Population 4.1 Flashcards
Human Geography Population
Natural Increase Rate
The difference between the birth and death rate
4.1 Natural Increase as a component of the population change
Compensation Births
Have fewer children so you can fund their eduction and health
Rapid Growth of DTM (Stage 2/3)
Wide Base= High Fertility
Steep Decrease= High Mortality
Shallow Top = Low Life Expentancy
population
Slow Growth (Stage 4 of DTM)
Medium base=medium fertility
Width of the diagram= Low mortality
Wide Top= high life expectancy
Negative Growth (Stage 5 of DTM)
Inverted Base= Low Fertility
Width of diagram=Low Mortality
Wide Top=High Life Expectancy
Stage 1: High Stationary
for example, Amazon Tribes
Stage 2 Early Expanding
for example, Niger. Infant mortality is decreasing and life expectancy is increasing
Demographic Transition
Stage 3 Late Expanding
for example, Bangladesh
Large productive working population
Death rate stabilises but birth rate is higher
Demograpahic Transition
Stage 4 Low Stationary
ie, UK- death/birth rate is equal so population stops growing.
Life expectancy increases- low infant mortality
Demographic Transition
Stage 5- Decline
Give an example country
ie Japan. Population is aging post industrial phase. Death rate is greater than birth rate = Population Decline
What is the population-resource relationship?
Population and resources have a strong relationship with one another. The growth and decline of population affects the availability of natural resources. At the same time, the availability of natural resources affects the trends seen in population.
