1 Miller – Living in the Environment 13 th Ed. 12 The Human Population: Growth, Demography, and Carrying Capacity

2 Factors Affecting Human Population Size BirthsBirths DeathsDeaths MigrationMigration EmigrationEmigration Population Change = (births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)

3 Crude Birth Rate (CBR) –number of live births per 1000 people in a population in a given year Crude Death Rate (CDR) –Number of deaths per 1000 people in a population in a given year

6 Rate of the World’s Annual Population Change Annual rate of natural population = change (%) Birth rate – Death rate 1000 X 100 Birth rate – Death rate 10 = Annual rate of natural population = change (%)

26 Useful indicators of health Life expectancyLife expectancy –Average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live Infant mortality rateInfant mortality rate –The number of babies out of every 1000 born who die before their first birthday

27 Global life expectancy Good newsGood news –Increased from 48 to 67 years in developing countries from 1955 to 2002 –Increased from 48 to 76 years in developed countries during same period Bad newsBad news –Life expectancy in poorest countries is 55 years or less

28 Because it reflects the general level of nutrition and health care, infant mortality probably is the single most important measure of a societies quality of life.Because it reflects the general level of nutrition and health care, infant mortality probably is the single most important measure of a societies quality of life.

33 Age Structure Describes how a population’s members are distributed across age ranges Usually 5-yr excrements Age structure diagram = visual representation of age structure for males and females Used to predict how rapidly a population will increase and what its size will be in the future

34 Shaped like a cupcake Typical of developing countries, such as Venezuela and India Wide base indicates that the population will grow because a large # of females from 0-15 have yet to bear children.

44 There are 6.9 billion people. How much is a billion? –If you were 1 billion seconds old, you’d be 31.7 years of age –You’d have to circle the earth 40,000 times to travel 1 billion miles –There are 44 million words in the Encyclopedia Britannica. You would need more than 136 full sets of the Encyclopedia to get 6 billion words

47 Death rates have decreased in developed countries Improving nutrition and living standards (not modern medicine) As population gets older, the cause of death transitions from infectious diseases to chronic diseases such as heart attack and stroke Japan!

48 Less developed countries have significantly younger populations (high birth rates) Improvements in infant mortality. Contributes to population momentum Teen childbearing: linked to education, age of marriage, and economic status

49 Moving to cities where it is more economically secure Half of the world is urbanized World’s largest cities are getting larger –1960: London, Tokyo, New York –1995: Tokyo, Sao Paolo (Brazil), Mexico City –2015: Lagos (Nigeria), Bombay (India), Tokyo

50 Family Planning Programs which provide educational and clinical services that help couples choose how many children to have and when. –Birth spacing –Birth control –Health care

51 Condom 5% Female sterilization 17% IUD 12% Other methods 10% Pill 8% Male sterilization 5% No method 43% Estimated global use of contraceptives

52 Life expectancy , Jobs , Literacy rates , enrollment in secondary school  Women are the key to the family! “Reproductive revolution” –Family planning! –Saves lives of mothers and children Work –Less official jobs (more work @ home) –Get paid ¾ of male salary Connected to family India!

54 Demographic Transition 1. Preindustrial stage: tough life. high birth rate, high death rate

55 Demographic Transition 2. Transitional stage: industrialization begins, food production rises, health care improves, death rate drops but birth rates stay high

56 Demographic Transition 3. Industrial stage: birth rate drops & starts to match death rates. Pop growth depends on economics. (most developed countries are here)

57 Demographic Transition 4. Postindustrial stage: birth rate = death rate (zpg). 38 countries, most in Europe about 13% of the world’s pop in this stage

58 BIRTH RATES Birth Rates Go Up when…  Children in workforce  Availability of roofies.  Religious beliefs, traditions and cultural norms Birth Rates Go Down when…  Urbanization  Cost of raising & educating kids  Educational and employment opportunities for women  Infant mortality rate  Avg age of marriage  Availability of pension  Availability of legal abortions  Availability of reliable birth control methods  Syphilis rates are high

59 Death Rates Decreased death rate: –Increased food supplies & distribution –Better nutrition –Improvements in medical & public health technology (immunizations & antibiotics) –Improved sanitation & personal hygiene –Safer water supplies (less infectious diseases) Healthy country: –Life expectancy =  –Infant mortality rate = 

60 SLOWING POPULATION GROWTH IN INDIA AND CHINA For more than five decades, India has tried to control its population growth with only modest success. Since 1970, China has used a government-enforced program to cut its birth rate in half and sharply reduce its fertility rate.

62 India’s Failed Family Planning Program Poor planning. Bureaucratic inefficiency. Low status of women. Extreme poverty. Lack of administrative financial support. Disagreement over the best ways to slow population growth.

63 China’s Family Planning Program Currently, China’s TFR is 1.6 children per women. China has moved 300 million people out of poverty. Problems: –Strong male preference leads to gender imbalance. –Average population age is increasing. –Not enough resource to support population.

64 Water –Demand exceeds supply –Mainly used for agriculture –Water quality affects availability of safe water Forests –Valuable for indigenous cultures, ecosystem services, etc… threatened by development Energy –Developed countries use more energy (proportionally) –Need to import it!
