Demographics Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Canada's dependency load | 31% |
| Without immigration, is Canada's population likely to decline or increase? | Decline |
| What is Canada's doubling time? | 87.5 |
| Why is it not always possible to make direct comparisons in the number of births or number of deaths between countries? | Bc every country has a different population density |
| How can we make comparisons between countries? | Rates |
| Dependency load age group? | 0-15 and 65+ |
| Non-dependent (working) age group? | 15-64 |
| Why might the dependency load ages have been chosen if they do not reflect the reality of who is dependent in countries like Canada? | Overall average ages |
| Baby boomer? | Ppl born in 1950s - 1960s, their births contributed to significant population growth in North America |
| How to calculate birth/death/immigration/emigration rate | Divide population by 1000, divide number of births/deaths/emigration/immigration by new "population" |
| How to calculate natural increase rate | Subtract death rate from birth rate |
| How to calculate net migration rate | Subtract emigration rate from immigration rate |
| How to calculate population growth rate | Add net migration rate and natural increase rate |
| How to calculate population growth rate as a percentage? | Multiply population growth rate by 100 |
| How to calculate doubling time | Divide 70 by population growth rate as percentage |
| Stage 1 of Demographic Transition Model | High BR, high DR; no countries like this since 1800's |
| Stage 2 of Demographic Transition Model | Low DR, high BR; more healthcare + medicine innovations, Canada in 1950s - 1960s, under-developed countries today |
| Stage 3 of Demographic Transition Model | Lower BR, DR remains low, Most developed countries today |
| Stage 4 of Demographic Transition Model | Equally low BR + DR, some European countries, Canada is reaching this point |
| Why BR will always decline much slower than DR | Bc ppl are much more opposed to birth control than death control, religious reasons |
| Demographics | Study of population numbers, distribution, trends + issues |
| Birth rate | number of births per 1000 ppl |
| Death rate | number of deaths per 1000 ppl |
| Immigration rate | number of new Canadians who have immigrated here from another country per 1000 ppl of Canada's population |
| Emigration rate | number of ppl per 1000 population in 1 yr who emigrate out |
| Natural increase rate | difference between birth rate + death rate of country |
| net migration rate | difference between ppl immigrating to a country + ppl emigrating from same country |
| population growth | measurement that combines both natural increase + net migration to calculate overall growth of country's population |
| compounding | growth on top of existing growth |
| doubling time | number of yrs it takes for population to double |
| rule of 70 | estimation of how many yrs it will take for country's population to double |
| population pyramid | series of horizontal bar graphs for the male population next to a similar series of bar graphs for female population |
| dependency load | portion of population not in workforce |
