Long-term care homes, canes, adjustable bed, medication, nursing homes, nurses, adult day programs, finance and household support…

Explains what happens in stage 5 of the DTM. Reference the BR, DR, and total population
The BR is lower than the DR and there is a population decline

Calculate the Population Growth Rate in %
NIR: 4.2/1000 NMR: 3.7/1000
PGR = 4.2/1000 + 3.7/1000
PGR = (7.9/1000) x 100
PGR = 0.79%

Name the three types of population pyramids and provide one characteristics about the population for each
Expansionary – a large young population, high DR, high BR, higher dependency load…
Restrictive – very low BR, low DR, long life expectancy, higher dependency load…
Stationary – age groups in all categories, long life expectancy…
400
What does the BR and DR look like in stage 1? Provide a country that might be in stage one right now.
BR and DR are both high. People are having a lot of children but the life expectancy is low as the countries are not well-developed to support population growth (lots of diseases, not enough food, not sanitary, etc.)
There are no countries in stage 1
400
Calculate the dependency load of this country:
0-10: 500,000
11- 14: 1,200,000
15-25: 2,400,000
25-55: 1,400,000
55-64: 450,000
65-80: 26,000
81+: 15,000
The Dependency Load is 1,741,000 people

Analyze this pop. pyramid. What type is it? What is the life expectancy? What is the birth rate?
Identify one SPECIFIC thing (specific infrastructure, sector, resource etc.) that the country's government should be worried about and explain why they should be worried.
Expansive. Low life expectancy. Very high birth rate.
Job opportunities as the young population grows. Creation of more houses for the growing population. Education resources, such as more teachers or bigger classrooms because there will be more younger people. Food security because people will need enough food to grow up healthy.
500
What happens between stage 2 and 3 of the DTM? Explain
In stage two, DR declines because more access to food and improvements in public health.
In stage three, the BR declines because women are more educated (higher literacy rate), lower infant mortality, increasing urbanization, improvements in contraceptives, more female employment
500
Country F:
BR = 14.2/1000
DR = 10.4/1000
Calculate the Doubling Time for this country only using the natural increase rate
NIR = 14.2/1000 -10.4/1000
NIR = (3.8/1000) x 100
NIR = 0.38
DT = 70/0.38
DT = 184.2 years

What is the current world population (rounded to nearest billion)?
Give one reason why the world population has been growing exponentially.
Is the growth experienced equally in all parts of the world? Explain
8 billion
Reason: Better access to food and water. Better infrastructure such as healthcare. More technological advances in medicine. Industrialization means that there is more food production.
No growth is not experienced equally. More developed countries tend to have lower birth rates.
