THE PROBLEM:The number of people and the availability of resources.
This is an issue for some regions over others.There are those that argue that the world is not overpopulated.They argue that the problem is poverty= the unequal distributionof wealth- have vs. have nots

GENERAL POPULATION
CHARACTERISTICS 6 billion people in the world and growing.
Second half of 20th century, population increased at a faster
rate than ever before.
Almost all the population growth is in less developed
countries.

Question:- 1
Where is the worlds population distributed?
Concentration and Density, clustered vs. sparse: About ofworlds population live on only 5% of the earths
surface.
Population is mainly clustered in 5 particular regions.
Most people in these regions live near an ocean or river witheasy access to an ocean.

SPARSELY POPULATED AREAS
1. Dry Lands ( areas to dry for farming )
Cover 20% of earths surface Between 15 degrees-50 degrees north latitude, 20 degrees-50
degrees south latitude
Saharan desert and Australian desert
Irrigation is necessary for farming Large oil reserves

Wet Lands ( near equator, 20 degrees north and south
latitudes )
Interior of South America, Central America, Southeast Asia
( 50-90 inches per year ) Rain and heat depletes nutrients from soil hindering
agriculture.
9/5/2013 23IMRAN BASHIR
Cold Lands- ( North and South Poles )
Permafrost, ice packs covering the ground permanently. Extreme colds

Highlands ( high elevation )
Highest mountains are snow covered and steep, sparsely
settled.
Except Mexico City, 7,360 feet Also the Andean highlands which has large pop. Clusters
along the South American rim.
Terrace farming in lower elevations

Question:-2Where has the Worlds Population Increased?
Population increases when there is more births than deaths. Population decreases when deaths exceed births or due to
migration.

Population change is measured in three ways:
1. Crude Birth Rate ( CBR )
2. Crude Death Rate ( CDR )3. Natural Increase Rate ( NIR )
9/5/2013 28IMRAN BASHIR
Crude Birth Rate ( CBR )-
Total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people
alive in a society.
Crude Death Rate ( CDR )-
The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 peoplealive in a society.
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
29/47
Natural Increase Rate ( NIR )-
The % by which a population grows in a year, excluding
igration. NIR= CBR-CDR

21ST Century, NIR IS 1.4
1960=2.2, declined in the 1990s
Small changes in NIR dramatically effect the population size.
With a NIR of 1.4, and 6 billion, it will take 51 years todouble.
Doubling Time- the number of years needed for population todouble

Almost 100% of ( NIR ) are clustered in less
developed countries.
Asia, Africa, and Latin America have an ( NIR ) 2.0 OR HIGHER.
Europe has a negative ( NIR ), but makes up for population with
immigration.

The Demographic Transition (Cycle)9/5/2013 34IMRAN BASHIR

Question:-3
Why is population increasing at different rates?
Demographic Transition- the process of change in a societies
population. There are local variations, and it diffuses to individual countries
at different rates.
There are four stages of Demographic Transition.
There were wide fluctuations due to famine, wars, disease, andnatural disasters.
Agricultural Revolution- the domestication of plants and animals,
provided more stable food sources.
NO PLACE IN THE WORLD STILL IN STAGE 1.
9/5/2013 35IMRAN BASHIR
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
36/47
Stage 1:
Low Growth ( first several hundred thousand years on
earth )
Crude Birth Rates and Death Rates varied considerably, but over
long term they were comparable. Hunting and gathering societies.
NIR- was little to no growth
Between 8000BC and 1750 AD, from 5 million to 800 million.

Stage 2
Stage 2: High Growth ( 1750 10xs faster growth )
CDR plummets, NIR goes up.
In Europe and North America, Stage 2 caused by the IndustrialRevolution. ( began in England )
Technology, mass production and increase in wealth allowedsocieties to improve sanitation, health care, agricultural production,
public works, sewer systems. 1950s Latin America, Asia, and Africa reach stage 2 due to
medical revolution.( penicillin, vaccines )

Stage 3
Stage 3: Moderate Growth
Crude Birth Rate drops dramatically, but population still
grows.
NIR is more modest
Europe and North America reached Stage 3 in early 20th
Century
Most of Asia and Latin America in stage 3
Most of Africa in Stage 2
- The changes in social customs account for the drop in the CBR.
People decide to have fewer children. Children in urban areas
are no longer assets.

7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
39/47
Stage 4
Stage 4: Low Growth
NIR approaches zero, where the CBR=CDR
Zero population growth= total fertility rate that results in a lack of
change in the total population over a long term.
The CBR can be somewhat higher than the CDR due to the death
of females that die during or before childbirth.
TFR of 2.1 equals a zero population growth.
Europe=TFR less than 2.1
USA still in stage 3 due to ethnic diversity, and high birth rates.
Social customs account much for Stage 4. Women in theworkforce, more educated about reproductive rights, changes in
lifestyles, birth control/ contraceptives.
9/5/2013 39IMRAN BASHIR
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
40/47
Stage 1 and 4 are similar, with no Natural Increase, but Stage 1 has high death and high birth rates
Stage 4 has low death and low birth rates and a larger
population.

Demographic Transition (Cycle)Stage 1: High Stationary - high fertility & mortality (little long
term growth)
Stage 2: Early Expandinghigh fertility, declining mortality(increasing growth)
Stage 3: Late Expandingdeclining fertility & mortality
(continuing growth)
Stage 4: Low Stationarylow fertility & mortality (low tostagnant growth)

Question: 4
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population

Question:-4
Why is the study of population growth important?
Thomas Malthus- wrote An Essay on the
Principle of Population.
Said that the population was growing faster than the earths
food supply.
Population increase geometrically while food increasesarithmetically.
9/5/2013 42IMRAN BASHIR
M lth b li d i ti t l t i t l di
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
43/47
Malthus believed societies must use moral restraint unless disease,
famine, or natural disasters keep birth rates low.
Neo-Malthusians- violence will result due to the scarcity of food
and lack of other resources.

MALTHUSS CRITICS
7/30/2019 Chapter 2-The Study of Population
44/47
MALTHUSS CRITICSBoserup- said that with more people, there is more production
and more ideas. Resources are not fixed, but are expanding.
9/5/2013 44IMRAN BASHIR
Food production has increased at a faster rate than Malthuspredicted. There are better growing techniques and higheryielding seeds.
Boserup believed problem must be solved by internationalagencies that work to redistribute wealth and relief ( UN ).
Also showed that population has not increase as fast asMalthus said it would\

Cornucopian Approach- emphasis on science and technology to
solve population problems.
Genetic engineering
Farming of oceans
Technology will educate populations and inevitably lead to
population decrease

POPULATION PYRAMIDS
What they show :
Displayed by age and gender
Shows the percentage of the population in each age group and
the distribution of male and females
The length of the bar represents the percentage of the population
contained in that age group.

The shape is determined by Crude Birth Rates.
Stage 2 has a broad base with dependants
Stage 4 has a rectangular or column like shape with 1/3
dependants.
