What do you think the top 10 most populated countries are?

RANKCOUNTRY OR AREAPOPULATION 1China1,351,000,000 2India1,237,000,000 3United States 316,000,000 4Indonesia 245,613,043 5Brazil 203,429,773 6Pakistan 187,342,721 7Bangladesh 158,570,535 8Nigeria 155,215,573 9Russia 138,739,892 10Japan 126,475,664

Rapid Growth: Guatemala, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia Slow Growth: U.S., Australia, China Stable: Italy, Greece Declining: Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Japan ** In 2050, expected to have somewhere between 7.8-10.7 billion people
11
Developing countries are growing much faster than developed countries Some countries more dense than others
13
Carrying Capacity hotly debated, some say we’ve reached it, and we are in a reproductive time lag. Some say we still have some room to grow. Some say it is limitless. CARRYING CAPACITY (c.c.) Maximum c.c. of humans on Earth 9-10 billion Doubling time 42-50 years Using a moderate “business as usual” model with slow, steady growth of economies and populations, U.N. estimates demand will be 2X Earth’s capacity by: 2050
14
The number of births or deaths per 1,000 people per year.
15
Percent annual population growth (r) = (birth rate – death rate) / 10 Doubling Time (in years) = 70 / (r) **** DO NOT CHANGE r into a decimal!!!!!!!
16
The average number of children that couples in a population must bear to replace themselves. 2.1 in developed countries 2.5 in developing countries http://overpopulationisamyth.com/2-point-1- kids-a-stable-population
17
Does reaching replacement-level fertility bring an immediate halt to population growth? If we reached replacement-level fertility rates, population growth would not stop for roughly another 50 years. Can anyone explain this to me?
19
The average number of children born to women in a population during their reproductive years. Good News: TFR has been declining 2008: 2.5 (2.8 in developing, 1.6 developed)
20
Baby boom: 1946-1964 (TFR 3.7) In 2008, TFR was 2.1 (1.9 now) Most TFRs in developed countries are much lower than this (Ex. China is 1.6) Why is this bad news for the environment? Very high per capita resource use in U.S., so not so good when you increase population.
21
1. Importance of children in labor force 2. Cost of raising and educating children 3. Availability of pension 4. Urbanization 5. Infant Mortality Rate 6. Educational and Employment Opportunities for Women 7. Average Age at Marriage 8. Availability of Abortions and Birth Control 9. Morals
22
Higher in developing countries
23
Cost higher in developed countries so they have lower birth rates $290,000 in U.S.
24
Good pension systems reduce the need to have children
25
Urban areas have better access to family planning services and tend to have fewer children. Rural areas require more children to work in the fields
26
Better educated women get married later and have fewer children
27
Infant Mortality Rate: the number of children per 1,000 live births who die before one year of age. Places with lower IMR, fewer children
28
Women who have their first child after age 25, tend to have fewer children
29
Legal abortions and more access to birth control decrease the number of children one has
30
Religious beliefs, traditions, and cultural norms
31
Two useful indicators: 1. Life expectancy (LE) 2. Infant mortality rate Life Expectancy: the average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live
32
78 years (2008) Lack of health care insurance Obesity
33
6.6 (2008) Inadequate health care for poor women Drug addiction High birth rate among teenagers
34
Blue = prereproductive Green= reproductive Pink= postreproductive
36
Nearly 28% of the people on the planet were under 15 years old in 2008. Soon they will be moving into their reproductive years You know what that means…
37
Population growth much higher in developing nations Most of the world’s population growth in the future will come from developing nations.
39
Occurs when countries become industrialized. 1) Death rates decline 2) Birth rates decline Takes place in 4 stages
40
Population grows very slowly because of a high birth rate and a high death rate. Ex) Sub-Saharan Africa (not including SA)
42
Population grows rapidly because birth rates are high and death rates drop because of improved food production and health Ex) Yemen, Afghanistan, Bhutan
44
Population growth slows as both birth and death rates drop because of improved food production, health, and education. Ex) Mexico,Jamaica, Costa Rica
46
Population growth levels off and then declines as birth rates equal and then fall below death rates. Ex) US, South Korea, China, Canada, Europe
48
1) Family Planning 2) Reduce Poverty 3) Empower Women
49
How many children to have and when to have them. Information of birth spacing, birth control, and health care. Very effective. Why is it so effective? Knowledge and contraceptives!
50
Responsible for at least 55% of the drop in total fertility rates in developing countries Ex) Thailand used family planning to cut its annual population growth rate from 3.2% to 0.5%.
51
1. Unplanned births still very high 2. Cannot get access to family planning even if they want it
52
United Nations held conference on population in Egypt. Stabilize the world’s population at 7.8 billion by 2050 instead of the projected 9.2 billion.
53
Women who… Are Educated Hold a job Live where women’s rights are not suppressed …Have fewer children
54
Women account for 2/3 of all hours worked, but receive only 10% of the world’s income and own less than 2% of the world’s land. 900 million girls do not attend elementary school Women who cannot read: 5-7 children Women who can read: 2 or fewer children
55
China India
56
Baby boomers make up half of all adult Americans They have control! The dominate demands for goods and services, important roles in deciding who gets elected, and what laws are passed. But soon they will be getting old……. and they may drain our social security benefits.
57
If decline happens too quickly, you will not have a workforce to support your elders Ex) Japan: has the world’s highest proportion of elderly people and the lowest proportion of young people.
