Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?
![Page 2: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Demographic Transition Model• A model of population change where
high birth rates and death rates transition to low birth rates and death rates relative to (along with and due to) advances in medical technology, and economic and social development.
• A model is a simplified, general version of real events in order to facilitate understanding of a process
![Page 3: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Demographic Transition Model
• Based on the shifts that Britain experienced– will other countries follow this same pattern?
• Population pyramids are graphical representations of the different stages (KI 3 pt 2)
![Page 4: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stage 1: Low Growth
• HIGH birth rates and death rates= low growth (low NIR)
• First Agricultural Revolution allowed population to swell
• No countries are in stage 1 anymore.
![Page 5: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
![Page 6: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Impact of the Industrial Revolution (19th Cent)
• Second Agricultural Revolution HAD to occur first– People had to be able to leave the farms to go work in
factories– Improved methods and technologies, expanded storage,
less land used– Greater efficiency = Less people needed to work farms
AND the food supply increased• Industrial Rev- 19th
– Sanitation facilities, modern medicine, vaccines– Increased food supply + medicine = extremely lower death
rates– Migration to industrialized cities
![Page 7: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Colonization leads to higher growth rates
• When Europe colonized Africa and Asia, they brought medicines and sanitation techniques that helped them increase their population (Ag/Indust Revs)
• By 1950’s fear of overpopulation began when India, Africa and South America’s CDR declined
• Europe and NA population was stabilizing and “others” were increasing– Moving through different stages of the Demographic
Transition– Decreasing birth rates in Europe and NA- why?
![Page 8: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stage 2: High Growth
• Move to stage 2 caused by severely declining death rates + birth rates remain high= lots of growth.– Industrial revolution (MDCs)– Medical revolution (LDCs)
• What role does diffusion play here?
![Page 9: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stage 3: Moderate Growth
• Fertility (TFR) drops, therefore CBR drops= a decrease in growth
• CDR drop as well but not as bad as CBR.• What cultural and economic factors play
a role in the declining birth rate?
![Page 11: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage 4: Low Growth
• CDR and CBR become the same until NIR = 0 (ZPG)
• Population has swelled in stages 2 and 3.
• How does this stage compare to stage 4?
![Page 13: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stage 5? Decline?
• Could see some countries moving into a new stage 5: decline
• CDR would increase to be greater than CBR
• Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan
![Page 15: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why is it important to know?
• Countries with high population of younger people have different problems than countries with high old population– Aging population in MDCs vs. low life
expectancies in LDCs– Differing dependency ratios
• US- high elderly dependency (over 65) • Africa- high young dependency (under
15)
![Page 17: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Quick Write• Explain the 2 differences in the way
countries transition now (Mexico/LDCs) from in the past (Sweden/MDCs).

Population Pyramids
Bar graphs that show us:• Sex ratio- # of men per 100 women• Age distributions• Dependency ratio- under 15, over 65.• CBRs, CDRs, IMRs• Visual representations of the stages of
the Demographic Transition

World Population Pyramid. What stage is the world in?
![Page 32: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Countries in the Dem. Tran.–Three examples:
Cape Verde = High growth (Stage 2)Chile = Moderate growth (Stage 3) Denmark = Low growth (Stage 4)
![Page 33: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cape Verde
Wide base, skinny top
![Page 34: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Chile
Slimmer base, widening top
![Page 35: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Denmark
Slimmed base, widest top
![Page 36: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Extremely High Birth and Death Rates. Stage?
![Page 37: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Moderate to low Population Growth. Stage?
Skinnier middle-top makes it stage 3. When lower bulge gets older (lives longer/doesn’t die) then it will be in transition to 4. Compare to Japan on next slide.
![Page 38: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Post War Baby Boom and Declining Birth Rate. Stage?
Skinnier bottom with wider top makes this a stage 4. The skinnier the bottom gets, the more it is in transition to stage 5, i.e. the more “top heavy” it gets.
![Page 39: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Analysis
What can we determine about these countries':• CBRs/IMRs/TFRs?• CDRs?• Life expectancy?• Development levels (MDC/LDC)?• Dependency ratio?• How are all these concepts related?
![Page 41: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Very low stage 2, almost reverting to 1
![Page 42: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Stage 2
![Page 43: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Stage 2 moving toward stage 3
![Page 44: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Stage 3 in Transition
![Page 45: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Stage 3?- stable/low growth
![Page 46: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Stage 5? Aging population, very low CBR
![Page 47: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Population Growth and the Dem. Tran.• Population spike of second half of the 20th
century means few countries are in Stages with low population growth right now.
• Most countries are in stages 2 and 3 and only a few will reach stage 4 in near future = increased world population growth
• Problem: In LDCs, CDRs have declined with diffusion of medical technology but CBRs remain high due to cultural and economic reasons. We talked about the past vs. present transitions that countries make (see Quick the Write).
![Page 48: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Can the Earth “carry” us?
Carrying capacity- the maximum number of people the environment can support.
![Page 49: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
PANIC! AHH! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!• Fears that the world’s population
was outpacing the food supply/food production• Adding more fields and crops year by
year BUT having 2 or 3 babies per family!
• Thomas Malthus and Neo-Malthusians vs Marxists
![Page 50: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Two Viewpoints:• Malthus on overpopulation
– Food grows arithmetically (by adding); population grows geometrically (by multiplying)
–Assumed food production was confined spatially—i.e., limited to the land we have, and you can only eat what is grown in the country• Today, countries w/o arable land can
import most or all of food they need!
![Page 51: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Two Viewpoints• Malthus today: Neo-Malthusians
–LDCs have rapid population growth due to medical technology, but NOT wealth; massive amounts of poor people who cannot feed themselves
–Overpopulation stripping world of resources (clean, air, arable, land, fuel), not just food. Civil wars and violence will increase
![Page 52: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Two Viewpoints:
Criticism of Malthus:• Pessimistic (negative) viewpoint• Failure to consider technological
innovation –Fertilizers, mechanization, GMO’s
• Didn’t predict impact of globalization–Trade between countries to get what they
need• Overpopulation a regional instead of
global problem?
![Page 53: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Two viewpoints• Criticisms
– Friedrich Engels (Marxist/Communist)• World has enough resources to feed population
if shared equally• Under capitalism, workers do not control the
food and do not make enough to pay for it– World is better off with 7 billion = more
consumers and more jobs– Large population = power, more young men
for military
![Page 54: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What does the graph show about possible overpopulation? Does it help or hurt Malthus?
Figure 2-25
![Page 55: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Controlling Population Growth
• NIR can decline for only two reasons: drop in CBR or increase in CDR–I don’t think we would want to see an
increase in death rate…Unless you’re Malthus
• So, what is the most effective way to decrease CBR?
![Page 56: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Two Ways of Reducing CBR1. The country becomes more
economically developed (Stage 4-5).– Children are an economic/cultural burden
in developed cities– IMR would decrease with improved
medicine2. Use of contraceptives
– Faster results– Diffused by MDCs
![Page 57: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Problems with Contraceptives• Low status of women keeps them
from having a choice to use• Women regard high number of
children as having high status in society
• Religious opponents• Political reasons- abortions made
illegal
![Page 58: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Which method is better?• While contraceptives are a faster
method to reducing CBR’s, it faces more roadblocks (see last slide).
• But economic development will take longer (moving from stages 2 and 3 to 4).
• Therefore, overpopulation could be seen as a regional problem (specific to one country or area), not a global one…yet
![Page 59: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
How can Gov’ts affect population change?• 3 policy types: Expansive, eugenic, restrictive• Expansive Policies- encourage large families,
raises NIR– Aging and declining countries could institute
these policies– Tax breaks and other monetary measures
• Russia: $10,000 to women who birth 2nd or 3rd child
• Ulyanovsk- National Conception Day (9/12)- Free Car!
• Sweden- racier TV shows at night
![Page 60: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
How can Govt’s affect population change?
• Eugenic Policies- favors one racial/ethnic group over another– Nazis- Holocaust– US?- pre civil rights treatments of
Blacks/Af Ams– Japan- nearly homogenous (same)
population—strict immigration policies– Discrimination- higher taxes, less land, etc.
![Page 61: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
How can Govt’s affect population change?• Restrictive policies- reduce the NIR
– Toleration of birth control, prohibit large families
– China- one-child policy (has been relaxed recently)• Parents were penalized for having two-
fines/extra taxes, housing, education• Increased gender selected abortions;
orphaned girls and resulted in a gender imbalanced population (reason they relaxed it)
![Page 62: Ch. 2 Key Issue 3 Why Is Population Increasing at Different Rates?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ae27f8b9ab059977919/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
