What is Crude Death Rate?

Number of deaths per 1000 people a year

100

Explain the DTM.

represents the shifts in growth that the world’s populations have undergone over time.
100

Explain Relocation diffusion

is the spread of cultural traits through migration.

Ex. Migrants bring their music, food, fashion, religion, and language with them.

Many migrants open restaurants, and their food becomes popular within the native-
born culture. 

Examples: Mexican food in the United States, Indian food in Great Britain

100

What is doubling time?

the amount of time it takes for the population of a region to double.

100

What is a Pull Factor and an example of one.

A pull factor is a motivating cause that attracts a person to migrate to another region or country. 


Common pull factors include: Employment opportunities. Higher income. Better working conditions and facilities.

100

What is a population pyramid?

It is used to evaluate the make up of a country's population

200

What is Crude Birth Rate?

Number of Births a year per one thousand people.

200

Explain the ETM

This model focuses on the major causes of death in each stage of the DTM


200

Explain Thomas Malthus's Theory.


BONUS TRIPLE POINTS IF CORRECT*

The theory states that food production will not be able to keep up with growth in the human population, resulting in disease, famine, war, and calamity.

200

DTM is characterize by which 3 main factors?

CBR, CDR, NIR/RNI

200

What is a Push Factor and an example of one.

A push factor is something that encourages an individual to migrate away from a certain place. 


Natural disasters, political revolutions, civil war, and economic stagnation are all reasons why people might want to migrate away from a certain area.

200

Which age group is considered independent group (working)

15-64

300

What is Emigration? 

Movement away from a location

300
After which timeframe did the global population see a significant increase in population due to events such as the Industrial Revolution and Medical Revolution?

1800s

300

Explain Population Policies.

A population policy is a set of measures taken by a State to modify the way its population is changing

300

Decline in CDR is usually a result of ....

improvement technology and healthcare

300

Give a reason for Forced Migration.

DOUBLE POINTS IF CORRECT*

Some reasons for this migration occurring is due to environmental or natural disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, conflicts, and more.

300

What is the dependency ratio and how do we calculate it? 

number of people in a dependent age group ÷number of people in the working-age group, x 100

400

How is Physiological Density different from Arithmetic Density?

Arithmetic density, also known as real density, is very simply the total number of people divided by the total land area. 

Physiological density is the number of people per unit area of arable land

400

Which ETM stage describes the causes of death relating to poor sanitary conditions?

Stage 1

400

At what TFR (Total Fertility Rate) does a population needs to be to maintain their Stationary Population Level (SPL)

TFR of 2.1

400

Low growth is characterized by....

High CBR and High CDR leading to low RNI/NIR

400

What is Net-migration? 

is the difference between the number of immigrants and emigrants in a location.

400

What stage would this be considered? Why?

Stage 1. High CBR and High CDR

500

What is Antinatalist?

policies are designed to curb population growth by discouraging citizens from having children.

500

What is the difference between Pandemic and Endemic?

BONUS DOUBLE POINTS IF CORRECT*

A pandemic is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease over a whole country or the world at a particular time.  

An endemic means a disease is spreading in a community at the normal or expected level.

500

What is  Neo-Malthusian?

school of thought claims that Earth’s resources (Not just food) can only support a finite population. 

Advocate for programs and policies designed to control population growth, so they would be most likely to support a program that limits family size to two children.

500

What are some consequences of an aging population?

An increase in global life expectancy, coupled with decreased fertility rates, is the main reason for the aging population in most countries.


Increase life expectancy. Decrease fertility rates.

500

What is the difference between net-in migration vs net-out migration?

Net-in migration= more people migrate to a country than emigrate from it

Net-out= more people emigrate to a country than immigrate to it.

500


What stage on the DTM would this fall under. Would this population most likely need an anti-natalist or pro-natalist policy?

Stage 5. Pro-Natlist, because the population is declining. 

600

What is Brain Drain? 

Loss of trained or educated people to the lure of another country

600

Which stage in the ETM model is affected by diseases that are related to crowding in cities?

Stage 2

600

What do critics of the Malthusian Theory believe?

They believe that Thomas Malthus did not account for the improvement in technology which would add to growth of food yield.


Ex: Ester Boserup

600

What are some population policies? 

Antinatalist policies-are designed to curb population growth by discouraging citizens from having children.


Pronatalist policies-encourage births and aim to accelerate population growth.

Examples are welcome

600

What is a quota? 

Maximum limits on the number of people who could immigrate to the United States from each country in one year.


Examples:

Quota Act of 1921 continued to severely limit the number of Asian, Arab, and African immigrants allowed in the United States.

The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act instituted a more inclusive policy.

600

Which cause of death on the ETM would a population like this most likely be experiencing?

Chronic and Degernerative Diseases (Heart Disease, Cancer, etc.)
700

What is a Guest Worker?

Citizens of poor countries who obtain jobs (low skilled) that local residents won't accept.

700

A country can still have a growing population even if life expectancy is not very high due to their younger population. This is called __________________

Demographic Momentum

700

Explain the J-Curve when talking about population from the beginning of time until the 20th century.

The world was at a very moderate/gradual growth rate until improvement in technology and health dropped the CDR cause a huge population growth around the world.

700

What causes reduced fertility rates across the world?

The social structure, women rights, religious beliefs, economic prosperity, education, and urbanization within each country are likely to affect birth rates as well as abortion rates.

700

Explain the difference between Urbanization and Sub-Urbanization

Urbanization= Rural -> Urban 

Sub-Urbanization= Urban -> Suburban

700

When one group cause a strain on the independent (working) group to provide and support that group, it is called ____________________

What is a high dependency ratio?

800

Distance Decay

the decline of an activity or function the further you are out from its original point.

800

High Growth

Low Growth

Moderate Growth

Negative Growth

Low Growth


1. Low Growth

2. High Growth

3. Moderate Growth

4. Low Growth

5. Negative Growth

800

Explain Ravenstein's Laws (Name at least 2/3)


  • Most migration is for economic reasons (job opportunities, resources)

  • Most migration goes from rural to urban

  • Migration increases as industries develop
800

What is Population Aging and how is it determined?

Population aging refers to changes in the age composition of a population such that there is an increase in the proportion of older persons.

Low CDR, Low CDR, High life expectancy

800
