the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear

24
Q

Total Fertility Rate

A

is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime

25
Q

Five Population Clusters

A

East Asia ( China, Japan, South Korea – 1/4 of World Population)

South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh – 1/5 of World’s pop. ¾ of this in India)

Europe (Western, Eastern, And Russia – 1/8 of worlds pop in 4 dozen countries.)

South East Asia (series of islands bet. Indian and Pacific Oceans) – ½ billion. Indonesia = #4 pop in world)

Eastern North America (N.E. US, and SE Canada) – 2% of worlds population live here. 5% farmers (very urban))

26
Q

carrying capacity

A

maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain

27
Q

sex ratio

A

The number of males per 100 females in the population.

28
Q

population momentum

A

population growth at the national level that would occur even if levels of childbearing immediately declined to replacement level. For countries with above-replacement fertility (greater than 2.1 children per woman), population momentum represents natural increase to the population.

29
Q

Natural hazards of population increase

A

limited resources
limited space
….

30
Q

Demographic Transition Model- Stage 1

A

ancient civilizations

short lives
short and flat

31
Q

Demographic Transition Model- Stage 2

A

Cambodia, Laos, India, Sub-Sahara Africa, Afgahnistan

living longer, but alot of death
birth rate very high

low gender equality (woman dont have choice)
subsistence farming

32
Q

Demographic Transition Model- Stage 3

A

*LABEL OF YOUR SHIRT

Mexico, vietnam, china, brazil, chile
Birth rates now fall and death rates continue to fall.

Natural increase remains high and population growth is rapid.

The birth rates fall as there is better access to family planning and people have begun to appreciate the fact that families are expensive and that women are able to work.

Death rates continue to fall as medical care, water supply and accommodation are improved.

33
Q

Demographic Transition Model- Stage 4

A

Less kids, live longer
Europe, USA, Canada…
Expensive to live, career oriented, birth control common, womans rights

34
Q

Demographic Transition Model- Stage 5

A

*more old then young

Japan, Italy, Russia

very expensive, anti-natalism policies, access to birth control, very career oriented.

35
Q

maltus

A

ALL SCREWED

Q

ravenstein’s laws

A

1) Factors that stimulate migration: conflict, economic conditions, political strife, cultural circumstances, environmental change, and technological advances.
2) Migrants move on basis of their perceptions of particular destinations; distance affects accuracy of perception.
3) Migration usually takes place in stages. Rural-to-urban movement occurs in steps, often from smaller to larger centers. Migrants tend to relocate repeatedly after reaching their destination.
4) Voluntary migrants are stimulated by “pull” as well as “push” factors.
5) Forced migrations result from the imposition of power by stronger peoples over weaker ones.
