population, changes therein, and the components of such changes, which may
be identified as natality, mortality, territorial movement (migration), and social mobility (change of status).”
Demography
Components of Population Growth
Natural Increase (Births-Deaths) + Net Migration (Immigration - Emigration) = Population at Time
Population growth can occur only if:
Birth > Death
(Birth rate increases or Death rate declines)
Natural increase is positive
Population growth can occur only if:
Immigration > Emigration
Immigration rate increases or Emigration declines
Net migration is positive
is the interval between these two
stages during which the population increases oftentimes rapidly, as births exceed deaths.
Transition
Two Types of Internal Migration
- Interregional Migration:
Movement between regions of a country. - Intraregional Migration:
Movement within a single region.
Ability to move permanently or temporarily.
Mobility
- Also called ecological refugees.
- Not protected under the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Increasing numbers due to:
* Climate change
* Water shortages
* Severe weather events
Environmentally Displaced Persons
- Over 7.3 billion people on Earth, unevenly
distributed. - 80% of the global population lives near large bodies of water.
True or False
True
- Describes historical, current, and future
population trends. - More developed countries (MDCs) vs. less
developed countries (LDCs).
Demographic Transition Model

8-9 billion
Key Debates: Earth has reached its carrying capacity.
Malthus Theory
Key Debates: Technology consistently
outpaces food scarcity concerns.
* High populations as a potential benefit for less developed countries.
Counterargument
