Human Population Guided Viewing Worksheet

1.) Demographics the study of human populations 2.) How much did the human population grow in the 20 th century? It tripled. 3.) Exponential growth when the population and growth rate both increase 4.) Linear growth when only the population rate increase, but the growth rate is steady 5.) Doubling time estimation of how long for a population to double in size 6.) Developing Countries poor, young, and rapidly growing 7.) Developed Countries wealthy, old, ad mostly shrinking 8.) Fertility rate number of births per 1000 women per year 9.) Total Fertility Rate average number of children a woman has in her lifetime 10.) Replacement Level when you have 2.1 children per couple 11.) Emigration move out of an area 12.) Immigration move into an area 13.) Life expectancy average age a newborn can expect to attain in any given society 14.) Pronatalist Forces factors that increase the desire for children 15.) Antinatalist Forces factors that decrease the desire for children

1.) Fill out this summary chart showing the demographic divide between developed and developing countries: Example Country Developed Developing 2.) 3.) 4.) Japan Vietnam Average Age Gross Domestic Product $35,900 $3,800 Population Growth Rate -0.1% 1.03% Population Pyramid Shape

The majority of the worlds population is found in (developed/developing) countries. What are the two factors that most affect life expectancy? Label each of these examples of antinatalist of pronatalist factors? The son preference: pronatalist Increased education levels of family: antinatalist Women having access to professional careers: antinatalist Family lives in a developing country: pronatalist

5.) Fill out this summary table of the differences between the stages of the population transition model. Description of Living Conditions Lack of food, sanitation and Birth Rates (high/low) High Death Rates (high/low) High Population Change Birth and death rates are close

Preindustrial

Early transitional Late transitional Industrial

6.) What is an age structure diagram (population pyramid)? Draw a pyramid representing each of the 3 stages (Rapid growth, Stable, Declining). It displays the distribution of ages in a population at a specific time.

7.) What is the projection of the future human population? Why is it not clear? If it is low, then it would be around 8 billion people, if it is medium then it would be around 9.3 billion people, but if it is high, then it can go up at 13 billion. It is not clear because birth, death, and/or growth rate might possibly change within the next couple of years.
