Population distribution is how people are spread across any given area.
There are many factors that affect population distribution such as physical and human factors such as climate, access to jobs, good natural resources and flat low lying land.
Population distribution and density

Birth rate- The average number of births per 1,000 people
Death rate- The average number of deaths per 1,000 people
Life expectancy- The average age you are expected to live in the country you were born in
Infant mortality- Is the average number of children per 1,000 born alive but die before the age of one.
Natural Increase- When the birth rate is more than the death rate
Natural decrease- When the death rate is more than the birth rate
Optimal population- When there is a good population level for the natural resources and land of an area
Important Population Definitions
![Page 12: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Dependents are those who rely upon others of working age, e.g. children and old people
2. Economically active are those people who work to receive money, normally people who pay taxes and are between 18-70
Important definitions
![Page 13: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Demographic information about a country is collected normally every 5 or10 years by using a census.
A census is a national record that collects information about everyone in the country during the time of the census. Examples of information collected are; age, gender, education, illnesses and commuter habits.
Census
![Page 14: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to calculate the natural population growth rate of a country.
Subtract the death rate from the birth rate and this will give you the population growth rate per 1,000.
E.g. Malta Birth rate= 10.3 Death rate= 8.3 Therefore population growth is 2.0 per
1000 people.
Key point about population
![Page 15: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Now we will examine the key stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
http://www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk/vtc/demographic_trans/eng/Introduction/default.htm
Demographic Transition Model
![Page 16: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This shows how changes in birth and
death rates can affect population
growth
These five stages are linked to
economic growth which means
normally you can determine the
population of a country depending on
the economic growth of that country.

![Page 17: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What does the DTM not take into account?
Migration Immigration- People moving INTO a
country Emigration- People moving OUT of a
country Time
LEDC’s are developing faster so the time period between each stage may be shorter
Important things to consider

Taken from the US Census Bureau! 1. Look beyond census numbers in
order to decipher problems in data collection. This involves knowing the history of a country and examining the extent to which past events have affected the population structure.
2. The effects of war in 1963 on males ages 20-24, might be apparent in a 2013 population, among males ages 70-74, for example.
Important points to consider
![Page 32: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
In many Persian Gulf States, for example, a large proportion of the labour force consists of international migrants, who are predominantly male. Because of this particular feature in Persian Gulf countries, the base population age-sex structures for these countries necessarily include a large male-dominant working-age population.

Too many young people Need more schools Need more food
resources for growing population
Better health care for the youth
Need more recreational facilities, parks, cinemas, sports facilities
Better shopping facilities
Too many old people Better health care
needed for elderly Need more retirement
homes Need to ensure there
is enough economically active people to look after the dependents.
Need more social services for the old people.

If the number of people living in an area is greater than the resources available to support that population, it is overpopulated. E.g. Nigeria in Africa

1. Not enough housing2. Increased water and air pollution3. Shortage of food and water4. High crime rates5. Not enough health care and
education6. Increased traffic
Problems of overpopulation
![Page 43: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
If the number of people living in an area is less than is needed to make full use of the resources available then that area can be described as under populated. E.g. Australia has many resources but it is not using them fully.
Under population
![Page 44: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
1. Low birth rate2. Not enough workers to support the
growing economy3. Need to invite people from other
countries to help develop the economy. E.g. Australia taking in skilled people from Ireland
4. Less exports as products are not made due to lack of work force
5. Not enough economically active people to support the dependents.
Problems of under population

This is where there is an adequate supply of resources to meet the needs of the population. E.g Germany.
Optimum Population
![Page 47: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Chinese government realised in the 1970’s that it was facing a serious issue of over population.
In 1979 to try to combat this they introduced population control measures.
The main policy introduced was the one child policy which limited one child per family.
China’s one child policy
![Page 48: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
1. Couples had to seek permission before marrying and had to seek permission again before having a child
2. Those who followed the policy were given free education, priority housing and family benefits
3. Those who did not follow the policy were not given any benefits and were fined heavily.
4. Women who became pregnant a second time were forced to have an abortion.
Main points of policy
![Page 49: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
By the late 1990’s China estimated that its population is 230 million less because of the ‘one child policy’. The birth rate decreased dramatically from 31 births per 1000 to 19 births per 1000.
This has helped to address the severe issues of overpopulation as mentioned previously.
Successes of the policy
![Page 50: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
However, as mentioned in previous classes every action has a consequence and as geographers it is your job to both notice and comment on these consequences.
Modern changes in the policy
![Page 51: Mr. Kelly Topic: Population November 2012. Today we are going to learn; 1. History of human population growth 2. Reasons why population growth changes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c785503460f9492d678/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The desire for a boy is part of Chinese culture so as a result of the one child policy boys were preferred over girls.
The male population increased as a result of more boys, the female population consequently decreased as girls were often abandoned, killed or sold to baby-traffickers.

Today there is a clear imbalance between the genders as there are more males than females in the 20-35 age group.
To help address this the Chinese government changed the policy.
1. Allowing all families in rural areas to have two children
2. Offering women a wider choice in methods of contraception
3. Allowing the option of voluntary family planning in 300 trial districts.

An ageing population means that the population is getting older with more and more old people. What would this look like in a population pyramid?
This is because the life expectancy of China is increasing.
Life expectancy was 40 years old in 1950 it is now over 80 years old

As the population is getting older this means there will be a large amount of elderly dependents.
This has problems because;1. Need money for pensions as there is none set
aside2. strain on working population/higher taxation;3. need for more money to be spent on care
homes/health, more doctors, nurses and medicines needed for old people
4. care/facilities for elderly, etc.;5. not enough workers for key positions;6. difficult to defend country;7. need to attract foreign workers;8. services for young under utilised/uneconomical,
etc.

This is the measure of the number of retired people per 100 people in the economically active group.
Eg. 20 old people per 100 working people is good
40 old people per 100 working people is bad as this means that the working people have to take care of more elderly people.

Russia’s population is in decline, each year the population is falling by about 700,000.
This is threatening economic growth as there will soon not be enough people who are economically active to support the dependents of the country.
To address this, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered birth incentives.
