Chapter 8POPULATION STUDIES
POPULATION DISTRIBUTION, Diversity and Change
![Page 2: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Learning outcomesin this chapter you will learn that:
• The population cycle explains how birth and death rates change over time
• Population density varies from place to place
• A country’s population structure is shown on a “Population Pyramid”
• High densities and low densities have social and economic effects
• Poor countries have higher death rates than rich countries

POPULATION DENSITYTHE WORLDS POPULATION IS 6BILLION
SOME AREA ARE:VERY DENSELY POPULATED……A LOT OF PEOPLE
LIVE IN CERTAIN PLACES
VERY SPARSLY POPULATED…..NOT MANY PEOPLE LIVE THERE.

TERMS
• POPULATION DENSITY: THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE
• POPULATION DISTRIBUTION: WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE LIVE IN AN AREA

• FOUR AREAS OF HIGH POPULATION DENSITY ARE:
• NOTRH-EAST AMERICA• WESTERN EUROPE• INDIA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH• CHINA, JAPAN, INDONESIA
![Page 7: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Population distribution around the world
![Page 8: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Where do all the people in the world live?
![Page 9: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the population of Ireland in 2005?
Ireland’s population 4.1 million
![Page 10: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is the population of the world in 2005?
World population 6,477 millionOver six billion people living in the world
![Page 11: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How big is this figure?
• One billion = One thousand million• One billion= 1,000,000,000• It would take you eleven days to count to one
million if you allowed one second for every number you counted
![Page 12: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Population growth
• In the past, population growth was slow and uneven.
• Populations fluctuated because of wars, famine, disease.
• People were dying because of a lack of medicine
![Page 13: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Today’s population growth• The population of the world is growing: by over 200,000 people every day
This means that the birth rates are greater than the death rates = the population grows
The birth rate is the number of babies born per year for every 1,000 people in the total populationThe death rate is the numbers of people dying per year for every 1,000 people in the total population
What happens to the population if the death rates are higher than the birth rates??
![Page 14: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How do you calculate the population growth?
• 40 people are born• 15 people die• 40 – 15 = 25 per 1,000
25/1000 x100% = 2.5 % per year
![Page 15: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Where is the population growth happening in the world?
• Today most of the population growth is in developing countries: Asia and Africa
• This is because people in poorer countries regard children as a source of income. When they retire, their children can provide a wage to help support their family
![Page 16: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
POPULATION GROWTH
• IN RICH COUNTRIES TODAY THE POPULATIONS ARE GROWING SLOWLY
• IN POOR COUNTRIES TODAY THE POPULATIONS ARE GETTING BIGGER VERY QUICKLY
![Page 17: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• SO……...WE CAN USE HOW RICH OR POOR A COUNTRY IS
• ……..TO TELL WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ITS POPULATION
• LETS LOOK AT EUROPE OVER THE PAST 200 YEARS
![Page 19: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The population cycle
![Page 20: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
STAGE ONE
• 200 YEARS AGO THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION HAD NOT STARTED IN EUROPE
• MOST PEOPLE LIVED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE AND WERE FARMERS
• BIRTH RATES AND DEATH RATES WERE VERY HIGH. Famine, disease and natural disasters caused high death rates
![Page 21: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
STAGE TWO
• As the economy of a country improves, the government spend money on health services and clean water is available
• Birth rates remain high• Death rates begin to fall• The population begins to grow
![Page 22: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
STAGE THREE
• Economic growth continues; People are more educated and they begin to plan family sizes.
• Families have fewer children so the birth rates begins to fall
• Death rates are still low
![Page 23: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
STAGE FOUR
• Countries are wealthy in this stage.• Parents continue to plan their family size• Birth rates are low• Death rates are low as most people survive to
old age• Ireland is considered to be at this stage now
![Page 24: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stage 5
• The death rate is higher than the birth rate because the population is now elderly
• Women are having fewer children• Germany is at this stage now
![Page 25: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Factors that affect population change
1. Food Supply2. Improved Technology3. Health4. War5. Status of Women6. Education
![Page 26: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Food supply affects population growth
Food supply
![Page 27: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Examples of food supply affecting populations in Ireland and Brazil
• 1800 Ireland had population of 4.5 million• Potato was main food.• By 1845 population grew to 8 million• 1845-1848 famine. 1 million died
• 1900 Brazil: population was 17 million• 2007 population was 192 million. Why?• Immigration and high birth rates• Farmers cleared land for agriculture-rice, maize, vegetables and fruit
![Page 28: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
2. Improved Technology helps with population growth
Improvedtechnology

3. Health affects changes in population
Health
![Page 30: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Examples of how health is different in rich and poor countries
• Rich country: water supply available: Safe drinking water and sanitation
• Disease such as Tuberculosis has been wiped out due to availability of medication
• Poor countries: Water not available in rural areas. They have a well which is unsafe-contaminated by animals….cholera
![Page 31: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Population Pyramids
• Population pyramids show the structure of the population
• Age structure of the population. This is the proportion of people in different age groups.
• Sex structure of the population. This is the proportion of males to females.
![Page 32: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Population pyramid for Brazil
![Page 39: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Brazil is a country with a rapidly expanding poulation.
• A wide base tells us that birth rates are high:• Lack of family planning, high rate of infant
mortality, traditional role of women in society• A narrow peak tells us that death rates are
high: this is because of• poor living standards, lack of good food, poor
medical services, lack of clean water
![Page 40: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Germany population pyramid
![Page 41: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Germany is a developed country
• A narrow base indicates low birth rates.• This is because of high rates of education = family
planning, low infant mortality rates, women work outside the home, good access to medical services, Germany is industrialised so children are not needed to work in the primary sector (digging fields, mines)
• A wide peak indicates low death rates: this is due to high living standards, good medical services and a developed economy
![Page 42: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Irelands Population Pyramid
![Page 43: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ireland is a developed economy
• A narrow base indicates low birth rates but there is an increase in the 0-4 age category in ireland
• The reasons are the same as Germany..education/family planning…
• The wide peak indicates low death rates as older people live longer. Life expectancy is high. Women live on average to 80 yrs and 75 for men in Ireland
• Why?
![Page 44: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Life Expectancy
Life expectancy is the average number of years which new born children can be expected to live.

Population density and population distribution
• Population density = average number of people living in a square kilometre. Areas with high population densities can have problems such as overcrowding, lack of clean water, pollution and lack of open spaces
• Population distribution = the dispersion of people around the world: where people live. It is very uneven. People avoid very hot, dry, humid or cold areas. Example-Sahara desert, Greenland
![Page 50: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
World population densities

Percentage share of worlds population by continent
![Page 52: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Lets recap what we did the last day
• What information do population pyramids give us?
• Describe what a pyramid for a developing country would look like
• Describe what a pyramid for a less developed country would look like
• Why do these countries have high birth rates?
![Page 53: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Here is an interesting article from Saturday’s Irish Times
• Listen to this article and make notes about anything that strikes you
• This article is about one of the most dangerous places in the world to have a baby
• Sierra Leone• High rates of maternal and infant mortality
![Page 54: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
At the end of todays class you will be able to:
• Explain what a high population density means• list the problems that are caused by high
density• Describe life in Kolkata• Examine and discuss the problems caused by
overcrowding in Kolkata
![Page 55: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
High population densities
• Overpopulation means that there are too many people living in an area relative to resources and technology to provide an adequate standard of living
• An adequate standard of living means having access to clean water, shelter, food and clothing
• Areas with high population densities include Kolkata (Calcutta) India and Hong Kong (China)
![Page 56: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
High population density has an effect on the social and economic geography of an area.
![Page 57: Chapter 8 POPULATION STUDIES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815aad550346895dc84fb7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Kolkata was the new name given to Calcutta in 2001
• Kolkata is in India and has one of the world’s largest populations
• It has over 10 million people and is called a MEGA CITY
• many areas have 32,000 people per square kilometre
• 500,000 people are pavement dwellers• It is a manufacturing city with a large port
