population pyramids

A

provides a visual representation of a population in terms of age and sex as well as a good indication of the dependency ratio within a country and is used to assess population growth and decline and to predict markets for goods/services

Q

declining/negative growth

A

the base is smaller that previous cohorts (pop pyramid)

28
Q

Q

Demographic transition model

A

describes the relationship between population and the development of a country and can be used to explain population change

51
Q

5 stages of demographic transition model

A 
Pre-industrialization
Developing countries (pop increase)
developing country (pop levels off)
developed country (pop stable)
developed country (pop decline)
52
Q

(causes of changing death rates) epidemiological transition

A

increase in population due to medical innovation causing a decrease in the death rate

53
Q

Stage 1- Pre-industrialization

A

birth rates are high and death rates are high- low pop growth

54
Q

Stage 2- Developing country

A

birth rates are high and death rates begin to drop- population increases

55
Q

Stage 3- Developing country

A

birth rates begin to drop and death rates drop- population levels off

56
Q

Stage 4- Developed Country

A

birth rates are low and death rates are low- population stabalizes

57
Q

Stage 5- Developed country

A

birth rates are very low and death rates are low- population declines

58
Q

(causes of changing death rates) Population explosion

A

the very great and continuing increase in human population in modern times

59
Q

(consequences of population change) Thomas Malthus (1798)

A

argued that the size and growth of a population depends on the food supply and agricultural methods AND when there is an insufficient supply of food, people die

60
