Chap 4 Flashcards
Shows 5 typical stages of population change that countries go through as they modernize
Demographic Transition Model
Hunter and Gatherer. High birth rate and high fluctuating death rate.
Stage 1 DTM
Population pyramid 1 is a..
Shrub
High birth rate and low life expectancy. High population growth. Less developed region EX: Niger
Stage 2 DTM
Population pyramid 2 is a..
Tree
Declining birth rate and a more slowly declining death rate. Life expectancy going up. Countries try to leave this stage as soon as possible to avoid long-term exponential growth. Ex: Turkey
Stage 3 DTM
Population Stage 3 pyramid is a…
House
As countries move from stage 3 to 4 population will grow for at least one generation. Due to fertility rates declining and people living longer
Demographic Momentum
Steady Population Growth. Low and Steady Birth rate. Low death rate. High life expectancy. More old people. More developed country. EX: France
Stage 4 DTM
Stage 4 population pyramid is a…
Box
Declining Population. Largest age group is 65-69. Aging population. EX: Japan
Stage 5 DTM
Stage 5 Population Pyramid is a…
Cup
Explains changing death rates and common causes of death within society.
Epidemiological Transition Model
People who moved into the country
Immigrant
People who moved out of the country
Emigrant
Number of births per 1000 people
Crude Birth Rate
Number of deaths per 1000 people
Crude Death Rate
Total number of children that would be born to each woman if she were to live to the end of her child-bearing years
Total Fertility Rate
Average number of years people live.
Life expectancy
Number of babies who die before 1st birthday per 1000 people.
Infant Mortality Rate
The rate at which a country is growing or declining without the impact of migration.
Rate of Natural Increase
The time it takes for the population to double
Population doubling time
Analyzed the relationship between natural resource use and the growing population. Believed society for on their way to starvation
Thomas Malthus
Society was on the path to mass starvation
Malthusian Theory
