Industrialization
Richest one-fifth of worlds population possess approximately____________times of income of the poorest one-fifth
80
If global fertility rates remain at 2008 levels, the United Nations predicts that world population will be approximately__________billion in 2050

A population in the post-industrial stage would be expected to have
Birth and death rates at low stable levels

Reflects population with high growth rate
World population growth rate is currently close to
1.2%
According to the IPAT model, technology that enhances our acquisition of minerals, fossil fuels, timber, and ocean fish
Increases environmental impact
Malthus and Paul Ehrlich suggest that resource supplies due to greater numbers of people
Not a problem cause new resources can always be found to replace depleted ones
The. “Sensitivity factor” in the model used to represent human environmental impact denotes
The sensitivity of an environment to human pressures
Accurate terms describing the trend over the past 50 years for human use of natural resources are
Increasing and unsustainable
Malthus was responsible for
Idea that without social structures increasing human population would lead to famine and war
A population which is not growing will have a TFR of
2.1
