How does a country's population affect a country's future?

Slow growth

Birth rates drop and death rates are low.

No or negative growth

Both birth and death rates are dropped to a low level. Over time birth rates may fall behind. -Development worlds

Low growth

High birth rates and high death rates. Where all population begins.

Rapid growth

High birth rates as economic development begins. Low death rates as food supply increase and health care improves. -Developing worlds

Life expectancy:

The average age that a person in a given population can expect to live.

Dependency ratio:

The number of old and young dependents who don't work compared with the working-age population.

Replacement rates:

The total fertility rate needed for a population to replace itself.

Demographic transition model:

- Consisted of age and sex - Shows change over time - It is a simplified model of a complex system. Used to make prediction.

Demography

- The study of a human population and how they change over time.

Demography

- The study of a human population and how they change over time. -Between 1950 and today, population growth and the quality life have increased. -BUT... the rates at which they occur are different around the world, and different times.

What happened between 1950 and today?

-Between 1950 and today, population growth and the quality life have increased. -BUT... the rates at which they occur are different around the world, and different times.

Quality of life indicators:

-Complex and differ depending on regions 1. Years of schooling for women 2. Access to healthcare 3. Infant mortality 4. Improved sanitation 5. Access to clean water 6. Control of infectious diseases

Composed of:

1. Birth rates 2.Death rates 3. Immigration and migration

Stages of the demographic transition model

1. Low growth 2.Rapid growth 3. Slow growth 4. No or negative growth

Impacts of fertility rate:

1. Percentage of girls in or not in school. 2. Infant mortality rate: infant deaths per year. 3. Adolescent fertility rate: births per 1000 women ages 15-19. 4. Percentage of female contraceptive use 5.Roles of women in society

Europe's responses to population change

1. Shrinking population a. Cash and benefits for having babies b. Policies for parents 2. Aging Population a. Lower wages for lower pensions b. Up the retirement age c. Heighten health care prevention 3. Declining workforce a. Up the retirement age b. Encourage women into the workforce

Population grows or shrinks depending on...

1. Total fertility rates 2.Replacement rates 3. Life expectancy 4. Dependency ratio

Birth rates

Annual number of births per 1000 people.

Death rates

Annual number of deaths per 1000 people.

Total fertility rates:

Average number of children a woman in a given population will have in her lifetime. a. Greece: 1.42 children

Dilemmas caused by Europe's population change(Causes)

Causes: 1. Shrinking population a. Fallen fertility rates b. Roles of women c. Finances 2. Aging population a. Rise in life expectancy b. Baby boom 3. Declining workforce a. Change in the dependency ratio

Dilemmas caused by Europe's population change(Effects)

Effects: 1. Shrinking population a. Labor shortages b. Fewer people for the militaries 2.Aging population a. Pension b. Health care 3. Declining workforce a. Less jobs b. Poorer economy
