explain what the world may look like if it was made up of just 100 people
Population: 60 asia, 5 canada/US -Age:0-10 = 10 10-20=17 20-40=30 40-60=2 60+=12 -Technology:50 radios, 45 tvs, 118 cell phones, 28 computers, 2 trucks, 10 automobiles, 20 bicycles -Religion: 33 Christian 21 Muslim 16 non religious 14 Hindu
define and explain why natural increase and doubling time are important tools for a country.
Natural increase=births per day – (minus) deaths per day
-Doubling time: how long for a population to double at current rate.
- estimation using rule of 30
- divide 70 by the population growth rate. Canada’s pop growth rate=1.022%, therefore 68.5 years to double.
Why are they important tools? idk but its easy to bs on an exam so goodluck. probably because it helps planning for the future, through the anticipation of how populations.
what are the different type of migration
Migration=changing residence permanently
Immigration=coming into a country to live there
Emigration= leaving a country to live in another’
International migration=immigration and emigration.
in-migration=coming into another part of their country to live there
out-migration = leaving a part of their country to live in another part
intranational migration=in and out migration
what is and impacts on the push pull concept
push-pull concept= move because of conditions in current area and attraction of a new place
push factors=conditions cause a want to leave current place
pull factors=conditions that cause a want to go to another place
4 factors of push pull concept;
1) Economic
2) Political
3) Environmental
4) Social (health care, education)
Mobals=migrants willing to leave the familiar to take chance on different surrounding
-risk takers
-legal and undocumented border crossing
Motives=employment, asylum
Poorer world=more than 340 candidates for every 100 available job
who are mobals and what is their role on population of countries
Mobals=migrants willing to leave the familiar to take chance on different surrounding
-risk takers
-legal and undocumented border crossing
Motives=employment, asylum
Poorer world=more than 340 candidates for every 100 available job
-mobals decrease the population in les favourable area’s and increase population in favourable countries
explain the 4 stages of population
1) High stationary stage=high birth rate and death rate – (mainly hunting and gathering)
2) Early expanding stage = high birth rate, lower death rate – (agriculture)
3) Late expanding stage = decline birth rate and decline death rate – (Industrialization)
4) Low stationary stage = low br, and dr – (tertiary=services)
why does going to church make people live longer
idk. sorry mate. hes not gonna ask this because he just talked about it and it wasnt in the notes

unit 2 long answer: thomas malthus and paul ehrich both had strong population predictions. for each answer:
1) what did they predict
2) why did they predict it?
3) what were their suggestions to solve the predictions
4) why were they right or wrong?
Thomas Malthus:
1) what did they predict
- Malthusian Catastrophe:
- population exceeds food production
- return to subsistence level conditions
- gave no time frame
- essay on the principle of population
- growth would be checked by hunger within 50 years
2) why did they predict it?
humans capable of overproducing if they are left unchecked
-human population increases geometrically 1-2-4-8-16
-food produced increases arithmetically, 1-2-3-4
3) what were their suggestions to solve the predictions
- . checks that inhibit reproductive capacity are: a) private – late marriage, abstinence, celibacy, b) destructive – war, poverty, disease, famine
4) why were they right or wrong?
wrong: no catastrophe, not occur since there was a large growth in food supply
- contraception, changing family wants
Paul Ehrlich:
1)what did they predict
wrote “the population bomb” in 1968. “the battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of people will starve to death”.
–insisted food and water production at its limits
2) why did they predict it?
-because of the rapid growth of population
3) what were their suggestions to solve the predictions
-a)Temporary sterilants to food and water
b) Top food aid
c) Forced sterilization in India
d) No sacred right to kids’
e) responsibility prizes
4) why were they right or wrong?
wrong:
-1960s pop growth slowed in the 1970s
-food production increased faster than pop growth
-2011 UN study: population will stabilize at 10.1 billion
