uneven distribution- not all land is usable –Egypt: 99% of pop. lives w/in 20 miles of Nile the rest is desert –Use physiological pop. dens. = Total population / total arable land –181 ppl/sq. mile vs. 5,807 ppl/sq. mile
20
Migration Between countries: –Emigrants in home country –Immigrants in new country Reasons to leave: –Push vs. Pull Factors
