GEOGRAPHIC MODELS § First, models are JUST models § Models are a way of showing geographic phenomena § Discuss the purpose of the model. What does the model do? § Basic assumptions of the model § Description and analysis of the model (e. g. , zones, transitions, activities in certain places) § Usefulness and/or applications of the model

Could we call the DTM stages…? Stage 1 – The no one lives here anymore stage Stage 2 – The sanitation and medical stage Stage 3 – The all about girls stage Stage 4 – The rich kids stage Stage 5 – The no more kids stage Remember – the DTM is about the transition process, not just trying to fit a country here or there. § National population statistics may not reveal regional variations within individual countries. What concept is demonstrated by this? ? § SCALE § British Influence on India § § §

Now, let’s apply the model Questions for the DTM Stage(s) Descriptor Billy loses his job as a grave digger Parents start to think more about family planning Children are warmer in bed at night because they have more brothers and sisters There are more Golden Anniversaries Large percentage of women never have a child A mother sobs over the grave of her last six children who died in a typhoid epidemic A lot more houses are being built The Public Health Inspector smiles as the building of sewers are completed Fewer children share a bedroom Grandparents are very rare A child is born and will have no brothers/sisters, no aunts/uncles, no cousins

Stage 5 of the Demographic Transition? ? § Negative Pop. Growth: § Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Germany are just a few examples § Italy and Spain – part of each country with TFRs (Total Fertility Rate) of 0. 8% (Bologna, Italy) § Why is this significant? § What about the United States TFR? § Highest TFR state in the US? Why? § Emigration and Immigration are also factors in population growth/decline. § Think this is not a real issue? What does NEGATIVE POP.

Population Dynamics § Natural Increase – difference between number of births and the number

Population Dynamics § Natural Increase – difference between number of births and the number of deaths in specific period. IMPORTANT – Gains and losses through migration are not counted in RNI (Rate of Natural Increase) § "r" is variously referred to as the "rate of natural increase" or the "per capita rate of increase" of the population, or as the "rate of net reproduction per individual. " § It is essentially the probability that any individual in the population will give birth during the time interval (usually year), discounted for their probability of dying. § § Crude Birth Rate (CBR) - # live births per year per 1000 population § What do these two numbers tell us? § Compare and Contrast these two. § What gender issues are there with IM and CM? Crude Death Rate (CDR) - # deaths per year per 1000 pop. Infant Mortality - # deaths per 1000 before 1 st birthday – map 58 -59 Child Mortality - # deaths per 1000 before 5 th birthday § Life Expectancy – page 49 § Life Expectancy Map – page 51

Population Dynamics § Total Fertility Rate (TFR) - # of children born to women

Population Dynamics § Total Fertility Rate (TFR) - # of children born to women of child-bearing age § Replacement Rate – 2. 1 babies per woman § Why does it have to be 2. 1 to replace a population § IMR and CMR – not all kids make it to adulthood § Total Fertility Rate – remember, the births/woman/lifetime § 6 -7 children in the periphery 1 -2 children in the core § China: 1968 - 6. 0 1998 - 1. 8 2008 - 0. 629 § REVIEW - Aside from artificial birth control, what are some factors which could reduce TFRs? § Late marriage, education of women, suffrage, women’s rights, political access/power, economic access, social access

Get your phones, power them up for math § § § § § r

Get your phones, power them up for math § § § § § r = b-d Crude Death Rate – gross # of deaths Crude Birth Rate – gross # of births CBR – CDR = RNI These are expressed per 1, 000 population Current global CBR is 21/1, 000 Current global CDR Is 9/1, 000 So, that equals a natural growth rate of ___ 12/1, 000 Or, expressed in a percentage = a global growth of 1. 2% per year The word “percent” means per 100. So, move the decimal over one place on each number and you get 1. 2 per 100 or 1. 2%!

Given the world has approximately 7. 3 billion people, how many will be added

Given the world has approximately 7. 3 billion people, how many will be added this year? § Math Shortcut – What is 10% of 7, 300, 000 people? § Answer – 730, 000 people § What is 10% of 730, 000? § ( Hint: 10% of 10% = 1%) § Answer – 73, 000 people § So, about how many people would 1. 2% (global RNI) be? § Math is - 7, 300, 000 x. 12 = 87, 600, 000 people § Answer – the world gains about 8. 76 Million people EVERY YEAR with a global RNI of 1. 2% § So, 1. 2% is a pretty big number, huh? !?

Other Ways of Figuring Demographic Change Births + In Migration - Deaths + Out Migration Total Population *Births, Deaths, and Migrations act as variables TP = OP + B – D + I – E TP – Total Pop. OP – Original Pop. B – Births D – Deaths I – Immigration (In) E – Emigration (Out)

DEMOGRAPHIC MOMENTUM Demographic Momentum - tendency for growing populations to continue growing after a

DEMOGRAPHIC MOMENTUM Demographic Momentum - tendency for growing populations to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution. In other words, fertility is reduced significantly – but the population continues to grow – many times for a generation or more.

Demographic Momentum and Doubling Time § DOUBLING TIME – time required for a population

Demographic Momentum and Doubling Time § DOUBLING TIME – time required for a population to double in size – § RNI – Rate Nat. Increase § 1% = 70 years § 2% = 35 years § 3% = 23 years § 4% = 18 years § Factors of Growth – Steady Growth for 70 Years § Growth Rate/Year Factor § 1% 2=2 § 2% 2 x 2 = 4 § 3% 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 § 4% 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 § 5% 2 x 2 x 2 = 32 § 6% 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 § 7% 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 128 So, is 4, 5, 6 or 7% a high growth rate? What did Dr. Bartlett say? § Can you describe DEMOGRAPHIC MOMENTUM now?
