Q

To determine if an area is overpopulated, several
factors and indicators are typically considered:

A
  1. Population Density:
  2. Resource Availability:
  3. Environmental Degradation:
  4. Living Standards:
  5. Infrastructure Strain:
  6. Employment Opportunities:
  7. Health Indicators:

Q

This measures the number of people per unit area (e.g.,
per square kilometer or mile). High
can be a sign of overpopulation, especially if it exceeds
the area’s capacity to provide resources and services.

7
Q

Overpopulation often leads to strain on essential
resources like food, water, and energy. If the demand
for these resources exceeds what the area can
sustainably provide, it may indicate overpopulation.

Q

Overpopulated areas often show signs of
environmental stress, such as deforestation, pollution,
soil depletion, and loss of biodiversity, due to excessive
use of natural resources.

Q

In overpopulated regions, living conditions may
decline, including increased poverty, lack of housing,
overcrowded schools and hospitals, and inadequate
sanitation.

Q

Overpopulation can overload infrastructure like roads,
public transport, sewage systems, and healthcare
facilities, resulting in congestion and reduced service
quality.

Q

High population growth with limited job opportunities
can lead to high unemployment or underemployment,
which may signal that an area has more people than it
can economically support.

Q

:
High rates of diseases, malnutrition, and poor
healthcare access can indicate overpopulation, as these
issues may result from inadequate resources and
services.

Q

The number of children who would be born per
woman if she/they were pass through the child
bearing years bearing children according to current
schedule of age specific.

A

TOTAL FERTILITY RATE

19
Q

means number of live births
per 1000 woman between the age of 15 to 44
years

Q

How is population measured

A

Census:
Sample Surveys:
Vital Statistics:

21
Q

The movement of people into (immigration) & out
(emigration) of specific geographic areas

A

MIGRATION

22
Q

is the most comprehensive method of
population measurement. Conducted every 5 to 10 years in
many countries, it aims to count every individual in a
defined area, gathering information on age, gender,
occupation, education, and other demographic factors. This
data provides a baseline for understanding population size,
distribution, and characteristics.

A

census

23
Q

help
track changes in population and demographic trends. These
surveys, like the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) or
national household surveys, collect data from representative
samples and use statistical methods to estimate characteristics
of the broader population.

A

sample surveys

24
Q

: Birth and death records, marriage and divorce
rates, and migration data contribute to population estimates.
Many countries maintain civil registration systems that log
births, deaths, and other life events, allowing governments to
track population changes over time.

A

Vital Statistics

25
Q

How is population can be calculated

A

Population Change=(Births−Deaths)+(Immigration−Emigration)

26
Q

Calculated by subtracting the number of deaths from
the number of births. This represents the change due to natural events
within the population.Natural Increase: Calculated by subtracting the number of deaths from
the number of births. This represents the change due to natural events
within the population.

A

Natural Increase:

27
Q

Calculated by subtracting the number of people who
leave the area (emigration) from those who move in (immigration).
Immigration: People moving into the area from elsewhere

A

Net Migration:

Q

▪ Crude Birth rate.
▪ Crude Death Rate
▪ Rate of Natural Increase
