Population Density
3
Population Distribution
4
Why do they live in these places? Why do they not live in others?? World physical map
5
World Population Growth Why the HUGE growth in the 20 th century (1900s) You will share your conclusions with the class
6
What is a population pyramid? It is a diagram that gives information about the proportion of males and females in each age group. Also shows: - proportion of young people (0 -14 ) - proportion of working people (15 – 59) - proportion of elderly people (60+)
7
What is a population pyramid? Vertical Axis - Age Groups Horizontal Axis – Percentage / number Young dependents Working population Elderly dependents
8
How to read a population pyramid? Read the title e.g. country or city or racial group Comment on general shape of the pyramid Note the proportion of people in various age groups Note the sex ratio Interpret the data
9
Types of Population Pyramid 1. Triangular-shaped 2. Beehive-shaped Pyramid 3. Rectangular-shaped Pyramid Shape of pyramids is controlled by –births, –deaths, & –migrations.
10
Triangular-shaped Pyramid (Broad-based Pyramid)
11
Broad-based Pyramid Title: India, 2000 Shape: Broad Base - high birth rates Narrow Top - small elderly pop - high death rate Proportion: - Large proportion of young - high young dependency ratio Sex Ratio: Balance pyramid - Balance sex ratio
12
Indonesia 2000 Malaysia 2000
13
Beehive-shaped Pyramid
14
Title: Singapore, 2000 Shape: Rocket-shaped / Narrow Base – Low Birth Rates, Slow pop growth Proportion: Large proportion of working population, 15-59 yr old - large group of economically active pop Sex Ratio: Balanced pyramid
15
Hong Kong 2000 Taiwan 2000
16
Rectangular-shaped Pyramid
17
Rectangular Pyramid Title: Netherlands, 2000 Shape: Rectangular-shaped - Zero Pop Growth Narrow Base - Low Birth Rates - Life-expectancy is high e.g. 80+ - Low death rates Proportion: Bars of equal length - Balance Proportion Sex Ratio: Balance pyramid - Balance Sex Ratio

Population Pyramids in Transition
20
Each pyramid tells a story about the past, present & future of a country & its people.
21
Importance of Population Pyramids Policy Planning ~ future housing estates ~ future schools ~ future jobs Comparison with other countries ~ developed (US) vs developing (India)
22
Levels of Development More Developed – GDP per capita of $25,000 or more – Literacy rate at/near 99% – Technology – Industrialized – Varied distribution of labor – Large Urban population – High life expectancy (above 76) Less Developed – Low life expectancy – Less than $8,000 GDP per capita – Large rural population – High infant mortality rate – High birth rate Newly Industrialized – $9000-24,000 GDP per capita – Growing urban population – Growing technology
