1. Introduction to Population

2. ‘World Population’ page 32-33 of Atlas
What kind of projection is the map? (check out Greenland vs Africa)
What is population density?
When did the worlds population start to increase dramatically?
How big does the UN predict the world’s population will be by 2050?
In what areas of the world are large populations clustered together?

3. World Population Density

4. Overpopulation: Not enough resources for the inhabitants in an area.
Leads to famine, water and electricity shortages, increased unemployment.
Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and parts of China, Brazil and India
All suffer from localized famines, natural hazards (drought/flood)
Low incomes, poverty, poor living conditions & high levels of emigration

6. Under population: more resources than inhabitants in an area.
​Surplus in food and water results in waste
Schools and hospitals don’t have enough demand to run at a sustainable level.
Thus, cost per capita for the service increases.
Less "working population" hurts countries economy and leads to an increase in taxation.
Eg- Canada and Australia  

8. Optimum population is when there is enough resources for the number of inhabitants (population demand for goods is equal to the supply).
Influenced by: A. Developments in technology B. Demographic structure changes C. Trade opportunities develop/falter D. New raw materials are discovered E. Value of old materials changes over time
