Earth’s Population History 6 billion reached 1999 (12 years later) 5 billion reached 1987 (13 years later) 4 billion reached 1974 (15 years later) 3 billion reached 1959 (29 years later) DISCUSSION: * What is the present world population? [get an up-to-date estimate at http://www.census.gov/] 2 billion reached 1930 (100 years later) 1 billion reached circa 1830 Source: Kuby, HGIA

Demographic Transition Model Explaining Spatial Patterns of World Population Growth Many graphics in this powerpoint are from Michael Kuby et al., Human Geography in Action (instructor package) or online materials posted by Keith Montgomery, Dept of Geology and Geography, Univ of Wisconsin - Marathon County (http://www.uwmc.uwc.edu/geography/Demotrans/demtran.htm)

Demographic Transition Model DISCUSSION: * Are there countries that do not fit this model?

DTM based on historical patterns in Europe & other MDCs

DTM only predicts changes in birth/death rates over time Observed changes in RNI correlate to changes in economic development Thus, DTM implies: The greater the wealth, the lower the RNI ... but use caution describing this relationship

Stages in Classic 4-Stage Demographic Transition Model (DTM) (Some books show a 3-stage model; others mention a new 5th stage)

Stage 1: “Pre-Industrial” High birth rates and high death rates (both about 40) Population growth very slow Agrarian society High rates of communicable diseases Pop. increases in good growing years; declines in bad years (famine, diseases) No country or world region still in Stage One

Stage 2: “Early Industrial” High birth rates (over 30) but death rates decline (to about 20) RNIs increase sharply (pop. explosion); growth rate increases thruout Stage Two Growth not from increase in births, but from decline in deaths MDCs = starts early 1800s LDCs = starts after 1950s

TRANSITION TO STAGE TWO IN CLASSIC DTM Known as the Epidemiologic Transition Agricultural technology Improvements in food supply: higher yields as agricultural practices improved in “Second Agricultural Revolution” (18th century) In Europe, food quality improved as new foods introduced from Americas Medical technology Better medical understanding (causes of diseases; how they spread) Public sanitation technologies Improved water supply (safe drinking water) Better sewage treatment, food handling, and general personal hygiene Improvements in public health especially reduced childhood mortality

Declining Infant Mortality Rates

When IMR declines, fertility rates drop soon after

Stage 3: “Later Industrial” Birth rates decline sharply (to about 15) Death rates decline a bit more (to about 10 or less) Note growth still occurs, but at a reduced and declining rate MDCs = starts in late 1800s LDCs = starts after 1980s* * Or hasn’t started yet

Measles Mortality, US, since 1900 Stage Three: Further improvements in medicine lower death rates more; raise life expectancies Measles Mortality, US, since 1900 TB Mortality, US, since 1900

TRANSITION TO STAGE THREE IN CLASSIC DTM Known as the Fertility Transition Societies become more urban, less rural Declining childhood death in rural areas (fewer kids needed) Increasing urbanization changes traditional values about having children City living raises cost of having dependents Women more influential in childbearing decisions Increasing female literacy changes value placed on motherhood as sole measure of women’s status Women enter work force: life extends beyond family, changes attitude toward childbearing Improved contraceptive technology, availability of birth control But contraceptives not widely avail in 19th century; contributed little to fertility decline in Europe … Fertility decline relates more to change in values than to availability of any specific technology

Rapidly increasing urbanization in world LDCs today Population Classified as Urban

Strong inverse relationship between female literacy and fertility rates, observed globally Increasing availability and use of modern contraception in most LDCs since 1970s

Stage 4: “Post-Industrial” Birth rates and death rates both low (about 10) Population growth very low or zero MDCs = starts after 1970s LDCs = hasn’t started yet Stage 5 (?): Hypothesized (not in Classic DTM) Much of Europe now or soon in population decline as birth rates drop far below replacement level

Key Population Indicators for Selected Countries DISCUSSION: * Are there any countries still in stage 1 of the demographic transition? * What other countries not shown would you expect to find in stages 2, 3, and 4?

Differences in DTM experience: MDCs & LDCs ● Faster decline in death rates — Tech improvements diffused from MDCs & applied rapidly in LDCs post-WW2 ● Longer lag between decline in deaths and decline in births — Stage 3 slower start in LDCs where econ growth is delayed ● Higher max rates of growth in LDCs — Over 3.5% peak RNI in Mauritius and Mexico; only 1.3% peak in Sweden

Age structures today in LDCs are much younger than MDCs experienced – leading to prolonged “Demographic Momentum” – expected growth of pop. long after fertility declines Percentage of Population Under Age 15

Summary of DTM for LDCs Industrializing LDCs with some economic development follow DTM more closely; now in Stage Three. Most like MDCs in places where female literacy has increased the most. Lowest-income countries have high birth rates & deaths are leveling off at higher rates than DTM predicts (Stage 2). In some LDCs, death rates starting to increase (epidemics, worsening poverty)

AZ: Breakdown by Ethnic Population Groups within MDCs may have varying pop patterns DISCUSSION: * What do these two population pyramids tell us about the Native American population growth rate in Arizona? [note: retirees keep elderly as a relatively large portion of the population & in-migration of young, working population is reflected in the "all Arizona" pyramid] * Given the above information, is it likely that the American Indian Population will grow in terms of their overall proportion of Arizona's population? [not soon due to small base population and non-native in-migration]
