Population Growth• 7 billion people live on 17% of
the planet’s land
![Page 6: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Population Growth• Population should reach 7.8 billion by 2025.

Population Growth• Population is so high because birthrates
have not declined as fast as death rates.
![Page 15: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Birth Rate• In some areas (ex. Asia,
Africa, Latin America) the birthrate is high b/c of cultural beliefs about marriage, family, and the value of children.

Why have death rates gone down?
• Improved health care
• Abundance of food
• Better living conditions
• Cultural attitudes
![Page 21: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Natural Increase• The difference between an
area’s birthrate and death rate
• This does not include immigration or emigration

Challenges with population growth
• Doubling time: the amount of years it takes a population to double in size
• Challenges:
– Difficulty producing enough food to feed them
– Use up resources more quickly
– Population unevenly distributed by age

Composition or StructureComposition or Structure
• The Composition or Structure of a population is determined by its makeup in terms of demographics –Age–Gender–Education–Marital Status–etc.
![Page 38: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Age-Gender PyramidAge-Gender Pyramid• This type of pyramid displays the % of each age
group in the total population (normally done in 5 year groups) by a horizontal bar whose length represents its share of the population.– It instantly conveys the demographic situation of a
country
– In LDCs, pyramids actually look like a pyramid.– In MDCs, pyramids look more like a rectangle with a
slight bulge in the middle (reflecting the aging of the population…which creates problems of its own…)

Population Distribution• is the pattern of human settlement
• People live on 30% of land b/c much of the earth’s land is inhospitable
• Most people live where there is fertile soil, available water, & a climate w/o harsh extremes
• Asia alone has 60% of the earth’s people
![Page 45: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Population DensityPopulation Density• The average number of people living on
a square mile of land• How do we figure this out?
– Take the population of a country• Ex: U.S. 310,414,105 for U.S.
– Divide by the number of square miles• Ex: 3,537,441 mi² for United States
– Equals: Population Density• United States: 88 people per mi²

ResourcesResources
Areas rich in resources (coal, oil, wood,
fishing, etc.) tend to be
densely populated (ex. Western Europe)
Areas with few resources tend to
be sparsely populated
(ex. The Sahel)
ClimateClimate
Areas with temperate climates tend to be
densely populated as there is enough rain
and heat to grow crops (ex. UK)
Areas with extreme climates of hot and
cold tend to be sparsely populated (ex. Sahara
Desert)

Population Movement• Urbanization
- growth of city populations brought about by migration
- changes that come w/ increase in population
• About ½ of the world’s population live in cities
• Population of Mexico City rose from 5 million to 18 million from 1960 to 2000
![Page 50: World Population](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814dc8550346895dbb1dbb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Movement also occurs between countries• People who move
from one country to another are called Emigrants
in their homeland and Immigrants
in their new country
• Refugees – people fleeing to another country to escape persecution or disaster
• Internally Displaced – people fleeing to another place within the SAME country to escape persecution or disaster (ex. Katrina victims fleeing New Orleans and coming to Houston.)
