Human Population Growth Continues but It Is Unevenly Distributed (1) Reasons for human population increase Movement into new habitats and climate zones Early and modern agriculture methods Control of infectious diseases through Sanitation systems Antibiotics Vaccines (Small pox virus)

Amniocentesis
17
Consider this In 1905 the three leading causes of death in the United States were pneumonia, tuberculosis and diarrhea. 90% of US doctors had NO college education Cocaine was sold over the counter until 1914 X rays were first discovered 1899
18
Some Major Changes That Took Place in the U.S. between 1900 and 2000
19

21
Science Focus: How Long Can the Human Population Keep Growing? Thomas Malthus and population growth: 1798 Humans have altered 83% of the earth’s land surface Can the human population grow indefinitely?
22
The Human Population Can Grow, Decline, or Remain Fairly Stable Population change Births or (natality): fertility Deaths: mortality Migration Population change = (births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration) Crude birth rate- the number of live births/1000 in a given year. Crude death rate- the number of deaths per 1000 in a given year
23
Several Factors Affect Death Rates (1) Life expectancy-average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live. Infant mortality rate – the number of babies out of every 1000 that die before their first birthday
24
Women Having Fewer Babies but Not Few Enough to Stabilize the World’s Population Fertility rate Replacement-level fertility rate- the number of children a couple must bear to replace themselves. Du huh??????? Total fertility rate (TFR)- the number of children a woman has during her reproductive years World wide in 1950-6.5 2001-2.5
25
Birth Rates in the U.S. from 1910 to 2008

6-3 How Does a Population’s Age Structure Affect Its Growth or Decline? Concept 6-3 The numbers of males and females in young, middle, and older age groups determine how fast a population grows or declines.
44
Populations Made Up Mostly of Young People Can Grow Rapidly Age structure categories Prereproductive ages Reproductive ages Postreproductive ages

55
A population of pansies increases by 12% every year. Calculate the doubling time for this population.
56
As of 1995, the human population was expected to double within 50 years. Calculate (r) or the percent rate of change for the population.
57
In your research of the dynamics of June beetles count the population size at 1000. Over the course of a month you record 40 births and 20 deaths. What is the % rate (r) increase in the population.
58
Solutions for reducing human population growth
59
r Increased improved family planning. RESULT: fewer pregnancies/control of fertility/ choice in the number of children born.
60
Increased education and improved social status of women. RESULT: Delay having children and choosing to have fewer children.
61
More women enter the workforce. RESULT: delay having children.
62
Reduced need for children in the workforce such as agriculture (farming) RESULT: Increase urbanization and more industrialization.
63
Human activities are having an impact on the Earth’s biodiversity. Deforestation for farming, housing, fuel, mining RESULTS in destruction of habitats and reduced biodiversity, Fossil-fuel burning releases carbon dioxide. RESULTS: altering global temperature and precipitation patterns Diversion of water for irrigation, municipal and industrial use. RESULT: reduces water supply for freshwater organisms. Pollution: _______________ RESULT can have have a – impact on biodiversity.
65
6-4 How Can We Slow Human Population Growth? Concept 6-4 Experience indicates that the most effective ways to slow human population growth are to encourage family planning, to reduce poverty, and to elevate the status of women.
66
Women from a Village in Burkina Faso Returning with Fuelwood
67
As Countries Develop, Their Populations Tend to Grow More Slowly Demographic transition stages Preindustrial Transitional May lead to a demographic trap Industrial Postindustrial
68
Four Stages of the Demographic Transition
69
Planning for Babies Works Family Planning Responsible for a 55% drop in TFRs In developing countries Expansion of program Include teenagers, sexually active unmarried women, and men Slow and stabilize population growth Invest in family planning Reduce poverty Elevate the social and economic status of women
70
Empowering Women Can Slow Population Growth Education Paying jobs Human rights without suppression “For poor women the only holiday is when you are asleep”
71
Case Study: Slowing Population Growth in China: the One-Child Policy Encourages fewer children Gender imbalance Fast-growing economy Face serious resource and environmental problems
