2.4 - 2.8 Flashcards

Crude Birth Rate
Number of deaths per year by 1000 people
Crude Death Rate
Future population = current population + (number of births - number of deaths) + (number of immigrants - number of emigrants)
Demographic Balancing Equation
People who moved out of the country
Emigrants
People who moved into the country
Immigrants
The number of children who die before their first birthday
Infant Mortality Rate
The average number of years people live
Life Expectancy
The time it takes for any quantity growing exponentially
Population Doubling Time
The percentage at which a country’s total population is growing or declining without the impact of migration
Rate of Natural Increase
Population continues to grow for at least one generation because even though fertility rates have declined, people are living longer and population grows for another 20 - 40 years
Demographic Momentum
Shows five typical stages of population change that countries experience as they modernize
Demographic Transition Model
Explains the changing death rates and more common causes of death within societies
Epidemiological Transition Model

Neo - Malthusians
Policies attempt to decrease number of births in a country and are often used by developing countries
Anti - Natalist Policies

Pronatalist policies
