3. Test Re-take tomorrow morning
Just making sure we are on the same page:
1.) You attended last week’s SST with Mr. Milewski and signed in with him.
2.) You are to Mr. Milewski’s classroom tomorrow by 7:41am with your guided readings 100% done.
If you answer yes to both questions 1&2 you will be able to take the Chapter#1 retake.
If you answer no to one or both of the questions, you will not be allowed to take the retake.

4. Population Pyramids –
Charts that show the percentages of each age group in the total population, divided by gender.
For poorer countries, the chart is shaped like a pyramid. Infant mortality rates are high, life expectancy is shorter.

5. Population Pyramids-display a country’s population in a bar graph form.
Each 5 year group with the youngest 0-4 years old at the base of the pyramid are called cohorts.
Males are shown on the left side and females are shown on the right.
A wide-based pyramid indicates a country in Stage 2 of the Demographic transition.

6. Population Pyramids
Charts that show the percentages of each age group in the total population, divided by gender.
For wealthier countries, the chart is shaped like a lopsided vase. Population is aging, TFRs are declining.

7. United States 2010

8. Four Patterns of Population Structure
Kenya will face many employment problems when the bottom cohort is old enough to work.
Austria’s negative growth means a future with fewer workers to support social services.
Russia’s 1992 pyramid shows the sharp decline in births during WW II as the “pinching” of cohort. Also note the large deficits of men above 65 due to the heavy male mortality during the World Wars
Four Patterns of Population Structure
Each nation faces different problems due to a large base with many young or negative growth.

9. U.S. Baby Boom

10. Russia’s Population

11. Russia’s Population

12. In poorer countries, Infant Mortality Rates are usually high, which is reflected in the pyramid shape.

13. In poorer countries, Life Expectancy is usually shorter, which is also reflected in the pyramid shape.

14. Affect of AIDS on population pyramid for South Africa.
Predicted population for 2035, without and with AIDS.
With AIDS, looks like a population “chimney.”

15. AIDS is leaving large numbers of AIDS orphans.

16. 1995 Population Pyramids reflect the economic prosperity of Western Europe and the less developed countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. In the mid-1990s almost 50% of Africa’s population was under 15 years of age.
By contrast the number of people 65 and older in Western Europe is 5 times that of sub-Saharan Africa.

17. Age Structure of a Population
The populations of many countries are aging.
- eg. Europe
- eg. Japan
Bordeaux, France

18. U.N. Millennium Goals

19. Exit Question#11
11.) Why will the death rate of the United States begin to climb in the coming years? (looking for you to cite the reason based on the population chart for the U.S.)

OBJECTIVE: Examine population policies. APHugII-B.2,3&5
Language objective: Write about population.
Daily opener#11: Examine the World Infant mortality rate on p What is the rate the U.S. , Mexico, Kenya, Chad, N. Korea, S. Korea, China, India, Russia, and Japan. Now look at p Which U.S. States had the highest infant mortality rates?

22. U.N. Millennium Goals

23. Population Policies
Under Mao, China refused to cooperate in pop. Control-viewed it as a “capitalist plot”
Soviets in 1970s promoted population growth due to the loss of 26 million in WWII, Stalin exterminated another 30 million farmers, political opponents, etc.-gave awards for women with 10 or more kids.
US Reagan, a conservative, refused to support family planning
If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.

24. Population Policies
Expansive Policies or Pro-Natalist policies encourage large families e.g. Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union & Ceausescu’s Romania & Mao’s China.
Eugenic Population Policy-Nazi Germany favored “Aryans” over mentally ill or other undesirables.
The Nazis tried to breed the super race of Nordic or Aryan types.
Eugenics-science devoted to improving the human race through heredity=control who mates with who.
An SS banner flies over a lebensborn where babies born of good German girls and SS officers were cared for.

25. Population Policies
Restrictive or Anti-Natalist Policies discourage births.
Policies vary- e.g. despite Vatican policies, most Catholic Italians practice artificial birth control-Philippines (only Asian Catholic country) a different case-govt. restricts birth control.
Some countries have learned that industrialization & urbanization do as much as government policy in controlling births.

26. Geography of Demography
Mao Zedong encouraged population growth-after his death Deng Xiaoping called for control.
1979 launched the One Child Policy with goal of stabilizing at 1.2 billion by end of 20th cent.
1970s growth rate 2.4%
1985 growth rate 1.1%
After 1982 more serious enforcement-mandatory contraception after 1st child.
If a 2nd child was born-parents were sterilized.

27. China’s One Child Policy
What are some of the limitations, unintended consequences, and contradictions found in government policies toward population growth?

28. China’s aggressive policy enforcement of the One couple, one child” is displayed on this billboard.
Violators are subject to heavy fines, loss of job, loss of access to better housing and other penalties.

29. Geography of Demography
Recognized minorities (3%) of pop. were exempt
Many rural Chinese defied rule, hid pregnant women, failed to register births, prevented inspectors from visiting rural villages.
Government took drastic action:
Violators were fired
Land was confiscated
Lost all benefits
Pregnant women were arrested & forced to have abortions
Harbin Hospital nurse checks newborns.
In some areas a second or third child resulted in 10% reduction in income until kid is 14 yrs old.

30. Geography of Demography
First 6 years 70 million abortions
1980s about 20 million sterilizations a year-3X as many women as men.
Party Members were birth control police-got cash and promotion for enforcing the laws.
1984 One Child Policy was relaxed in the countryside-a couple with a daughter-2nd child after 4 years.

31. Geography of Demography
Corruption a major problem-permitted to evade rule-bribe.
Fertility rates are rising as the rules are relaxed.
One Child Policy was practical-but rural tradition opposed the rule.
Drive for Zero Population Growth eroded the traditions of Chinese society.
Female infanticide a common occurrence.
Bottom Chinese woman recently released from jail for having 2nd child

32. Exit question#12
12.) What is used for payments of debts in many parts of Afghanistan?

35. Population Growth Rate 2013

37. Geography of Demography
China’s One-Child Policy created a generation of 90 million
119 boys for every 100 girls
30 million unmarried men by 2020
45% of Chinese women said they don’t intend to wed.
3/10 families have grandparents living with them
Biggest demographic revolution in history-Number of Elderly is rising-by 2050 about 30% of the population will be over 60-no pensions or social security.

38. Fun Facts
Beijing also enforces a 1 dog per family rule-must be less than 14 inches tall.
China’s only children will have to support two parents and perhaps 4 grandparents.

39. Germany’s population profile is that of a wealthy core country that has passed through the post war baby boom and has a low birthrate. Note the impact of the losses of World War I and World War II.
Population of
Germany, 1989

40. Attendants or “pushers” on the Japan Train system.
Despite having a declining population, Japan has a very high population density.

41. Japan has a problem of an aging population & low birth rates.
Japanese govt. bars immigration of foreign workers-solution automation-but it won’t solve the problem of an aging population.
Singapore imposed a campaign of sterilization & abortion to curb growth-it worked.
Singapore skyline and harbor

42. 85 years and older is the fastest growing group in the US Population
2005 the “old old” topped 5 million

Midwest has a high percentage since the young leave for jobs elsewhere.
Boston and San Francisco have gone grayer as seniors age in place.

43. Low Growth in Denmark
Since the 1970s, with little population growth since then. Its population pyramid shows increasing numbers of elderly and few children.
