Rates measuring population growth • Rate Of Natural Increase (RNI) • Annual Growth Rate • Population Doubling Time 2/28/2021 3

Rate Of Natural Increase (RNI) The natural increase in size of any population is the product of subtraction of deaths from births. Rate of natural increase (RNI)% = 2/28/2021 4

Crude Birth Rate (CBR) It is defined as the number of live births per 1000 mid-year population in a given year and locality. =… Live Births/ 1000 population in a year. 2/28/2021 5

Crude Death Rate (CDR) The crude mortality rate is the mortality rate from all causes of death for an entire population. We usually multiply by 1000. = … Deaths/1000 individual in the specified year and locality. 2/28/2021 6

Mid-year population • It is important to use the population size at the midpoint of the time interval as an estimate of the average population at risk especially if: • a denominator population is growing or shrinking during the period of time for which a rate is to be computed. • e. g. If a rate is to be calculated for the year 2000, then the population of July 1, 2000 is used for the denominator. 2/28/2021 7

Example In Saudi Arabia (2006 est. ) Crude Birth rate: 29. 34 births/1, 000 population Crude Death rate: 2. 58 deaths/1, 000 population Calculate RNI? = 29. 34 - 2. 58= 26. 76/1000 = 2. 676% 2/28/2021 8

Annual Growth Rate • The growth rate takes into consideration not only births and deaths but also migration. • Growth rate (GR) = RNI + Net migration rate In Saudi Arabia (2006): Population annual growth rate (%) 2. 4 2/28/2021 9

Population Doubling time Law of 70 • If a population is growing at a constant rate of 1% per year it would be expected to double in 69. 3 years (approximately every 70 years). A Law of 70 is much simpler to remember than a Law of 69. 3 • If the rate of growth is 2% then the expected doubling time is 70/2 or 35 years. 2/28/2021 10

The Demographic Transition • The demographic transition is the description of secular trends in population growth in relation to changes over time in death or mortality rates and birth or fertility rates. • Demographic transition describes the major demographic trends that happened to Western countries in the past two centuries. 2/28/2021 11

The stages of the demographic transition Stage 1 (high stationary) • STATIONARY POPULATION A stable population that has a zero growth rate with constant numbers of births and deaths each year. • During stage 1, both the death rate and the birth rate are high. The birth rate is constant, while the death rate fluctuates in the face of natural disasters as famines, floods, epidemics, and wars. (Birth rate = Death rate) 2/28/2021 14

The stages of the demographic transition Explanation for stage 1: • High death rates especially in infants and children because of epidemics, famines, poor nutrition poor hygiene and little medical care. • High fertility because of high infant mortality, so parents tend to have more children to compensate for deaths • Children are also needed to work on the land to grow food and for family support 2/28/2021 15

2/28/2021 16

Stage 2 (early expanding) During stage 2, Birth rate remains high but the death rate begins a sharp decline due to major improvements in living standards attributable to industrialization. The large gap between the birth rate and the death rate accounts for the population explosion. (Birth rate > death rate) 2/28/2021 17

Stage 2 (early expanding) The reasons for declining death rate in stage 2 are: • Improvements in sanitation and water supply • Better quality and quantity of food produced • Transport and communications improve the movements of food and medical supplies 2/28/2021 18

2/28/2021 19

Stage 3 (late expanding) • During stage 3, Birth rates fall rapidly as people start controlling their fertility and limiting family size. (Birth rate > death rate) The fall in birth rate is due to: • Lower infant mortality rate so, most of the children will actually survive into adulthood, so no need for more children. • Children become more expensive to raise largely because of increasing educational demands. • A declining need for children as farm labors due to industrialization and mechanization • Increased access to contraception 2/28/2021 20

2/28/2021 21

Stage 4 (low stationary) In stage 4, the final stage, both birth rates and death rates are low. But in contrast to stage 1, birth rates fluctuate, indicative of fertility control as people alter their reproduction according to socioeconomic changes. (death rate = birth rate) 2/28/2021 22

2/28/2021 23

Stage 5 (declining) • A new fifth stage is added to the model, due to some countries such as Germany, Japan, . . having higher death rate than birth rate, so that their populations are actually falling. Birth rate < Death rate 2/28/2021 24

Stage 5 (declining) 2/28/2021 25

Factors affecting population Dynamics Factors that influence population dynamics: • Fertility (births), • Mortality (deaths) and • Migration. 2/28/2021 26

Fertility (Natality Rates) • • • Crude Birth Rate (CBR) General fertility rate (GFR) Age specific fertility rate Total Fertility Rate (TFR) Gross Reproduction rate 2/28/2021 27

Crude Birth Rate (CBR) Is the simplest indicator of fertility. It is defined as the number of live births per 1000 mid-year population in a given year and locality. =… Live Births/ 1000 population in a year. 2/28/2021 28

General fertility rate (GFR) The number of live births in a calendar year, divided by the number of women in the child bearing ages 15 -49 at mid year, multiplied by 1000 = …Live birth/1000 female population aged 15 -49. 2/28/2021 29

Age specific fertility rate = …Live births/1000 female population in specified age group. 28 February 2021 30

Total fertility rate (per woman) • TFR represents the average number of births that would be born to a woman throughout her reproductive period. • It is expressed as children per woman. • In Saudi Arabia, Total fertility rate (per woman) 3. 5 (2006) • In developing countries the TFR is over 6. 0 children per woman. • In most developed countries the TFR is under 2. 0. 2/28/2021 31

Gross Reproduction rate (per woman) • GRR represents the average number of female births that would be born to a woman throughout her reproductive period. • It is expressed as daughters per woman. • It predicts the fertility of the next generation 28 February 2021 32

Mortality Rates • • Crude Death Rate (CDR) Infant mortality rate Under-5 mortality rate Maternal mortality ratio 2/28/2021 33

Crude Death Rate (CDR) (per 1 000 population) The crude mortality rate is the mortality rate from all causes of death for an entire population. We usually multiply by 1000. = … Deaths/1000 individual in the specified year and locality. 2/28/2021 34

Infant mortality rate (per 1 000 live births) Infant mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a specific year or period dying before reaching the age of one. In Saudi Arabia (2006) • both sexes 21. 0 • female 20 • male 22. 0 2/28/2021 35

Under-5 mortality rate (per 1 000 live births) Under-five mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a specific year or period dying before reaching the age of five. In Saudi Arabia (2006) • both sexes 26 • female 23 • male 28 2/28/2021 36

Maternal mortality ratio (per 100 000 live births) The number of maternal deaths per 100 000 live births during a specified time period, usually 1 year. • In Saudi Arabia (2005) • MMR= 18 Maternal death is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days after termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes. 2/28/2021 37

Maternal mortality ratio (per 100 000 live births) 2/28/2021 38

Migration is the movement of populations across a specified boundary for the purpose of residing. Migration is the change of residence of a person or group of persons for better life and higher standard of living. • The terms immigration and emigration are used to refer to moves between countries (international migration). • The parallel terms: in-migration and out-migration are used for internal movement between different areas within a country (internal migration). 2/28/2021 39

Types of migration I- Internal migration It is the movement within the boundaries of a given country. Examples of internal migration: 1 - Rural - Urban migration. 2 - Movement of nomads. 3 - Movement of temporary and seasonal nature. 4 - Movement between and within urban areas. 2/28/2021 40

II- External migration a) Permanent migration: An example is the permanent movement of Arabs to the U. S. A. , Australia and Canada. b) Temporary migration: It is the migration over the borders of one society to another for the aim of working for a number of years, with the intent of an eventual return to the motherland. e. g. migration of Egyptian professionals and laborers to Arab Countries. In many countries, the effect of migration is minimal when compared to fertility and mortality. 2/28/2021 41
