26
random dispersion
describes populations that have no pattern
27
sex ration
proportion of males to females in a population
28
subsistence agriculture
providing crops or liivestock only for family and close community
29
temperate climate
climate with moderate temps and adequate precipitation amounts
30
Total fertility Rate (TFR)
average number of children one woman in a given population will have between the ages of 15-49
31
uniform dispersion
uniformly spread out through an area
32
Zero population growth (ZPG)
caused by low birthrates and an old age structure coupled with minimal net migration
33
5 factors that influence population growth and decline
fertiltity rates, mortality rates, life exppectancy, intitial age of population, and migration
34
antinatalist population policy
intended to decrease CBR and TFR no more babies
35
demographic momentum
tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution
36
doubling time
how long it will take for a population to double in size
37
Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
represents the shifts in the growth of the worlds populations based in population trends related to birth rates and death rates
38
DTM stage 1
the long period of human history before improvements in health care LOW POPULATION, HIGH BIRTH RATES, HIGH DEATH RATES
39
DTM stage 2
HIGH BIRTH RATES, FALLING DEATH RATES, RISING POPULATION
40
DTM stage 3
BIRTH RATES SLOW, DEATH RATES STILL DROP, LARGE POPULATION GROWTH
41
DTM stage 4
PEEK POPULATION CBR AND CDR LEVELING OFF
42
DTM stage 5
POPULATION STARTS TO DECREASE
43
economic effects of aging population
retirees pay less income tax, post poning retirement, and old ppl get sick
44
endemic
a disease that is affecting a certain area but not those surrounding
45
epidemic
disease that is effecting everyone worldwide
46
Epidemiological Transition Model (ETM)
shows causes of death per stage of the DTM
47
ETM stage 1
people dying from starvation, environmental issues, low sanitation, and other aspects of traditional society
48
ETM stage 2
increase in life expectancy due to sanitation, initially takes a ding from grouping of people, making COD is pandemics
49
ETM stage 3
death due to chronic disorders from aging population
50
ETM stage 4
improvements in medical tech
51
ETM stage 5
reemurgence of disease
52
HIV/AIDS
immune disease spread through bodily liquidos
53
land degredation
long-term damage to the soils abiltiy to support life
54
Malthus' theory of population growth
pop will grow faster then we can keep up and ppl will starve due to lack of food DID NOT EXPECT FOR INDUSTRIALIZATION OF AG
55
neo-malthusian
claims that earths resources can only suppory a finite population
56
overpopulation
exceeds carrying capacity of an area
57
pandemic
worldwide spread of disease
58
political effects of aging pop
voting for what old ppl want not what young peeps need
59
pronatalist pop policy
MORE BABIES
60
Rate if Natural Increase (RNI)
difference between the CBR and the CDR of a pop
61
social effects of aging population
old ppl will die on their conservative hill
62

85
quotas

86
Ravensteins Laws of Migration
1. typically short distance 2. in steps 3. long distance migrants usually go to places with large economic opportunity 4. every migrant generates a movement in the opposite direction 5. people in rural areas migrate more than ones it urban 6. males go longer than females 7. most migrants are young adult males 8. cities grow more by migration than RNI 9. increases economic development 10. usually due to economic factors
