World Population Cartogram
Fig. 2-1: This cartogram displays countries by the size of their population rather than
their land area. (Only countries with 50 million or more people are named.)

Climate is one factor that affects population density.

Arithmetic Population Density
Fig. 2-4: Arithmetic population density is the number of people per total land area.
The highest densities are found in parts of Asia and Europe.

Physiological Density
Fig. 2-5: Physiological density is the number of people per arable land area. Thisis a good measure of the relation between population and agricultural
resources in a society.

World Population Growth1950 - 2005
Fig. 2-6: Total world population increased from 2.5 to over 6 billion in slightly over 50years. The natural increase rate peaked in the early 1960s and has declined
since, but the number of people added each year did not peak until 1990.

Crude Death Rates
Fig. 2-12: The crude death rate (CDR) is the total number of deaths in a country per1000 population per year. Because wealthy countries are in a late stage ofthe Demographic Transition, they often have a higher CDR than poorer
countries.

Natural Increase Rates
Fig. 2-7: The natural increase rate (NIR) is the percentage growth or decline in thepopulation of a country per year (not including net migration). Countries inAfrica and Southwest Asia have the highest current rates, while Russia and
some European countries have negative rates.

Life Expectancy at birth
Fig. 2-11: Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a newborn infant canexpect to live. The highest life expectancies are generally in the wealthiestcountries, and the lowest in the poorest countries.

The Demographic Transition
Fig. 2-13: The demographic transition consists of four stages, which move from highbirth and death rates, to declines first in death rates then in birth rates, andfinally to a stage of low birth and death rates. Population growth is mostrapid in the second stage.

transition.

Percent of Population under 15
Fig. 2-15: About one-third of world population is under 15, but the percentage by countryvaries from over 40% in most of Africa and some Asian countries, to under 20%in much of Europe.

Fig. 2-16: Population pyramids can vary greatly with different fertility rates (Laredo vs.Honolulu), or among military bases (Unalaska), college towns (Lawrence), and
retirement communities (Naples).

Rapid Growth in Cape Verde
Fig. 2-17: Cape Verde, which entered stage 2 of the demographic transition in about1950, is experiencing rapid population growth. Its population historyreflects the impacts of famines and out-migration.

Fig. 2-19: Denmark has been in stage 4 of the demographic transition since the1970s, with little population growth since then. Its populationpyramid shows increasing numbers of elderly and few children.

Fig. 2-21: Crude birth rates declined in most countries during the 1980s and 1990s(though the absolute number of births per year increased from about 120 to130 million).
