Women’s rights
Birth control
Infant mortality rate
Child labour
Culture

5. Fertility Rate
Total Fertility Rate The average number of children a women will have in her life

7. Death Rate
number of deaths per 1,000 of the population per year

9. Factors Effecting Death Rate
Infant mortality rate
Medical improvements
Food distribution
Life expectancy
Food production

10. Natural Increase Birth Rates – Death Rates
Large natural increase – rapid population growth
Small natural increase – slow population growth

11. Annually, global population is growing by some 88 million, although the rate of growth is now declining.
These changes have been due to gains in wellbeing.
Improvements in food production, education, medicine and hygiene have resulted in rapidly decreasing death rates, especially in infants and young children, and increased life expectancy.
The demographic transition model attempts to explain changes in population growth by examining the interconnection between population characteristics and changes in wellbeing.

12. What is the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
A graph attempting to explain how a country’s population characteristics change as the level of wellbeing in a country improves over time.
To generalise, the more developed countries of the world tend to have lower birth and death rates and therefore lower population growth, while developing nations experience higher rates of births and deaths and higher growth.
