Population Characteristics
Human Development Index• A set of living conditions that gives a general
picture of what life is like in a given country.
Fertility Rate• The average number of babies born in a
woman’s lifetime in a given country.Country A = 1.58 children born/womanCountry B = 5.39 children born/woman
Birth Rate• The number of babies who are born each year
for every 1000 people in a country.Country A = 10.28 births/1,000 pop.Country B = 37.83 births/1,000 pop.
Death Rate
• The number of people who die each year for every 1000 people in a country.
Country A = 7.98 deaths/1,000 pop.Country B = 17.39 deaths/1,000 pop.
Natural Increase• Is when the population goes up because the
birth rate is higher than the natural death rate.
Life Expectancy• Is the number of years that a baby born in a
particular year can be expected to live under current conditions.
Country A = 81.38 yearsCountry B = 45.02 years
Net Migration• Is the difference between the number of
people leaving (emigrating) a country and those coming in (immigrating).
Country A = 5.65 migrants/1,000 populationCountry B = 3.31 migrants/1,000 population
Doubling Time• The amount of time it will take a country to
double in size. • More developed countries have a doubling
time that is hundreds of years.• The average doubling time for developing
countries is 37 years.
Literacy Rate• Is a measure of the population over 15 who
can read and write.Country A = 99%Country B = 28.1% (male = 43% female = 12.5%)
Per Capita Income• The average amount of money earned by each
person in a country for one year.Country A = $39,400Country B = $900
Infant Mortality Rate
• Is the amount of infant deaths out of every 1,000 babies born in a year in a country.
Country A = 4.92 deaths/1,000 live birthsCountry B = 149.2 deaths/1,000 live births
Population Pyramids• Are a type of graph that give information
about the number of people in each age group and the balance of males and females in a country’s population.
• What inferences can we make about “Country A” and Country B”?
• Which country would you rather live in?
• Which country do you believe is more “developed”?
