SF Human Geography 11 Unit 2 Population
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| J Curve | it shows that for most of human history, population growth as slow and steady but since about 1800 the population has been rapidly increasing at an exponential rate |
| Developed countries | relatively healthy, such as the USA, Germany, China, Japan |
| Developing countries | poor or sort of poor countries such as Mexico, China, Afghanistan, and Sub-Saharan African countries |
| Level off | world population by 2100 is expected to do this |
| Total Fertility Rate (TFR) | number of children born to a woman during her lifetime |
| Stages 1 and 4 of DTM | Low / Stable Growth |
| Stages 2 and 3 of DTM | Moderate and Fast Growth |
| Causes of population growth | lack of access to birth control; low status and education of women; and the need for farm workers |
| Effects of population growth | increased deforestation, warmer climate, and increased use of resources |
| Stage 1 | High CBR, high CDR |
| Stage 2 | CDR drops dramatically |
| Stage 3 | CBR drops dramatically |
| Stage 4 | Low CDR, low CBR |
| Stage 5 | CDRs rise above CBRs |
| Highest NIR rate is found in what stage of DTM | Stage 2 |
| The role of women changes most dramatically in what stage of the DTM | Stage 3 |
| Mortality Revolution | drastic drop in death rates |
| These cause death rates to drop in Stage 2 of the DTM | basic medicine, improved hygiene, and clean drinking water |
| Epidemics, wars, and natural catastrophes | things that could cause CDRs to get higher than CBRs |
| Lower TFR | causes progress through Stages 4 and 5 of DTM |
| Wide-based population pyramid | indicates a young population, rapidly growing population, short doubling times, and Stage 2 of the DTM |
| Which stage of DTM is farming the economic base? | Stage 2 of the DTM |
| CBR, CDR, mortality, and fertility | components of world population growth |
| where is most population growth found? | developing countries |
| being a tax burden on workers, not enough workers, culture dies out | challenges of a declining population |
| doubling time, TFR, NIR, population pyramids | ways to measure population growth |
| Arithmetic density | the number of people per unit of land |
| Physiological density | the number of people per unit of arable land |
| Agricultural density | the number of farmers per unit of arable land |
| Order of 'ways of life over time' | Hunting and gathering to agriculture to industrial to modern |
| ways to increase CBRs | giving tax breaks, pro-fertility advertising, cash bonuses for having kids, free daycare, paid maternity/paternity leave |
| How to find arithmetic density | Total population divided by total land area |
| How to find physiological density | total population divided by total amount of arable land |
| Infant mortality rate (IMR) | the annual number of deaths of infants who die before their first birthday compared with total live births |
| Life expectancy | the number of years a newborn can expect to live |
| Dependency ratio | the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive years |
| Malthus Theory | the belief that population would overtake food supply |
