44
4 most populated regions in the world
south asia east asia Europe Southeast Asia.
45
Types of density and why each is important
population density arithmetic density (crude density) psychological density agriculture density
46
Push factors and examples (economic, cultural, religious, political, agricultural)
push factors: conflict,appresive government ( Ex. gang violence,hurricane damage,and migrants left RWanda in 1994 because of estimated one million were dead)
47
pull factors and examples (economic, cultural, religious, political, agricultural)
pull factors:peace,greater freedom,from government oversight (ex. a steady government,safe neighborhoods, and plentiful job opportunities.)
48
Conditions that decrease/increase TFR
A country's TFR can be impacted by government policies, war or conflict,increased urbanization,economic stability or instability,higher level of education among women,higher rates of women participating in the labor force, and the influence of cultur
49
Ways to increase life expectancy
core countries-more than 80 years old peripheral countries - 50 years ways to increase:be a wealthy country,having access to…….. health care, clean water,adequate food,and shelter.
50
Population growth throughout history (when and why did it spike)
industrial revolution in the 1800s this happened because of urbanization (growth and development of cities) medical revolution in the early 20th centuries, this is because they created vaccines for diseases such as penicillin ,smallpox,malaria, and TB reaction. This helped because less people were dying from this disease now.
51
Examples that increase/decrease CBR
peripheral countries have much higher rates than core lowest CBR is in europe highest CBR is in africa having a high migration of men causes low CBR rate
52
Thomas Malthus Theory (those who support and critics) malthusians are for the theory but neo malthusians do not support the theory.
unaware of today's contraceptive method that has slowed population growth. technological advances have increased the food supply.
53
Demographic Transition ( a model that describe population change over time and place countries in different stages of population growth. (EVERYTHING)
stage 1: low growth (birth and death rates are high; low population size) stage 2:high growth (birth rates are high death rates fall; population grows) stage 3:moderate growth (birth rates decrease; death rates are low;population growth slows stage 4:low growth (low birth and death rate;constant population zero growth) stage 5:declining population (low birth and death rate; decreasing population)
54
Pronatalist/Antinatalist policies and examples
antinalists- designed to curb population growth by discouraging citizens from having children. the goal is to reduce the risk of potential famine or disease due to overuse of natural resources and to ensure that there are sufficient schools,jobs, and services to support the future population. Ex.china's one child policy pronatalist - policies encourage births and aim to accelerate population growth. SOme experts
54
Epidemiologic Transition Model
describes changes in fertility,mortality,life expectancy,and population age distribution,largely as the result of changes in cause of death
55
Consequences of an aging population
there is a surge in healthcare cost also a decline in employment.
56
Pull Factors of Chinese Students (p 112)

57
Push Factors of Chinese Students
Stress, lack of job security, violence and crime, racism, loneliness, no choice
58
Gravity Model explanation
geographers derived from the Newton law of universal gravitation to predict the interaction between two or more places. The model suggests that as the population of a city increases , migration to the city increases and the distance to a city grows the migration to that city decreases.
59
Examples of different types of migration
voluntary migration-people make the choice to move to a new place forced migration-people are compelled to move by economic,political,environmental,or cultural factors. transnational migration-immigrants move to a new country retain strong,culutral,emotional,and financial ties to there country of origin and may regularly return for visits international migration-movement within a countries border friction of distance-the longer the journey is,the more time and effort it will costs chain migration-people move to a location because other people in their community have previously migrated there. step migration- smaller moves to get to the ultimate destination intervening obstacle-a occurrence that holds migrants back intervening opportunities-an occurrence that cause migrant to pause there journey by choice guest workers-migrants who travel to a new country as temporary laborers, like the mexican workers who participated in the bracero program. circular migration- when migrant workers move back and forth between their country of origin and the destination country where they work temporary jobscircular migration- when migrant workers move back and forth between their country of origin and the destination country where they work temporary jobs
