Q

which has higher crude death rate developed or developing countries

23
Q

a process of change in society’s population from high CBR and CDR and low NIR to a condition of low CBR and CDR, low NIR, and higher total population

A

domestic transition

24
Q

stage 1 of the domestic transition

A

low growth
-high CBR
-high CDR
-low NIR
-occurred in most of history

25
stage 2 of the domestic transition
high growth -high CBR -declining CDR -very high NIR -industrial revolution and medical revolution (later one)
26
stage 3 of the domestic transition
moderate growth -declining CBR -declining CDR -moderate yet declining NIR
27
stage 4 of the domestic transition
low growth -very low CBR -low, slightly increasing CDR -0 or negative NIR
28
the annual number of female deaths per 1000 live births relating to pregnancy
maternity morality rate
29
what developed country has the highest maternity mortality rate
US
30
the number of working-age people (15-64) divded by the number of persons over 65
potential support ratio
31
what does the potential support ratio show
the amount of contributions to health cae and support for elderly
32
bar graph that displays the percentage of a place's population for each age and gender
population pyramid
33
which stage would most likey have a broad base
2
34
the number of people who are too old or young to work compared to the number of people in their productive years
dependency ratio
35
what does the higher dependency ratio mean
more financial burden on those working
36
focuses on distinctive health threats in each stage of the demographic transition
epidemiologic transition
37
what is stage 1epidemiologic transition
pestilence and famine- epidemics and pandemics are main causes of death also animal and human attacks
38
what is the stage 2 epidemiologic transition
receding pandemics- less violent because of innovation of medicine, sanitation and nutrition
39
what type of countries are in stage 2 of the epidemiologic transition
poor countries
40
what is stage 3 of the epidemiologic transition
degenerative diseases- deaths due to aging (cardiovascular and cancer)
41
what is stage 4 of the epidemiologic transition
delayed degenerative and lifestyle diseases- delayed or sto[ed due to treatment
42
what does the possible demographic transition stage 5 look like
very low CBR increasing CDR few child bearing women
43
government that supports high birth rates
pronatalist policy
44
government that supports low birth rates
antinatalist policy
45
what does educated women lead to
employment, rights, contriseption, less IMR
46
what are two ways to lower CBR
education diffusing contriceptions
47
noticed that food resources/supplies were running out too fast for population growth. Stated that food would run out unless CDR increased or CBR decreased
Thomas Malthus
48
critics say that in some areas production has gone up
critics to Neo-Mathesian
49
unchanging total population=
death rate is equal to birth rate
50
3 food revolutions
neolithic- starting to farm industrial- machine green-sprays and ferilizers
51
the higer the NIR the _____ the doubling time
lower (inverse relationship)
52
number of women to men
sex ratio
53
where a large cohort in a population creates another large group and so on. They opposite is true too
demographic momentum
