Demography
2
What is Demography? The study of human population Birth rate
Death rate Immigration Emigration Population growth rate Natural increase Dependency load migration
3
On an average day in Canada there are….
1050 births per day 690 deaths per day 769 immigrants per day 135 emigrants per day
4
So that means….. …. on an average day there will be 836 more people in Canada at the end of the day than there was at the beginning of it
5
Birth Rate
6
Birth Rate Number of births in a country per 1000 people.
Calculated by dividing the number of births in one year by the population and then multiplying the result by 1000. BR = (# of births/population)*1000
7
Example Births = 390,000 Population = 30,000,000 BR = (390,000/30,000,000)*1000 = 13 births per 1000 people
8
Death Rate
9
Death Rate Number of deaths in a country per 1000 people.
Calculated by dividing the number of deaths in one year by the population and then multiplying the result by 1000. Death Rate = (# of deaths/population)*1000
10
Example Deaths = 120,000 Population = 30,000,000 DR = (120,000/30,000,000)*1000 = 4 deaths per 1000 people
11
Natural Increase Rate
12
Natural Increase Rate = (BR – DR)*100 (expressed as a percent)
Calculated using the birth and death rate. It is the most important reason why a country’s population changes, either increases or decreases. Natural Increase Rate = (BR – DR)*100 (expressed as a percent)
13
Natural Increase Rate = (13/1000-4/1000)*100 = 0.9%
Example BR = 13 per 1000 people DR = 4 per 1000 people Natural Increase Rate = (13/1000-4/1000)*100 = 0.9%
14
Complete Natural Increase Rate section of the Demographics worksheet
Example Place Total Population Births Per Year Births Per 1000 People Deaths Per Year Deaths Per 1000 People Natural Increase Rate Formula TOT BPY BIRTHS= (BPY/TOT)x1000 DPY DEATHS= (DPY/TOT)x1000 (Birth/ 1000 people – Death/ 1000) X 100= EXAMPLE 10,000,000 500,000 50 400,000 40 1% Canada 30,800,000 390,000 13 209,875 7 6% Country with a growing population 4,500,000 75,000 16 50,000 11 5% Country with a disappearing population 5,000,000 78,000 15 80,000 -1%
15
Migration
16
the movement of people from one place to another
Migration the movement of people from one place to another
17
Immigration- occurs when people arrive in a new place.
Types of Migration Immigration- occurs when people arrive in a new place. Emigration-occurs when people leave a place.
18
Net Migration difference of immigrants and emigrants of an area in a period of time, divided per 1,000 inhabitants
19
Complete the Net Migration section on the Demographics Worksheet
Example Place Total Population Immigrants Per Year Immigrants Per 1000 People Emigrants Per Year Emigrants Per 1000 People Net Migration Rate Formula TOT IPY IMMIGRANTS= (IPY/TOT)*1000 EPY EMIGRANTS= (EPY/TOT)*1000 IMMIGRANTS- EMIGRANTS Canada 30,000,000 222,650 7.4 49,275 1.6 5.8 Country with war 100,000,000 1,500 0.015 250,000 2.5 -2.485 Country with a growing economy 45,000,000 350,000 7.7 24,000 .5 7.2
20
Population Growth Rate
21
Population Growth Rate
amount that the population of a place is either increasing or decreasing over time.
22
Population Growth Rate
So for a country’s total growth rate we look at both Natural Increase and Net Migration. Growth Rate= (Natural Increase Rate + Net Migration Rate)
23
Example Natural Increase Rate = 0.9% Net Migration Rate = 0.5% Growth Rate = 0.9% + 0.5% = 1.4%
24
Whether a country’s population is growing or declining has an enormous influence on the lives of the people. If a country’s population is growing you must consider issues with providing enough housing, education, healthcare, employment, etc. If a country’s population is declining there may be a shortage of workers and consumers to meet the needs of the country’s businesses.
25
Doubling Time
26
Doubling Time This tells us how long it will take for a country's current population to double. It is determined by dividing 70 by a country’s Growth Rate.
27
Population Growth Rate: 1.4% Doubling Time = 70 / 1.4 = 50 years
Example Population Growth Rate: 1.4% Doubling Time = 70 / 1.4 = 50 years
28
Other things to look at
29
Total Fertility Rate Is the average number of children a woman is likely to have during her childbearing years. For a population to replace itself at a stable level this rate is 2.1
30
Dependency Ratio The dependency ratio tells you how many economically inactive people (0-15 and 65+) are dependent upon the economically active population (16 to 64). The equation above calculates a figure that shows the number of economically inactive people that are reliant on 100 economically active people.
31
Example A result such as 81.8 would mean that for every 100 economically active people there are 81.8 economically inactive people.
