Population Density The dimensions of your region are to scale. The number of you within a region is proportional to the actual population. What does this tell you about the different population densities for each region?

Our Simulation… We will be discussing the following topics for your regions: Population Demographics Quality of Life Land Use Patterns Energy Consumption and Wealth We will review definitions, cover statistics for your region, and have a discussion for each topic. You will graded on your participation – actively listening to others, sharing thoughts.

Part 1: Population Demographics - Vocabulary The number of deaths/year/1,000 The # of years it will take a population to double given its current growth rate The # of people living in a region The number of births/year/1,000 Growth from having more births than deaths in a year (does not include immigration/emigration) Population Birth Rate Death Rate Rate of Natural Increase Doubling Time

Demographics: Real World #’s The 2016 world population was ________________ The birth rate is _____ per 1,000 The death rate is ___ per 1,000 The world’s annual growth rate is ______% At this rate the world’s population will double in ____ years

Demographics: Real World #’s The 2013 world population was 7. 4 billion The birth rate is 20 per 1,000 The death rate is 8 per 1,000 The world’s annual growth rate is 1.2% At this rate the world’s population will double in 58 years

Demographics - Ambassador’s Read aloud A-E on your card North America Latin America Europe Africa Asia

Demographics - Discussion What will it mean to have our population double? What else will we need to have twice as much of to provide for all of those people? Asia’s doubling time is 64 years. If we returned in 64 years and did this exercise again, would we be able to fit twice as many people in Asia’s space? Once twice as many people are in Asia’s space, how will this affect the quality of life for those people? What will need to change to accommodate such a large population? Why are Asia’s statistics so similar to those of the world?

Part 2 – Quality of Life - Vocabulary Literacy Rate Access to Improved Sanitation Nurse and Midwives % of population with access to improved sanitation facility that separates sewage from human contact The ability of an individual to read and write with understanding, a simple statement related to everyday life. The number of people for every nurse

Worldwide Quality of Life Adults (15+), ____% of males & ___% of females are literate The world’s women bear an average of ___ children The world’s infant mortality rate is ____ per 1,000 The average human life expectancy at birth is ___ years ___% Urban and ___% rural of the world’s population have access to improved sanitation On average is 1 nurse or midwife per ____ people in the world

Worldwide Quality of Life Adults (15+), 88% of males & 79% of females are literate The world’s women bear an average of 2.5 children The world’s infant mortality rate is 40 per 1,000 The average human life expectancy at birth is 70 years 79% Urban and 46% rural of the world’s population have access to improved sanitation On average is 1 nurse or midwife per 227 people in the world

Also consider… Disease rates are also indicators of a region’s quality of life. Wordwide: 0.8% of 15-49 year olds live with HIV/AIDS 3.6% of 15-49 year olds in sub-Saharan Africa live with HIV/AIDS This significantly affects the labor force and child care in the region.

Quality of Life Discussion Questions Can you see any connection between Africa’s unusually high infant mortality rate of 68 per 1,000 (almost 1 in 14), and its high total fertility rate of 4.8 children per woman?

Quality of Life Discussion Questions 2. Infant mortality rates are consistently lower in regions in which girls have access to higher education. Is this coincidental, or is there a correlation here? What abilities and or knowledge do educated people have that might be useful to them as parents?

Quality of Life Discussion Questions 3. What do indicators like a high infant mortality rate and short life expectancy say about the quality of life in a region? What are some possible causes?

Land Use Patterns Urban population Arable Land Farmland; land capable of growing crops % of people living in areas termed urban by that region (typically towns of 2,000 or more)

Worldwide Land Use Patterns ____% of the world’s population (about 3.8 billion people) now live in urban areas. There are ____ acres of arable land per person on Earth

Worldwide Land Use Patterns 52% of the world’s population (about 3.8 billion people) now live in urban areas. There are 0.5 acres of arable land per person on Earth

Consider This… The rate of urbanization is changing rapidly. Do you think it is increasing or decreasing?

Megacity issues in the developing world 46% population lives in urbanized areas lack a strong economic foundation upon which to base growth as the population grows, the economic, social, and environmental problems in these cities will grow as well

Developing world moving towards sprawl Current population shift involves people moving away from concentrated urban centers to sprawling suburban and metropolitan regions or small/intermediate sized cities. Is this true of Austin?

How much arable land does 1 person need? The lowest estimate of the minimum amount of arable land needed to feed one person is 0.17 acres. The average yard is 0.2 acres (front and back combined)

Ambassadors Read L & M from your cards North America Latin America Europe Asia Africa

Discussion Questions How will population growth affect the amount of arable land available per person? What would it mean for a country to have its amount of arable land per capita fall below the minimum required to grow enough food to sustain its population? What do you think usually causes people to move to cities?

Part 4: Energy Consumption & Wealth Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Total amount of energy used by each region per year divided by the number of people living in that region. A measure of a nation’s wealth, determined from the annual profits generated within a region by goods and services exchanged that year.

Symbolism of Props Candles All energy sources are being combined and expressed in terms of barrels of oil. These candles represent the average amount of energy consumed by each citizen of each region in the course of a year. One candle = 1 barrel of oil.

Symbolism of Props 2. Candy Represents the amount each person would get per year if his/her region’s annual GDP were divided equally amongst all its citizens, expressed here as US currency. One candy = $1,000

Symbolism of Props 3. Water in Beakers Represents access to improved sanitation. Filled to represent percentage for that region.

Symbolism of Props 4. Band Aids Represent nursing and midwifery personnel Each band-aid represents a nurse or midwife per 100,000 people

Symbolism of Props 5. Urban Population Paper cylinders represent the percentage of the urban population out of the full length of the paper. North America, 81% Latin America, 79% Europe, 71% Africa 40% Asia, 46%

Symbolism of Props 6. Arable Land Sheet of green paper represents 1 acre

Distribution - Asia Would the Ambassador for Asia please come forward. Read your region’s resources out loud. Distribute your “money”

Distribution - Africa Would the Ambassador for Africa please come forward. Read your region’s resources out loud. Distribute your “money”

Distribution - Europe Would the Ambassador for Europe please come forward. Read your region’s resources out loud. Distribute your “money”

Distribution – Latin America Would the Ambassador for Latin America please come forward. Read your region’s resources out loud. Distribute your “money”

Distribution – North America Would the Ambassador for North America please come forward. Read your region’s resources out loud. Enjoy your money. 

Feelings? Reactions?

Discussion What would it be like in this room if we lit all the candles? Would only North America have to breathe the smoke generated by their 54 candles? What do the people in Asian or African regions think about the fact that the North Americans have a bag bulging with wealth while they have so little? How do people from regions with less wealth and opportunity get access to those things?

Discussion What does the North American Ambassador think about the uneven distribution of wealth? How will the wealthier regions decide which countries they will offer foreign aid? Will you put any conditions on the nations receiving your help? Do you trust the countries to put the aid to good use? How will less densely populated regions decide from which countries they will accept immigrants? Will it be first-come, first-served, or will education or other factors be considered when deciding who to let into your region?

Discussion In the process of eating the candies, which region generated the most empty wrappers? Do you think this is an accurate representation of how much garbage each region creates as a function of its wealth and consumption?

Let’s Give a Hand to our Ambassadors!

Wrap-Up Return to your teams and take a minute to discuss two interesting things you each learned from the simulation. Discuss which one you want to share with the whole class.
