Q

An example of physiological density is if the physiological population density of the u.s. is 340 people per square mile in Japan’s is 7000 people per square mile, this indicates the arable land in Japan is scarce, given the country’s population and land resources.

Q

EXAMPLE OF CC: Despite Israel’s dry climate, it has developed advanced irrigation methods to create more arable land to increase its farming output. This innovation has increased its carrying capacity despite the land area.

Q

Example of population distribution impacting on society and politics… in areas of high population density, politicians and policymakers are likely focused on issues such as maintaining sustainable growth, fixing infrastructural stains: like traffic, and improving efficiency of services to meet the needs of Highly dense areas.

A

15-64

22
Q

What age range is considered the elderly?

A

65+

23
Q

The ______ a pyramid is, the higher the percentage of elderly there is in the population.

A

more top-heavy

25
Q

Natural Increase (NIR)

A

the growth rate of the population

26
Q

CBR - Crude Birth Rate

A

of births per 1,000 ppl

27
Q

CDR - Crude Death Rate

A

of deaths per 1,000 ppl

28
Q

Less developed countries have a _____ NIR while developed countries have a ______ NIR

A

high, low

29
Q

STAGE 1 of DTM and Epidemiological Transition Model

A

DTM :
low population grow, and CBR and CDR are both VERY HIGH
this creates a low NIR because the CBR and CDR cancel one another out

ETM :
Ex. a few remote groups

Because of lots of disease, famine, war and poor medical knowledge so many children die.
Since so many children die a lot or born : also for farming/work/supporting family/cultural tradition

30
Q

STAGE 2 of DTM and Epidemiological Transition Model

A
  • High Population Growth
  • CBR Remains High b/c they still need children for farming and supporting family and cultural tradition.
  • CDR declines b/c of new medicine and medical supplies arrive / and increase in medical knowledge
    -The NIR increases because the CBR is high and CDR is decreasing
31
Q

STAGE 3 of DTM and Epidemiological Transition Model

A

CBR is falling b/c families begin to lower their birth rates/have less children b/c there is not a need to have as many, or moving to cities to work or b/c of improved health conditions

Women have more opportunities, so NIR is becoming reduced but because of the population size still growing, the NIR is greater than 0.

improved medical care and diet so fewer children are needed / die

32
Q

STAGE 4 of DTM and Epidemiological Transition Model

A

-the CBR falls and meets the CDR equally low levels
- A lot less children are being born b/c of job opportunities and such women are held in much higher role.
-this means stable, no population growth: NIR is about 0

33
Q

STAGE 5 of DTM and Epidemiological Transition Model

A

NIR is negative:
population is declining:
this can be a sign to longer life expectancy causes a higher proportion of population to be elderly
when compared to the population of children

CBR is lower than the death rate is a result of above

34
Q

Malthusian Theory

A

that populations is growing exponentially (quickly) while food supply is only growing arithmetically. Basically population was growing at a faster rate than food supply

35
Q

What did Malthus argue for?

A

checks on population growth positive: such as birth control. education programs to reduce birth rate, and celibacy.
negative: starvation, a widespread disease

36
Q

Pro-natalist

A

government policies that promote reproduction, and increase in population.

37
Q

Anti-natalist

A

Government policies that discourage reproduction and try to reduce population growth

38
Q

What can happen if there is rapid population growth in poor countries?

A

they could exhaust food supplies and natural resources

39
Q

What is the core thing of woman’s society placement?

A

Children

40
Q

___, ____, and _____ roles for females have influenced patterns of fertility, mortality, and migration

A

social, economic, and political

41
Q

Age 15-64 are what?

A

Non-dependent, they usually support themselves through work

42
Q

Age 14 and under and 65 and older are known as what?

A

dependents, they depend on the workers for survival.

43
Q

Potential Benefits of an Aging Populations

A

Medical Care can advance given the pressure to meet the growing demands related to chronic diseases associated with old age, and lead to Medical Innovations that will last Generations .

44
Q

Challenges of an Aging Populations

A

Workforces may not be able to fill the jobs needed given their lower Workforce population.

45
Q

Push factors

A

the negative influences that makes a person want to move away

46
Q

Pull factors

A

the positive influences that pulls a person towards a certain place

47
Q

A

people who have fled their country of origin to escape persecutions, violation of human rights, or armed conflict.

48
Q

Refugees _____ their countries while IDP’s are _______ to leave their country.
