AP HUG Unit 2 Reverse Flashcards
the study of population characteristics
demography
how people are spread out through an area
population distribution
factors that influence where and how many people live in an area. based on geographic/environmental strengths and weaknesses
physical factors influencing population
the portion of earth’s surface settled by humans
ecumene
factors that influence where and how many people live in an area that are based on human causes

dependent population
survey that gathers data about population and demographics
census
the tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution
demographic momentum
rate of growth for a population excluding any outside factors. just CBR/CDR.
RNI, rate of natural increase
amount of time it takes for a population to double
population doubling time
people are dying at the same rate that they are being born
ZPG, zero population growth
total births per 1,000 people
CBR, crude birth rate
total deaths per 1,000 people
CDR, crude death rate
model that predicts and explains population growth
DTM, demographic transition model
what stage of the DTM is characterized by high fluctuating CBR and CDR
stage one
what stage of the DTM is characterized by a declining CDR and a fairly stable CBR
stage two
what stage of the DTM is characterized by a decline in the CDR’s rate of decline and a declining CBR
stage three
what stage of the DTM is characterized by a low fluctuating CBR and CDR
stage four
what stage of the DTM is characterized by many different ideas: a stable CBR and CDR, or CDR surpassing CBR, etc.
stage 5
population pyramid with a wide base and small top
expansive population pyramid
population pyramid with mostly equal populations in its cohorts, gradually decreasing at the top
stationary population pyramid
model that explains and predicts epidemiological trends
epidemiological transition model, ETM
what stage of the ETM is characterized by very high death rates (infectious diseases, famine, human conflict, etc)? aka pestilence and famine stage
stage 1
what stage of the ETM is characterized by decreasing rates of pandemics (improved medicine and sanitation)? aka receding pandemic stage
stage 2
what stage of the ETM is characterized by the continued lowering of level of pandemics, but degenerative diseases (ex. cancer, heart disease) rates start to rise? aka degenerative and human created disease stage
stage 3
what stage of the ETM is characterized by delayed onset of degenerative and age related diseases due to better medicine? aka delayed degenerative disease stage
stage 4
what stage of the ETM is characterized by theories such as increased rate of infectious and parasitic disease due to antibiotic resistance? aka reemerging of infectious and parasitic disease stage
stage 5
a theory that predicts that humans will outstrip their food supply due to population being predicted to increase exponentially as opposed to food supply, which is predicted to increase linearly.
malthusian theory
people who apply Mathus’ theories to the modern world.
neo-malthusians
policy that encourages births
pronatalist policy
policy that discourages births
antinatalist policy
policies that relate to immigration
immigration policies
someone’s ability to get an education
access to education
someone’s ability to get medical services
access to healthcare
someone’s ability to get contraception
access to contraception
average amount of babies each woman will have in her lifetime
TFR, total fertility rate
laws developed by ravenstein to describe migration patterns
ravenstein’s laws of migration
as you get further from a source, the effect it has is limited
distance decay
migrants moving in smaller steps along their way to their destination
step migration
a movement of people against a migration flow
counter migration
movement of people out of cities into rural/suburban areas
counter urbanization
a theory that states the larger and closer something is, the more effect it has
gravity model
average number of years a baby is expected to live from birth
life expectancy
the number of babies that die on average per 1,000 births
infant mortality rate
percentage of people over 65 to the working age population
