The statistical study of human populations, specifically birth rates, death rates, natural increase rates, and other factors that affect population change in an area or country.

Rate of natural increase

The difference between the crude birth rate and crude death rate.

A figure obtained by dividing the number of births in one year by the population and multiplying by 1000.

A figure obtained by dividing the number of deaths in one year by the population and multiplying by 1000.

Population growth rate

The fractional rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases. (Births - Deaths + Immigrants - Emigrants) / population * 1000

The difference between the immigration and emigration rates.

The time required for a population to double in size. Can be calculated by using the "rule of seventy". Divide 70 by the natural increase rate for a country to determine the approximate doubling time for that country,

Demographic Transition Model (Stage 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)

A model that can be used to show the changes in a population's birth rates and death rates, and growth based on its technological development.

The average number of years that an individual is expected to live.

The number of children a woman will have in her lifetime.

The number of people living in a given area.

Can be determined by dividing the population of a country by its area.

The measure of how much nutrition in calories an area of land can produce.

The number of people that the land can support. If the population increases beyond this number there will likely be famine or disease to reduce the population to a manageable level.

The collection of statistics about people and activities. In Canada one of these is held every ten years, with a less complete compilation every five years.

A graph divided into five year intervals by male and female that shows the age and sex structure of a population.

The ratio between the number of people that are working and those that are over the age of 65 and under the age of 15.

Can be determined using the ratio of population to available resources. If a given environment has a population of ten, but there is food or drinking water enough for only nine, then that environment is suffering from ___________________.

China's one-child policy

A planned birth policy implemented to deal with the problem of overpopulation. Families are allowed to have one child, additional children will result in large fines.

population distribution

the way people are spaced over the earth's surface

Chapter 13 Population

Glossary Term	Definition
Demography	The statistical study of human populations, specifically birth rates, death rates, natural increase rates, and other factors that affect population change in an area or country.
Rate of natural increase	The difference between the crude birth rate and crude death rate.
Crude birth rate	A figure obtained by dividing the number of births in one year by the population and multiplying by 1000.
Crude death rate	A figure obtained by dividing the number of deaths in one year by the population and multiplying by 1000.
Population growth rate	The fractional rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases. (Births - Deaths + Immigrants - Emigrants) / population * 1000
Net migration Rate	The difference between the immigration and emigration rates.
Doubling Time	The time required for a population to double in size. Can be calculated by using the "rule of seventy". Divide 70 by the natural increase rate for a country to determine the approximate doubling time for that country,
Demographic Transition Model (Stage 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)	A model that can be used to show the changes in a population's birth rates and death rates, and growth based on its technological development.
Life expectancy	The average number of years that an individual is expected to live.
Fertility rate	The number of children a woman will have in her lifetime.
Population density	The number of people living in a given area.
Crude density	Can be determined by dividing the population of a country by its area.
Nutritional density	The measure of how much nutrition in calories an area of land can produce.
Carrying capacity	The number of people that the land can support. If the population increases beyond this number there will likely be famine or disease to reduce the population to a manageable level.
Population census	The collection of statistics about people and activities. In Canada one of these is held every ten years, with a less complete compilation every five years.
Population pyramid	A graph divided into five year intervals by male and female that shows the age and sex structure of a population.
Dependency ratio	The ratio between the number of people that are working and those that are over the age of 65 and under the age of 15.
Overpopulation	Can be determined using the ratio of population to available resources. If a given environment has a population of ten, but there is food or drinking water enough for only nine, then that environment is suffering from ___________________.
China's one-child policy	A planned birth policy implemented to deal with the problem of overpopulation. Families are allowed to have one child, additional children will result in large fines.
population distribution	the way people are spaced over the earth's surface
