Factors Affecting Human Population Size Births Deaths Migration
Factors Affecting Human Population Size • • Births Deaths Migration Emigration Population Change = (births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)
• Crude birth rate (CBR) – number of live births per 1000 people in a population in a given year • Crude death rate (CDR) – Number of deaths per 1000 people in a population in a given year

Key factors affecting a country’s average birth rate and TFR • • • Importance of children as a part of the labor force. Urbanization Cost of raising and educating children Educational and employment opportunities Infant mortality rate Average of marriage Availability of private and public pension system Availability of legal abortions Availability of reliable birth control methods Religious beliefs, traditions, and cultural norms.
Importance of Death Rates ü People started living longer. 1) Increased food supplies 2) Better nutrition 3) Improvements in medical and public health technology 4) Improved sanitation 5) Safer water supplies

Useful indicators of health • Life Expectancy – Average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live • Infant mortality rate – The number of babies out of every 1000 born who die before their first birthday
Global life expectancy • Good news – Increased from 48 to 67 years in developing countries from 1955 to 2002 – Increased from 48 to 76 years in developed countries during same period • Bad news – Life expectancy in poorest countries is 55 years or less
• Because it reflects the general level of nutrition and health care, infant mortality probably is the single most important measure of a societies quality of life.

Population age structure • Age categories – the proportion of the – Pre-reproduction population (or of • Ages 0 -14 each gender) at – Reproduction each age level • Ages 15 - 44 – Post-reproduction • Ages 45 and up
Age Structure • Describes how a populations’ members are distributed across age ranges • Usually 5 -yr excrements • Age structure diagram = visual representation of age structure for males and females • Used to predict how rapidly a population will increase and what its size will be in the future
Rapid Growth • Shaped like a cupcake • Typical of developing countries, such as India & Venezuela • Wide base indicates that the population will grow because a large # of females from 0 -15 have yet to bear children.
Slow Growth • Column-shaped • Few individuals in younger age classes • Ex: USA, Australia, Sweden

There have never been as many people on earth as there are now. • There are 7 billion people. http: //www. census. gov/popclock/ • How much is a billion? – If you were 1 billion seconds old, you’d be 31. 7 years of age – You’d have to circle the earth 40, 000 times to travel 1 billion miles – There are 44 million words in the Encyclopedia Britannica. You would need more than 136 full sets of the Encyclopedia to get 6 billion words
Migration • Most countries restrict immigration • Accounts for <1 percent in developing countries • Canada, Australia, and U. S. are exceptions – Immigration accounted for 40% of population growth in US in 2000 – Public strongly supports reducing immigration levels – Pros and cons to reducing legal immigration

Political issue – 71% of Hispanics voted for Obama in 2012 election • 11 million The estimated number of undocumented immigrants (UI) in the United States today. That’s an increase of roughly one third since 2000, when there were 8. 5 million UIs, according to the Center for American Progress.
http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v =QSlt. Llwa. K-c • Interesting statistics: $329 billion What passage of the DREAM Act would add to the U. S. economy, according to the Center for American Progress. $4. 5 billion to $5. 4 billion The amount of additional net tax revenue that would accrue to the federal government over 3 years if all current undocumented immigrants were legalized.
• $48. 6 billion The estimated cost to taxpayers of covering 3. 1 million amnestied immigrants during the budget period 2014 -2019, in which Medicaid expansion takes effect, according to the same source. • $40 billion The annual cost of educating illegals and their offspring in this country, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
People are living longer than ever. • Death rates have decreased in developed countries • Improving nutrition and living standards (not modern medicine) • As population gets older, the cause of death transitions from infectious diseases to chronic diseases such as heart attack and stroke • Japan!
There have never been so many young people • Less developed countries have significantly younger populations (high birth rates) • Improvements in infant mortality. • Contributes to population momentum • Teen childbearing: linked to education, age of marriage, and economic status
People are increasingly on the move • Moving to cities where it is more economically secure • Half of the world is urbanized • World’s largest cities are getting larger – 1960: London, Tokyo, New York – 1995: Tokyo, Sao Paolo (Brazil), Mexico City – 2015: Lagos (Nigeria), Bombay (India), Tokyo
Family Planning • Programs which provide educational and clinical services that help couples choose how many children to have and when. a. Birth spacing b. Birth control c. Health care
Male sterilization 5% Condom 5% Pill 8% No method 43% Other methods 10% Estimated global use of contraceptives IUD 12% Female sterilization 17%
Women’s lives are changing • Life expectancy , Jobs , Literacy rates , enrollment in secondary school • Women are the key to the family! • “Reproductive revolution” – Family planning! – Saves lives of mothers and children • Work – Less official jobs (more work @ home) – Get paid ¾ of male salary • Connected to family
Demographic Transition 1. Preindustrial stage: tough life, high birth rate, high death rate
Demographic Transition 2. Transitional stage: industrialization begins, food production rises, health care improves, death rate drops but birth rates stay high
Demographic Transition 3. Industrial stage: birth rate drops & starts to match death rates. Pop growth depends on economics. (most developed countries are here)
Demographic Transition 4. Postindustrial stage: birth rate = death rate 38 countries, most in Europe about 13% of the world’s pop in this stage
BIRTH RATES • Birth Rates Go Up when… Children in workforce Availability of roofies. Religious beliefs, traditions and cultural norms
BIRTH RATES • Birth Rates Go Down when… Urbanization Cost of raising & educating kids Educational and employment opportunities for women Infant mortality rate Avg age of marriage Availability of pension Availability of legal abortions Availability of reliable birth control methods Syphilis rates are high
Death Rates • Decreased death rate: – Increased food supplies & distribution – Better nutrition – Improvements in medical & public health technology (immunizations & antibiotics) – Improved sanitation & personal hygiene – Safer water supplies (less infectious diseases) • Healthy country: – Life expectancy = – Infant mortality rate =
SLOWING POPULATION GROWTH IN INDIA AND CHINA • For more than five decades, India has tried to control its population growth with only modest success. • Since 1970, China has used a government -enforced program to cut its birth rate in half and sharply reduce its fertility rate.

India’s Failed Family Planning Program • • • Poor planning. Bureaucratic inefficiency. Low status of women. Extreme poverty. Lack of administrative financial support. Disagreement over the best ways to slow population growth.
China’s Family Planning Program • Currently, China’s TFR is 1. 6 children per women. • China has moved 300 million people out of poverty. • Problems: – Strong male preference leads to gender imbalance. – Average population age is increasing. – Not enough resource to support population.
More people affect the environment • Water – Demand exceeds supply – Mainly used for agriculture – Water quality affects availability of safe water • Forests – Valuable for indigenous cultures, ecosystem services, etc… threatened by development • Energy – Developed countries use more energy (proportionally) – Need to import it!
