Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

The amount of babies a mother can be expected to have

ESPeN

Economic, social, political, environmental

What are economic reasons people would settle in an area?

Job opportunities, access to natural resources, near trade routes

What is a case study of economic factors impacting where people live?

Norilsk Siberia, it’s freezing, but deposits nickel, which is money

What are social factors that impact where people settle?

Housing available, safety, access, transportation, sense of community

Political factors where people settle?

Military can encourage settlement. If they build base, can reduce population by creating parks or historical sites, allowing high-rise buildings, and some errors in single-family homes in others.

Environmental factors that impact where people settle?

Lack of pollution cleaner, near water, fertile soil, elevation, extreme weather

Case study of environmental factors impact anymore people live?

2005 Hurricane Katrina people went from New Orleans to Texas or New York

Social stratification

People splitting up into a hierarchical division, because of their economic status, power or ethnicity

Carrying, Capacity

The population in area can support

Mid latitudes

Regions between 30° and 60° north and south of the equator

A wide base and a tapering upward indicate what on a population pyramid?

That the region is growing, and there’s a large percentage of children

Birth deficit

Slow down a births in the society

Baby boom

A spike in population

Baby bust

Birth rates are lower until boomers have children.

Echo

When a baby boom reaches reproductive ages, and create another spike in birth rate

What does a big elder population indicate?

It indicates a decline in population

What does a large percentage of middle-age people in the population indicate?

It indicates slow growth

What does a square shape indicate in a population pyramid?

Little to no growth, a stable population

What DTM stage has a high CDR and CBR, but a low NIR?

Stage 1

What DTM stage has a high CBR, a rapidly decreasing CDR, and a stable NIR?

Stage 2

What DTM stage has a decreasing CBR, a low CDR, and an increasing NIR?

Stage 3

What DTM stage has a low CBR, a super low CDR, and a low NIR?

stage 4

What DTM stage has a dangerously low CBR, a low CDR, and a negative NIR?

stage 5

give an example of each DTM stage lowest to highest

Amazon, India, Brazil, US, Germany/Japan

Stage 1 pop pyramid

Inconsistent population pyramid

Stage 2 population pyramid

Looks like an exponential graph. Very wide at bottom, skinny on top

Stage 3 pop pyramid

Stable rectangle with pyramid on top

Stage four pop pyramid

Rectangle with tiny taper on top

Stage five pop pyramid

Inverted triangle, less babies being born

Example of a pro natalist policy

In Japan, there is the angel policy which gives families incentives for having more than one child. For instance, you don’t have to pay as much taxes, and the government will give you free free, family counseling.

Example of anti natalist policy

One child policy in China forces parents who have more than one child to pay a fine
