Q

demographic transition: 4 stages

A

stage 1: pre-modern: birth/ death rate HIGH
stage 2: urbanizing and industrializing: high birth rate, declining death rate
stage 3: mature industrial: declining birth rate, low death rate
stage 4: post- industrial: low birth rate, low death rate

Q

5 stages of epidemiological transition

A
  1. age of pestilence and famine
  2. age of receding (withdrawal) pandemics
  3. age of deggenerative disease
  4. age of delayed deggenerative disease
  5. death rate higher than birth rate so population declines

-moorings

21

Study These Flashcards
A

age
marital status
gender
occupation
education

22
Q

types of migration

Study These Flashcards
A

primitive
forced and impelled
free migration
mass migration
illegal migration

23
Q

Factors affecting population distribution

Study These Flashcards
A

-physical: temperature, water, relief, soil quality
-cultural: continuity of ancient

24
Q

3 areas of historic concentration

Study These Flashcards
A
  • South-central Asia: key rivers and coasts
  • East asia: toward east coast and along rivers, disperses to west
  • Europe: west and along
    rivers, relatively more urban
25
growth of population where?
Africa, South Asia
26
declining growth where?
more developed regions
27
when was peak child? in the demographic transition
end of stage 2/ between stage 2 and 3
28
census data
information collected during a census, which is a systematic and comprehensive survey conducted to gather data about a particular population.
29
CBR
Total live births in a given period for every 1,000 people already living
30
TFR
Average number of children a woman will have, assuming she has children at the prevailing age-specific rates as she passes through the fecund years
31
replacement level
2.1 and 2.5 = fertility rate needed for a population to maintain its size over time= remain stable over time—neither increasing nor decreasing.
32
factors affecting fertility
-biological = Age, nutritional well-being, diet -economic = Cost–benefit decision / Affected by economic structure and social needs -cultural= Marriage age and rates, changing correlation to birth/ Contraceptive use/ Views on abortion
33
More developed countries
industrialization correlated to fertility rate
34
less industrial countries
fertility decline more correlated to education at woman and the equality between men and woman
35
education=
contraseptive
36
literacy goes up
fertility goes down
37
CDR
Total deaths in a given period for every 1,000 people
38
infant mortality rate (IMR)
-Better indicator of social well-being -the ratio of deaths of infants aged 1year or less per 1 000 live births -shows the level of healthcare -positive correlation with fertility
39
life expectancy
-Not a mortality measure; good indicator of well-being -Anticipated average number of years lived
40
CBR and CDR can be 0?
CDR cant be 0 CBR can be 0
41
life expentancy are sensitive to factors of:
food availability nutrition quality sanitation quality health care availability disease conflict
42
rate of natural increase=
CBR - CDR
43
in 2017, the wold RNI was?
-12 per 1000 yaane 1.2% -is declining but still positive
44
World population is increasing, but at a _________ rate
decreasing
45
demographic/ population momentum
-the continued overall growth in a population due to the preponderance (grand nb) at young ppl -Explains how a population may still grow even after the fertility rate has reached, or even fallen below, the replacement rate - ex: Brazil
46
pyramid types:
-declining shape (bulge in the middle) = core countries= denmark -stabilizing pattern (vertical sides)= semi-periphery= mexico -rapid growth (triangular shape)= peripheral countries= gambia
47
when does seniors out number young ppl (15 ) in canada?
in 2016
48
canadas aging population's concerns
-rising health care costs -decreasing elderly support ratios (ESR): the nb of workers (15- 64) to each elderly person (> 65) in 2019, ESR = 9 in 2050, ESR = 4 -increase in poverty for seniors -decreased gov revenues -increased taxation -increased pension contributions for younger generations -sandwich generation increased need for compassionate leave
49
canada's response for population aging
- reduce taxes on younger ppl to keep them in canada -allow/ force ppl to work longer, provide legal protection calling forcible retirement -allowing the deferral of old age security and increase RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) - spend more money on illness prevention - ensure financial viability of healthcare system
