1 What does population mean?

2 Learning Objective - To identify what population means and its impact on the world.

3 What 3 questions would you like to answer from the graph. 1. Label the graph with description of what has/is happening. 2. Now suggest why you think it has happened.

4  Does population only measure the number of people in the world?  It also measures demographic populations:  Race  Sex  Age  Religion  Education  Income, and many more!

5  Write your name on the post it note.  Whoever can guess the world population the most accurately (plus or minus 20%), I will give you a surprise…

6  What is the World’s Population? 7.1 Billion people  Is the World’s population increasing or decreasing? Increasing!  Draw a cartoon to describe the change in the World’s population.

7  Why has human population increased?  Agriculture  Sanitation  Health care  Explain how these 3 things affected population growth

8  U.S. Population:  315 Million and counting  S.C. Population:  4.7 Million (2.1% increase since 2010)  Colleton County Population:  37,788

9  Now that we understand what ‘population’ is, let’s look at why it changes.  Growth in population  Decline in population

10

11  Natural change or natural increase is the difference in births minus deaths.  Doubling time is the amount of time it takes for a population to double based on its growth rate.  Divide 70 by the growth rate

12  Fertility rate is the measure of the number of children that could be born.  Mortality rate is the measure of the number of deaths.

13 Change Does it increase or decrease the birth or death rate? Use symbols How does it change it? Better Healthcare A terrible war Clean water is available More women working More healthy food is available Deadly disease spreads Birth control is provided

14 Change Does it increase or decrease immigration? Use symbols How does it change it? Better Healthcare A terrible war Clean water is available More jobs available More healthy food is available More freedom

15  Do you think the population is decreasing?  Link your answer to the birth and death rate and immigration.  Remember! A decline in immigration, lower fertility, and an aging population = less growth.

16  Do you think the U.S. population is increasing or decreasing?  Media reports might make you think it is increasing, but it actually is decreasing.  There is a difference between the actual number of people versus the growth rate

17  Demographic transition model shows the change from high birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates as an area develops industrially.

18  Stage 1: High Stationary Pre-industrial – High death/birth rates in all countries until the 18 th century  Secluded tribes of the Amazon and Oceania  Stage 2: Early Expanding Developing country – Death rates drop due to improvements to agriculture & sanitation  Yemen, Afghanistan, parts of Palestine

19  Stage 3: Late Expanding Urbanization – More stable, decline in birth rate due to contraception, increase in wages, and education of women.  Jamaica, Vietnam, Syria  Stage 4: Low Stationary Plateau – Birth/death rates are low and stable because people choose whether or not they want children and there is less disease & famine.  U.S, Canada, Europe, China

20 Lack of birth control/family planning Famine causing lots of people to die due to lack of food Parents wanting lots of children to help provide an income (such as working on farms) Disease (for example HIV/AIDS) causing lots of people to die. In many rural areas it can be the tradition to have lots of children Many young children die due to poor health care No education about the benefits of a smaller family War/Conflict Government policies which want to strengthen their population Drug use, alcoholism and sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) is blamed for this change in. Better health careLack of resources Peaceful conditions within the country Government policies (such as the One Child Policy in ) A culture which means men have a high status for having lots of children Education about the benefits of a smaller family

21

22  Push factors: reasons why people avoid places  Few opportunities, harsh climate, civil unrest, lack of resources  Pull factors: reasons why people go to places  Natural resources, tourist destinations, cities

23

24 Some areas of the world are more populated than others. We use population density as a measure of how many people live in a set area. Population density is measured in people per square mile. Population density = Number of people/Area

25 More opportunities such as education, economic, and cultural.

26 Density figures only tell us how many people live in an area. The population can be evenly spread. Often, distribution of the population is affected by factors of physical and human geography. The way people are distributed around an area is population distribution. Alternatively, the population can be randomly distributed. The population can also be clustered around one specific location.

27 To describe population distribution follow these rules. Describe the obvious pattern. What areas are most populated? Give figures, if available, and locations. Give exceptions to the ‘obvious pattern’. Are there areas that do no fit in with the general population distribution? A choropleth map is a very accurate tool to use when describing population distribution.

28 A choropleth map describes population distribution. H – Highest, area of the highest population L – Lowest, area of the lowest population GT – General Trend, where you find a trend in distribution A – Anomaly, where you find an abnormality

29 Describe the population distribution of the U.S. Use HLGTA H – Highest L – Lowest GT – General Trend A - Anomaly

30 WORLD POPULATION DENSITY – BY COUNTRY Western Europe and Asia are densely populated North America, South America and Africa have a low population density

31

32 Overpopulation means there are too many people living in a certain area, which can create environmental and social problems.

33

34 Densely Populated areas in the World Sparsely Populated areas in the World

37 Include facts, map, photos, quotes and your opinion !

39 Share your solutions with your group. Do you agree with them? As a group decide the BEST Solution

42  Pro-natal – a policy that encourages childbearing  Government supports larger families  Boost dwindling population  Ex: Russia  What is the benefit of pro-natal policy?

43  Anti-natal – policy that discourages childbearing  Government supports smaller families  Curb rapid population growth  Ex: China (one child policy)  What is the benefit of anti-natal policy?

44  Kindergeld: money from the government to help with the cost of raising kids  money to parents in Germany to have more kids  Birth control initiatives in Indonesia are used to slow the population rate. There are over 1.2 billion people in India

45 The Birth Rate, Death Rate and Life Expectancy all affect the population structure of a country.

46

47  Population pyramid shows the structure of a population.  Features of a population pyramid.  -Population is divided into 5 year age groups.  -Population is divided into males and females.  -The percentage or number of each age or sex group is given.

51

52  Using the website: www.indexmundi.com, find the population pyramid for the country you are assigned.  Which age group is the largest for men, women?  Is it the same age group for both sexes? If they are different, why do you think that is?  Which age group is the smallest for men, women?  Is it the same age group for both sexes? If they are different, why do you think that is?  Are there more people over 45 or under 45?

53 Population density Is when there are relatively few people living in one area Under/optimum population When the number of people living in an area exceeds the amount of resources needed for them the balance in population needed with the number of available resources Sparsely populated The number of people living within a given area Population distribution overpopulation means the way or pattern in which people are spread across the world

54  Divide the amount of people by the area  China – pg. 20 of Junior Scholastic  India  Nigeria – pg. 26  United States – pg. 13

55  Immigration is the movement of people into another.  Emigration is moving from one country with the intent to settle in another.  The reasons to emigrate are divided into push and pull factors.

56  Hispanic growth in U.S. combined with decreased white fertility rates

57 Discuss in pairs and then write down 3 questions you would like to know about it
