The annual number of live births per 1,000 people in a population.

New cards
3

Crude death rate (CDR)

The annual number of deaths per 1,000 people in a population.

New cards
4

Green Revolution

Increased food and nutrition, access to sanitation, education, and healthcare.

New cards
5

Rate of natural increase (RNI) formula

Birth Rate - Death Rate / 10%.

New cards
6

Net Migration Rate (NMR)

The number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants for every thousand members of the population.

New cards
7

Total fertility rate (TFR)

The estimated average number of children born to each female of birthing age.

New cards
8

Dependency ratio

The number of people too young or too old to work compared to the number of people in the workforce.

New cards
9

Demographic transition model (DTM)

A theory of how population changes over time, providing insights into migration, fertility, economic development, industrialization, urbanization, labor, politics, and the role of women.

New cards
10

Epidemiological transition model (ETM)

A model that accounts for development due to increasing population growth rates caused by medical advances.

New cards
11

Stage One - DTM

Historically characterized by pre-agricultural societies engaged in subsistence farming and transhumance, with high birth and death rates.

New cards
12

Stage Two - DTM

Typically agriculturally based economies with high birth rates, declining death rates, and rapid population growth.

New cards
13

Stage Three - DTM

Historically where most "industrialized" or manufacturing-based countries were found, with declining birth and death rates due to urbanization and fertility control.

New cards
14

Stages Four and Five - DTM

Converging birth and death rates resulting in limited population growth or decline, with service industries driving the economy.

New cards
15

Malthusian Theory

The theory that global population would eventually outgrow the food supply, but food production has continued to stay ahead of population growth.

New cards
16

Sustainability

The ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

New cards
17

Population Pyramids

Graphical representations of the population structure, gender, and age distribution of a country or place.

New cards
18

Arithmetic density

The number of people per square unit of land.

New cards
19

Physiologic density

The number of people per square unit of farmland.

New cards
20

A major concern in resource-poor regions and globally. It leads to the depletion of nonrenewable energy sources and decreased personal space.

New cards
21

Migration

New cards
22

New cards
29

Chain Migration

The process where immigrants move to a new country because of existing connections with family or friends who have already settled there.

New cards
30

Synonym for Birth Rate

Natality

New cards
31

Rate of Natural Increase

Difference between the birth rate and the death rate in a population.

New cards

New cards
33

How long it would take for a country to double in size.

New cards

35

New cards
36

counter migration

when a migration flow produces a movement in the opposite direction

ex. migrants from mexico coming to usa, and migrants from usa coming to mexico

New cards
37

intervening obstacles

barriers that make it harder for migrants to reach their desired location

New cards
38

pronatalist policies

New cards
39
