Lesson 5 Flashcards
(61 cards)
is a critical field of study that examines the dynamics of human populations on a global scale.
It delves into the complex interplay of factors influencing population growth, distribution, and composition across different regions and countries.
Global demography under the contemporary world
In the _____ century, unprecedented advances in technology, communication, and healthcare have led to significant changes in global demographics, shaping the current and future landscape of humanity.
21st
represents the study of statistics such as births, deaths, income, or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations and thus poses an effect on globalization on a holistic level
Demography
The current world population of _________?
is projected to increase by _________?
over the next 12 years and reach _______?
by 2050, according to a United Nations report, which points out that growth will be mainly in developing countries , with more than half in Africa.
7.2 billion
1 billion
9.6 billion
The population of the world’s 50 least-developed countries is expected to ____________ by the middle of this century, with several poor countries tripling their population over the period. By contrast, the population of the developed world is expected to remain steady at around 1.2 billion, with population decline in some wealthy countries. (Bloom et.al, 2015).
more than double
were characterized by several significant trends and changes. – Crude Birth and Death Rate, Global Fertility Rate, Infant and Child mortality decline, Global Life Expectancy, and working age population.
Global demographic patterns
was showing a declining trend.
the global birth rate
refers to the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given population during a specific time period (usually a year).
Birth rate
follow quite a different flow of activity ; the percentage of people who die relative to the country’s population
crude death rates
formula of Birth Rate
(Total live births / Total population)
x1000
formula of Death Rate
(Total deaths / Total population)
x1000
formula of Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
(Number of Live Births/Total Population) × 1,000
formula of Crude Death Rate (CDR)
(Number of Deaths/Total Population) × 1,000
refers to the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births in a given population during a specific time period (usually a year).
Infant and Child mortality decline
typically includes deaths of children under five years old per 1,000 live births during the same time period.
Child mortality
refers to the average number of years a person can expect to live, assuming current mortality rates remain constant throughout their lifetime.
Global Life Expectancy
Global life expectancy at birth had increased from
? years in 2000 to
? years in 2019,
and healthy life expectancy increased from ???. This was largely due to gains in maternal and child health, and to major investments and improvements in communicable disease programmes, such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.

58.3 years to 63.7 years
shows how service disruptions contributed to an increase in deaths from tuberculosis and malaria between 2019 and 2020.
2020 data
is defined as the group of individuals between certain age ranges who are considered to be of working age and are typically engaged in or available for employment.
The specific age range defining the working-age population can vary across countries and regions.
Working Age Population
a common range is usually considered to be between ___? years old.
15 to 64
is a crucial demographic for understanding labor markets, economic productivity, and the potential workforce available to support a country’s economy.
It plays a significant role in shaping the labor force participation rate, unemployment rate, and overall economic growth.
The working-age population
refers to a significant increase in birth rates that occurred after World War II, mainly between the years 1946 and 1964.
The baby boom generation
Its called the “baby boom” because during this period, there was a _____________________ in many countries, leading to a larger-than-usual cohort of individuals being born.
notable surge in the number of births
had a profound impact on global demography. As they reached adulthood, they contributed to significant changes in society, the economy, and various other aspects of life
