Can you guess what this is showing?

That was illiterate women. What is being illiterate mean? What is being literate mean?

Less developed countries More developed countries World Population Growth, Population (in billions) billion World population growth, Source: United Nations, World Population Prospects, The 1998 Revision (New York: UN, 1998); and estimates by the Population Reference Bureau.

Population Pyramids What does it show? What numbers? From where? How can you use it?

What’s the difference? Why? High Growth, less developed, Low standard of living Wide = High BR Slow growth, developed/developing Stable, low growth, high standard of living Draw these basic shapes and add the notes on the bottom

The following slides are more examples of population pyramids. You don’t need to copy them down.

Write this down!! Draw This

Now lets discuss…. Stage 1 of the demographic transition model: no existing country today Stage 2: (write down what you predict) Birth rate Death rate »Population growth Stage 3 (write down what you predict) Birth rate »Death rate »Population growth Stage 4 Birth rate (write down what you predict) »Death rate »Population growth

Don’t copy this down
