Chapter 9 Applying Population Ecology: The Human Population and Its Impact

Is the World Overpopulated? Much of the world’s population growth occurs in developing countries like China and India. The world’s population is projected to increase from 6.6 billion to 8.9 billion between 2006 and Figure 9-1

HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH: A BRIEF HISTORY The human population has grown rapidly because of the expansion of agriculture and industrial production and lower death rates from improvements in hygiene and medicine. –In 2006, the population of developed countries grew exponentially at 0.1% per year. –Developing countries grew (15 times faster at 1.5% per year.

Demographic Facts: The nations that will experience the most growth over the next 50 years, in order: 1.India 2.China 3.Pakistan 4.Nigeria 5.Bangladesh 6.Indonesia 5 most populated countries, in order: (2004) 1.China 2.India 3.U.S. 4.Indonesia 5.Brazil

Where Are We Headed? U.N. world population projection based on women having an average of 2.5 (high), 2.0 (medium), or 1.5 (low) children. Figure 9-2

Declining Fertility Rates: Fewer Babies per Woman The average number of children that a woman bears has dropped sharply. This decline is not low enough to stabilize the world’s population in the near future. –Replacement-level fertility: the number of children a couple must bear to replace themselves. –Total fertility rate (TFR): the average number of children a woman has during her reproductive years.

Fertility Rates The replacement level to sustain a population is 2.1 children. In 2006, the average global Total Fertility Rate was 2.7 children per woman. –1.6 in developed countries (down from 2.5 in 1950). –3.0 in developing countries (down from 6.5 in 1950).

Fertility and Birth Rates in U.S. Nearly 2.9 million people were added to the U.S. in 2006: –59% occurred because of births outnumbering deaths. –41% came from illegal and legal immigration. –total fertility rate in the United States was slightly > 2.0

Fertility and Birth Rates in U.S. The baby bust that followed the baby boom was largely due to delayed marriage, contraception, and abortion. Figure 9-6

Fig. 9-7, p years Homicides per 100,000 people Hourly manufacturing job wage (adjusted for inflation) Living in suburbs Homes with electricity Homes with flush toilets High school graduates Married women working outside the home Life expectancy $15 $3 52% 10% 99% 2% 98% 10% 83% 15% 81% % 77 years 1900 vs. 2000

Factors Affecting Birth Rates and Fertility Rates The number of children women have is affected by: –1) The cost of raising and educating them. –2) Availability of pensions. –3) Urbanization. –4) Education and employment opportunities (the importance of child and/or woman as part of labor force). –5) Infant deaths. –6) Marriage age. –7) Availability of contraception and abortion.

Factors Affecting Death Rates Death rates have declined because of: –1) Increased food supplies, better nutrition. –2) Advances in medicine. –3) Improved sanitation and personal hygiene. –4) Safer water supplies. U.S. infant mortality is higher than it could be (ranked 46 th world-wide) due to: –1) Inadequate pre- and post-natal care for poor. –2) Drug addiction. –3) High teenage birth rate.

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE Populations with a large proportion of its people in the preproductive ages (1-14) have a large potential for rapid population growth. Figure 9-9

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE 32% of the people in developing countries were under 15 years old in 2006 versus only 17% in developed countries. Figure 9-10

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE Today, baby boomers make up nearly half of all adult Americans and dominate the populations demand for goods and services. Figure 9-11

INFLUENCING POPULATION SIZE Demographic Transition: As countries become economically developed, their birth and death rates tend to decline. –Preindustrial stage: little population growth due to high infant mortality. –Transitional stage: industrialization begins, death rates drops and birth rates remain high. –Industrial stage: birth rate drops and approaches death rate. –Post-industrial stage: birth rates continue to drop – may enter negative population growth

Demographic Transition Model 2 Transitional 1 Preindustrial 3 Industrial 4 Post- industrial

SOLUTIONS: INFLUENCING POPULATION SIZE Women tend to have fewer children if they are: –Educated. –Hold a paying job outside the home. –Do not have their human rights suppressed. The best way to slow population growth is a combination of: –Investing in family planning. –Reducing poverty. –Elevating the status of women.

GROWTH IN INDIA AND CHINA For more than five decades, India has tried to control its population growth with only modest success. Since 1970, China has used a government- enforced program to cut its birth rate in half and sharply reduce its fertility rate.

Fig. 9-15, p. 186 Total fertility rate Percentage of world population Population Population (2050) (estimated) Illiteracy (% of adults) Population under age 15 (%) Population growth rate (%) 17% 20% 1.1 billion 1.3 billion 1.6 billion India China GDP PPP per capita Percentage living below $2 per day Life expectancy 47% 17% 36% 20% 1.6% 0.6% 1.4 billion $5,890 $3, years 62 years children per women (down from 5.7 in 1972) Infant mortality rate 2.9 children per women (down from 5.3 in 1970)

India’s Failed Family Planning Program Poor planning. Bureaucratic inefficiency. Low status of women. Extreme poverty. Lack of administrative financial support. Disagreement over the best ways to slow population growth.

China’s Family Planning Program Currently, China’s TFR is 1.6 children per women. China has moved 300 million people out of poverty. Economic incentives, free medical care, & preferential treatment has helped. Problems: –Strong male preference leads to gender imbalance. –Average population age is increasing.
