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  
🗑
