1 Demography Composition Distribution Causes and consequences of change

2 Population Change (Births + Immigration) – (Deaths + emigration) Crude birth rate= births / 1000 Crude death rate = Deaths/ 1000 There are more births than deaths world wide

3 Stats Annual population growth dropped by almost half from 1963-2004 2.2%-1.2% Population base during same time doubled from 3.2-6.4billion What is a billion anyway? Developed countries growing at 0.25% and developing at 1.46% Don’t forget the rule of 70!!

5 Worlds Share China and India comprise 38% of the worlds population 3 rd US 4.6%

6 Fertility Replacement level= fertility number of children needed to replace parents 2.1 Total Fertility= number of children a woman will have on average during her life Projections show there will be 7.2 – 10.6 billion people by 2050 97% of them will be in developing countries Acute poverty way of life for 1.4 billion people

7 US Population growth Baby Boom TFR was 3.7 2.7 million people added to US pop. In 2004 55% due to lower death rates than birth rates 45% from immigration Don’t forget US per person impact on the environment much higher than the rest of the world

8 Factors Which influence Fertility Rates Children as labor Urbanization Cost of raising and educating Education and Employment for women Infant Mortality (die in first year) Average age at marriage More?

9 Measures of Population Health Life Expectancy Infant Mortality (Best) –US is higher than 37 other countries –3 reasons Why?

10 Immigration Limit –Stabilize population sooner –Reduce environmental impact Don’t limit –History –“Do work Americans won’t do” –Contribution to economy –Cultural diversity

11 Age Structure Diagrams Prereproductive Reproductive Post reproductive % of people under 15 major indicator of population growth ***2004 30% of the population is under 15

21 Growth and Decline Rapid growth adds stress –Increased use of resources Rapid declines also add stress –Labor shortages –Fewer working tax payers –Labor shortage –Public service costs

22 HIV Aids Decreasing populations and threatening economic structure Life expectancy drops Lost generation

23 How can you influence population growth? More people the more problem solvers?? Religious beliefs The world is already overpopulated –1 of 6 world wide are in need –Increases environmental harm –Solutions need to limit everyone

24

25 Danger of Transitions Step 2 is not good except that it is on the way to the other steps –Shortage of skilled workers –Lack capital Micro- loans

26 The Demographic Transition Low High Relative population size Birth rate and death rate (number per 1,000 per year) Birth rate and death rate (number per 1,000 per year) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 Stage 1 Preindustrial Stage 1 Preindustrial Stage 2 Transindustrial Stage 2 Transindustrial Stage 3 Industrial Stage 3 Industrial Stage 4 Postindustrial Stage 4 Postindustrial Low growth rate Low growth rate Increasing Growth growth rate Increasing Growth growth rate Very high growth rate Very high growth rate Decreasing growth rate Decreasing growth rate Low growth rate Low growth rate Zero growth rate Zero growth rate Negative growth rate Negative growth rate Birth rate Total population Death rate Time Fig. 10-20 p. 189

27 Family Planning Provide information –Spacing of children and what things effect this –Birth control –Healthcare Responsible for drop in TFR by 55% in developing countries Reduces legal and illegal abortions Contraceptives (Thailand) Target teenagers unmarried, sexually active women Teaching men Birth control for men Women want to limit their pregnancies but have not the means

28 Abortion One half of pregnancies in developing countries are unplanned (Mr. Bair was too) 26% of them end in abortion Over half of world wide abortions are illegal Guttmacher Institute

29 Giving Women Power Allow them to make choices about their pregnancy future with contraception Allow them to make career decisions Pay them equally Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation –Where do you put money? Microbicides, Drugs, Education, Jobs…..

30 Recap How do we limit population growth –Invest in family planning –Reduce poverty –Elevate status of women

31 India Trying to limit population because of population problems >50% unemployment 2/3 of water polluted ½ of cropland eroded Why unsuccessful –Want male children (don’t use BC)(Pop-Pop and Grammy) –Poor need children to help out

32 China Cut birth rate in half from 74-04 –Families with one child get… More food Bigger pension Better housing Bonuses Free education Better jobs –Contraception free from government –One Child Policy ChangingOne Child Policy Changing

33 Slowing Global Growth Goals of UN conference on population and development Limit population to 7.8 billion by 2050 –Healthcare –National policies –Education –Job opportunities –Increase involvement of men –Reduce poverty –Reduce patterns of production and consumption

36 Rule of 70 70/ rate of growth = doubling time Human population growth rate =1.3% Population in 1990 –5,290,452,000 Population Today –6,798,855,604
