WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OLD PEOPLE AROUND?
JUST HOW CROWDED IS OUR TINY LITTLE PLANET GETTING?
Population Geography
Learning Target #18 – Describe human population in terms of total population, distribution/density,
the demographic transition, and population pyramids.
King James 2000 BibleAnd you, be you fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
World Population Over Time
So what happened?
What factors caused population growth?
Key Terms
More births ◦ Birth rate◦ Fertility rate
Fewer deaths◦ Death rate◦ Life expectancy◦ Infant mortality rate
Natural Increase◦ Birth rate – death rate
Population Growth Rate
What about for a region…what else do we need to consider?
Examples: USA = 13.66 / 1000 USA = 2.06 children per
woman
USA = 8.39 /1000 USA = 78.62 years USA = 5.9 deaths / 1000
live births
USA = 5.27 /1000 USA = 0.9% (9/1000)
Immigration and Emigration!
Population Distribution/Density
Are people evenly
distributed
across the
Earth?
The Demographic Transition Model
++++++--------

Why/how does
population change
over time?
More/better food and medicine
Moving into cities; $
Now it’s your turn…Pick a population topic and
geographize it!
Check for understanding…Based on what we have learned so far, what is wrong with this animated map of Earth’s population density over time?Learning Target #18 – Describe human population in terms of total population, distribution/density, the demographic transition, and population pyramids.
