population and labour force Flashcards
(26 cards)
birth rate
number of live births per 1000 per year
Death rate
number of deaths per 1000 per year
immigration
number of people moving into a country
emigration
number of people leaving the country of origin
population growth
increase in the number of people who reside in a country
population growth rate
the rate at which the size of the population increase over a period of time (usually a year)
Natural Growth Rate
difference between birth rate and death rate of a population during a year.
Life expectancy
number of years a newborn infant could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at he time of birth stays the same throughout the infants life
demographic cycle (population cycle)
refers to the evolution over time of the population profile of a country, region or other defined geographical area
Labour force
consists of those people who take part in the country’s production and exchange activitities
Economically Active Population (EAP)
All those people between the ages of 15-64 years of age who present their labour for the production of goods and services in return for remuneration
Labour force participation rate
the rate to determine which parts of the population is economically active.
Labour force participation rate
the rate to determine which parts of the population is economically active.
census
when pop of a country is counted
pop is growing when (2)
birth rate > death rate
more immigrants
decreases when vice versa
formula to determine if a pop is growing
(Birth rate + immigration) - (Death Rate + Emmigration)
Phase 1 of demographic cycle (5)
birth rate & Death rate is low
no birth control
poor med care
avg age of pop is low
natty growth is low
phase 2 demographic cycle (5)
birth control not practised
living conditions improve
death of babies and mothers decrease
people live to older age
avg age of pop increases
Phase 3 of demographic cycle part 1 (3)
income and standard of living icrease for a large part of pop
social development-decrease in birth
death rate decreases faster and ensures high natural growth
Phase 3 of demographic cycle part 2
birth rate decreases mre than death rate and natty growth rate starts decreasing
Demographic cycle phase 4 (4)
birth rate decreases rapidly
people realise standard of living increases if they have less children
family planning accepted by more fans (natty growth decline)
med care more affordable (death rate decline)
demographic cycle phase 5 (3)
natural growth rate is low and starts to level out
birth and death rate are low
avg age of pop increases
what are projected growth rates used for
to gauge future demand for food, water, energy, and service etc to plan
migration calculation
immigration-emmigration
