2 This tells us how many people are living in a particular area. It is usually measured by the average number of people for each square kilometre of space. Population Density = Population (people) Area (km 2 )

3 Population Pyramids in Transition What population pyramids tell us Base – Birth rate Top – Death rate (life expectancy) Shape – Population growth Migration/Immigration Rapid growth = Developing Countries Slow, Zero or Negative = Developed Countries

4 Quality of Life Clean Drinking Water Abundant Food Comfortable Housing Full-time Employment Life Expectancy – The number of years a person is expected to live under the current conditions. Literacy Rate – This is a measure of the population over the age of 15 that can read and write. Per Capita Income – the average amount of money earned by each person in a country for one year. › Per capita income is calculated by dividing all the money earned in a country in a year by the number of people living in that country.

5 Developing Country  Developing Country : Usually refers to countries with low levels of ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A country that has not reached the Western-style standards of democratic governments, free market economies, industrialization, social programs, and human rights guarantees fort heir citizens. A developing country has most of it’s workforces in the Primary industry, meaning there is a lot of focus on gathering and processing raw materials, and not as much on providing and consuming goods and services Little industry, low standard of living, and low income -BUT- High population

6 Developed Country  Developed Country : Usually refers to countries with high levels of ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A country with most of its workforce in a Tertiary or Quaternary industry, meaning there is a lot of focus on providing and consuming goods and services, and not as much on gathering and processing raw materials. Large industry, Better standard of living, and better income -BUT- Lower population

7 Determining Development 1. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) 2. Life Expectancy 3. Literacy Rate 4. Education 5. Healthcare System

8 The Four MAJOR SECTORS 1) Primary Industries 2) Secondary Industries 3) Tertiary Industries 4) Information Economy (Quaternary)

9 Primary Industry  The primary sector of industry takes natural resources from the environment, and makes them into semi-finished products them.  Most products from this sector are considered raw materials for other industries.  Major businesses in this sector include agriculture, agribusiness, fishing, forestry and all mining and quarrying industries.

10 Secondary Industries  The secondary sector of industry takes the output of the primary industries and manufactures finished goods suitable for use by other businesses, for export, or sale to domestic consumers.  Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and machinery to convert the raw materials into goods and products.  They also produce waste materials and waste heat that may pose environment problems or cause pollutions.

11 Tertiary Industries  This sectors involves providing services to business as well as final consumer.  This includes a wide range of businesses Including: ○ distribution and sales of goods from producer to a consumer (wholesale to retail) ○ providing as service (pest control, haircuts, entertainment), ○ Transports ○ Restaurants.  The focus is on people interacting with people and serving the customer rather than transforming physical goods.  The sectors is better known as the service sector.  People employed in the sector work in jobs like: Sales clerk, Waiters, and Hairdressers

12 Quaternary Industries  It concerns the intellectual service: information generation, information sharing, consultation, education and research and development.  This sector evolves in well developed countries and requires a highly educated workforce.  Knowledge/Well Educated workers, Computer related jobs Internet Webmasters Teachers Engineering Psychologists
