Population Patterns
This term describes the Unit of people living per unit of land.
What is Population Density ;)
Births, minus deaths, excluding migration, measures this...
What is Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)?
This model describes how birth rates and death rates change as a country develops.
What is the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)?
This kind of government policy encourages people to have more children.
What is a pronatalist policy?
These factors encourage people to leave their current location.
What are push factors?
Climate, water and landforms are examples of these factors influencing where people live.
What are physical factors?
This rate measure the rate of live births per thousand (1,000) people per year.
What is the crude birth rate?
In this DTM stage, birth rates remain high while death rates fall rapidly, causing rapid population growth.
What is Stage 2?
This kind of policy attempts to reduce birth rates or slow population growth.
What is an antinatalist policy?
These factors attract people to a new location.
What are pull factors?
This type of density measures farmers per unit of arable land.
What is Agricultural density?
This rate measure the rate of live deaths per thousand (1,000) people per year.
What is Crude Death Rate
This thinker argued that population could grow faster than food production, potentially creating resource shortages.
Who is Thomas Malthus?
This demographic measure represents the average number of children a woman is expected to have during her reproductive years.
What is the total fertility rate (TFR)?
A person leaves a country because of persecution or armed conflict. This is an example of what type of migration?
What is forced migration?
A population map shows people clustered near rivers and coastlines. This describes a population's spatial agreement.
What is population distribution... ufff.
A population with a high portion of children is likely to have a high value for this future demographic need.
What is youth dependency or (youth dependency ratio)?
This theory argues that innovation and human adaptation can help increase food production as populations grow.
What is the anti-Malthusian perspective?
Name one way greater access to education and employment for women can contribute to lower fertility rates.
It can increase reproductive autonomy and delay marriage or childbirth, often contributing to smaller families.
A migrant moves to a nearby country because a job offer makes it attractive. The job offer is an example of this.
What is a pull factor?
One reason why densely populated areas may experience greater pressure on infrastructure.
More people can compete for housing, roads, water, schools and other services.
A country has a CBR OF 24 AND A CDR of 9 per 1,000 people. Calculate it's RNI as a percentage, excluding migration.
What is 1.5%.
24 - 9 = 15 per 1,000 or 1.5%
A country has declining birth rates, low death rates, and slow population growth. Identify the most likely DTM stage.
What is Stage 3? (Stage 4 may also show low birth and death rates, but typically very low or stable growth.)
Explain one challenge an aging population may create for a country's government.
Greater pension and healthcare costs, a smaller working-age population, or labor shortages.
Explain one economic effect migration may have on a destination country and one effect on a country of origin.
Destination: migrants may fill labor shortages or increase demand for services.
Origin: remittances may support families, while emigration can contribute to brain drain.
