▪ Large population means economic
growth
▪ Economic growth means power

of scale and specialization in
manufacturing

Q

Three Factors Affecting Population Change

A
  • Migration
  • Birth Rate
  • Death Rate
21
Q

the number of births per
1,000 people during a given year.

A

Crude Birth Rate

22
Q

the number of actual births per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44.

A

Fertility Rate

23
Q

total fertility rate necessary to replace the current population (successor in the next generation).

A

Replacement level fertility

24
Q

the average length of life that would be observed in a population considering the prevailing mortality risks at each age continued indefinitely.

A

Life Expectancy at Birth

25
the average number of years of life remaining for an individual of a given age.
Life Expectancy
26
the probability of death in the first year of life.
Infant Mortality Rate
27
the number of deaths per 1,000 people during a given year
Crude Death Rate
28
The number of persons coming in and out of the country.
Migration Rate
29
the difference between the number of persons entering (immigrants) and those leaving (emigrants)
Net Migration
30
Formula of Population Pyramid
Sex Ratio (ratio of males to females (age influenced and migration influenced indicator) + Age Distribution Patterns
31
Relevance of Population Pyramid (and Demography in general)
- It is a powerful tool in policy and program analysis. - Population pyramid reflects growth rates.
32
Growth Rates can:
▪ Predict societal shifts: insights into changing values and social forces. ▪ Reveal economic opportunities ▪ Reveal how the economic system will be affected (land and housing opportunities, unemployment, health and medical service demands) PRR
33
An essential part of policy analysis because of the social, economic, cultural, and political impacts of the changes in fertility, mortality, and migration.
Demography
34
* Statistical manipulation of data relating to purely demographic variables * Refinement of analytical techniques to measure these events
Formal Demography
35
study of fertility, mortality & migration in its social, economic and behavioral context
Population Studies
36
How do you acquire the figures in migration?
▪ National census ▪ Civil registrars ▪ Disease and other health statistics ▪ Emigration and immigration figures ▪ Sample surveys ▪ Interviews NCDESI
37
Consequences of Rapid Growth
▪ Depletes Resources: - Food supply consumed at a rapid rate ▪ Affects Living Standards: - Strains employment capacity - Sacrifices public services ▪ Leads to Overcrowding: - Environmental risks increase - Basic needs become harder to sustain DAlO
38
How to prevent population increase? (Thomas Robert Malthus)
Moral Restraint * Late marriage * Abstinence from sexual intercourse after marriage Misery * Famine * Pestilence * War Vice * Abortion * Contraception * Extramarital sex MMV
39
Key Concepts in Population Studies and Intervention Population which considers the following:
Size * How many people are desirable for economic stability and growth? Space * Urbanization vs. Rural models: Where should people live? * The state’s role in determining population distribution. Composition * Should migration be encouraged? * Should the state have more skilled labor?

41
Example of Positive Policies
* Eugenic/racial theories (Singapore and Nazi Germany)- this is problematic/ controversial * Pro-family policies * Multi-ethnicity policies * Refugee policies * Pro-immigration/emigration policies * Decentralization
42
Example of Negative Policies
* Birth control information * Divorce * Abortion * Sexism and gender discrimination * Bar on immigration
43
demographic indicator that tells the average number of children a woman will bear during her reproductive life given prevailing rates of fertility.
Total Fertility Rate
44
the number of years a person would live if prevailing patterns of mortality for all people at the time of his or her birth were to stay the same throughout his or her life.
Life Expectancy at Birth
45
expresses the probability of death in the first year of life.
Infant Mortality Rate
