Slide 3 You may begin….. Record down your start time

Slide 4 The growth of population on a global scale. 1. Is World population Growing or Declining? 2. Is the growth fast or slow? Go to watch “Population Growth Today” and “World population History” Birth rates and death rates vary between countries. 3. What do the following terms mean Birth Rate Death Rate Life expectancy Dependency Ratio Infant Mortality

Slide 5 LEDCFactors increasingFactors decreasing Birth Rate Death Rate 4. Complete these tables

Slide 6 The rate of population change varies over time. The Demographic Transition Model shows population change 5. How many stages does the model have? 6. In which stage is Birth Rate and Death rate LOW? 7. In which stage does death rate decrease rapidly? Go to watch “The Demographic Transition Model”

Slide How do the following differ between an MEDC and LEDC Birth rate. Life expectancy Dependency ratio Death Rate Contrasting population pyramids of an LEDC and an MEDC

Slide Population Pyramids change over time. 9 How do the following change as a country changes from an LEDC to MEDC. Birth Rate Life expectancy Dependency Ratio

Slide Population Pyramids change over time. 10 How will the UK population pyramid change between 2007 and 2050.

Slide The relationship between population structure (and birth rates and death rates) and economic development 11 Use High Low Short Long to complete the table Stage 1Stage 2Stage 3Stage 4 Birth Rate Death rate Life expectancy Infant mortality

Slide A case study to illustrate strategies to influence natural population change within a country. CHINA ONE CHILD POLICY 1.What is the policy? 2. Why was it needed? 3. Has it worked? 4. Are there any negative effects ? 5. What will happen in the future?

Slide The effects of overpopulation in an LEDC. The number of people living in a place outweighs the availability of resources. 12 Name an example of overpopulation 13 Why did it happen 14 What were the effects Ageing populations 15 What causes an Ageing population? 16 How will these be affected by an ageing population Pensions Demand for health services Crime Rates

Slide Push and pull factors influencing migration. (the Cause of Urbanisation) 17 Complete the table by adding the following: (i) Travel Costs; Climate; higher education; Birth rate falls, Congestion (ii) Family, returnees have new skills, Remoteness, Border control, New culture, food and music (iii) Crime increases, Money sent home, Disasters, Money, Higher wages EFFECT on original area PUSH FactorsObstaclesPull Factors Effect on destination area

Slide A case study of international migration to illustrate the causes, consequences and management 18 Complete a copy of this table Mexicans to USA EFFECT on original area PUSH FactorsObstaclesPull Factors Effect on destination area How does Mexico manage this?How does the USA manage this ?

Slide Use the statements below to complete the table Deindustrialisation; Tertiarisation; Middle income Families; Retired people; Better climate and quieter surroundings People looking for work; People wanting a bigger house. A case study of migration within one country – UK Complete the table MovementLocationWho is movingReason Regional migrationNorth south Drift Suburbanisation Inner city to edge of city Counter urbanisation Movement to Devon and Cornwall

Slide Consequences of Urbanisation Complete this table of the consequences of Urbanisation for MEDC and LEDC cities using the following: Increase in number of Jobs in service sector; Increase in car ownership causes congestion and pollution; Clean water, sanitation, health centres and power not available. Insufficient schools; Retail jobs lost to out of town locations; Shanty Town development; Poor quality housing in Inner city areas (terraced, Tower blocks) Large pool of cheap labour available for Industry; Retail parks and business parks in out of town locations; Growth in informal sector employment; Large number of commuters cause congestion; CBD dominated by finance and MNCs; Urban Sprawl and loss of Greenfield sites; Unemployment. LocationHousingTrafficServicesJobs MEDC LEDC

Slide Management of Urbanisation. Complete this table using the statements below to show how Urbanisation is managed in MEDC and LEDC cities: Rubbish recycling schemes; Improve public transport (Trams); Redevelopment; Squatters given legal title; Squatters given legal title; Regenerate city centres for Retail; Use of Brownfield sites; Gentrification; Car +1 dedicated lanes; Park and Ride schemes; Aided self help housing; Site and service schemes; Cycle lanes; Congestion charges; Limit number of cars; Develop public transport LocationHousingTrafficServicesJobs MEDC LEDC

Slide Causes of counter-urbanisation Are the following Push or pull factors: High crime rates; Pollution; Clean air; More of a community spirit; Poor services; Cheaper living; Peaceful Environment; Retirement; Traffic congestion Push FactorsPull Factors

Slide The consequences of counter-urbanisation Can you give reasons for these consequences: HousingTrafficServicesJobs Increase in house price Young people forced to leave villages Use of Greenfield sites in popular villages Increase in number of cars in village Local shops, post offices and garages close. Local schools close Decrease in number of jobs vailable

Slide The management of counter-urbanisation. Can you give named examples of these schemes: HousingTrafficServicesJobs Housing associations provide affordable housing Example: Village minibus schemes Example: Community Shops Example: New business initiative with Government support. Example:
