This is the scientific study of characteristics of population
Demography
The largest number of people that the environment of a particular area can support
Carrying Capacity
The main characteristics of the third stage of the DTM, what is happening to CBR, CDR, and population growth?
Declining Birth Rates, Declining Death Rates, Population growth begins to slow.
Money sent back to a country of origin
A portion of earth's surface occupied permanently by human settlement.
Ecumene
Investments in this are crucial for a country to move from stage 2 to stage 3.
Infrastructure
Seen here... is a population pyramid of Scotland, which is in this stage of the demographic transition model.
Stage 3, (Low birth rates, low death rates, lower natural increase)
This English economist argued that population will increase faster than food production.
Thomas Malthus
This stage of the ETM is referred to as the delayed degenerative diseases stage
Stage 4
This population pyramid shows an anomaly, the reason for this strange structure is...
Large portions of people retire in this region of Florida
This is why populations will continue to grow for a generation or two even after birth rates and death rates drop.
Demographic momentum
Countries in stage 5 of the DTM, typically implement these types of population policies
expansive or pro-natalist
Give 2 reasons death rate is falling rapidly in stage 2
Improvements in medical care, water quality and sanitation improvements, less children dying
This is the way you calculate a countries natural increase rate
CBR - CDR
Provide two of Ravenstein's Laws of Migration
1.Most migrants move a short distance
2.Most migrants that do move farther favor urban areas*
3.Migration occurs in steps
4.Most migration is rural to urban
5.Economic factors are the main reasons people move
6.Each migration creates a counter migration*
7.Most migrants are young single adults
8.Most international migrants are male, women are more migratory in shorter distances*
