1 Review Describe the general trends of human population growth
over time 2 Review why do populations in different countries grow
at different rates Form an Opinion Are age structures diagrams
useful in predicting future population trends 3 Visual Thinking
Describe the changes in human population predicted by the graph on
pg 119. How do you think those changes will affect society.
Slide 2
CH 5 POPULATIONS 5.3 Human Population Growth
Slide 3
How quickly is the global human population growing Worldwide,
there are more than four human births every second What does human
population growth mean for us and our interactions with the rest of
the biosphere.
Slide 4
Historical Overview Population grew very slowly Food shortages
High predation and diseases Harsh life Very high birth rate.
Slide 5
Exponential Human Population Growth Improved nutrition,
sanitation, medicine, and healthcare, dramatically reduced death
rates, industrial revolution Easier life Birth rates stayed
high.
Slide 6
Thomas Malthus Thought that human populations would be
regulated by competition (war), limiting resources (famine),
parasitism (disease), and other density-dependent factors Thought
human growth rate would grow faster than the increase of food
production.
Slide 7
Exponential growth continued up to the second half of the
twentieth century, reaching a peak around 19621963, and then it
began to drop Still increasing but at a lower rate.
Slide 8
Patterns of Human Population Growth Affected by social and
economic factors Birthrates, death rates, and the age structure of
a population play a role Demography Scientific study of human
populations Demographic transition Dramatic change from high
birthrates and death rates to low birthrates and death rates.
Slide 9
Demographic Transition Stage 1 Birthrates and death rates are
high.
Slide 10
Demographic Transition Stage 2 Advances in nutrition,
sanitation, and medicine lead to lower death rates.
Slide 11
Demographic Transition Stage 3 Higher level of education and
living standards, families have fewer children and the birthrate
falls.
