biggest global issue and why are pop scientist interested in it>
- global warming -if people are causing it, or increased number of polluters
implications of global warming on health
- more people will be sicker -severe weather wc more sickness -changing climate ^ malaria in the UK - lots of people displaced = pressure on lots of services and systems - dirty water and so without clean waters more infections and people dying
solutions for global warming
- refrigerant management -wind turbines - educating girls - family planning -solar farms -reduced food wastage
ageing curve draw it
x axis = percentage ((MALES) 10 ,8 , 6 ,4 ,2 0 2 4 6 8 10 (FEMALES))
y axis = age (0-4)….
age curve of world
stablising of the world
what age curve of and why?
developing country - ANGOLA
rapidly expanding
steep pyramid
populaiton is rising
- early stage of demographic curve
- lots of children being born becasue of high levels of mortality
also low life expectancy
what aand why
- recovering population
expanding
zimbabwe
- good levels of fertillity and not high levels of mortality
what and why
- UK
- stationary
- total period fertility rate thats occuring in UK and replacement tehor where the fertility rate must decrease to make up for
- more older people more liely to have multiple chronic. conditions w younger people must pay for
what and why
- singpore
contracting
- showing signs of decline
- poeple in the economic ages must work harder to sustain the older population and more likely their economic state will decrease
what and why
- JAPAN
- contracting curve
- high life exepctancy and not enough young people and so more older people than younger people and the younger people cant sustain the older
