1

Demography

the study of population (2.1)

New cards
2

Carrying Capacity

the number of people that can live on a certain plane given the available resources (2.1)

New cards
3

4 major population clusters on Earth

east Asia, south Asia, southeast Asia, and Europe (2.1)

New cards
4

4 human factors that influence the distribution of population

economic, political, cultural, historical (2.1)

New cards
5

Ecumene

the portion of Earth's surface inhabited by people (2.1)

New cards
6

Malthusian Theory

Thomas Malthus; states that population grows exponentially while food supply grows arithmetically– population grows faster than agriculture can catch up with (2.1)

New cards
7

Neo-Malthusians

belief that population will eventually crash due to lack of resources to accommodate population (2.1)

New cards
8

Pronatalist Policy vs. Antinatalist Policy

supports higher birth rates vs. supports lower birth rates (2.1)

New cards
9

Arithmetic Population Equation

total # of people / total land area (2.2)

New cards
10

Physiological Population Equation

total # of people / total arable land (2.2)

New cards
11

Agricultural Population Equation

total # of farmers / total arable land (2.2)

New cards
12

Natural Increase Rate (NIR)

the % by which a population grows in a year, does not include immigration; found by CBR / CDR (2.2)

New cards
13

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

total # of live births in a year per 1000 people (2.2)

New cards
14

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

total # of deaths in a year per 1000 people (2.2)

New cards
15

Doubling Time

the amount of time it will take for a population to double in its current size; found by 70 / NIR (2.2)

New cards
16

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

average number of babies a woman will have in child-bearing years– ages 15-49; found by the sum of the age-specific birth rates multiplied by 5 (2.2)

New cards
17

Zero Population Growth

when TFR = 2.1 (2.2)

New cards
18

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)

of infants less than one year old deaths per 1000 births (2.2)

New cards
19

Cohorts

single bar left or right of the origin line on a population pyramid (2.3)

New cards
20

Sex Ratio

of males vs. # of females– 1.05 is world sex ratio (2.3 & 2.5)

New cards
21

(Pre/Post)Reproductive Ages

pre-reproductive ages: 0-14 reproductive ages: 14-44 post-reproductive ages: 45+ (2.3)

New cards
22

4 common shapes of population pyramids

triangle, extended triangle, column, reduced pentagon (2.3)

New cards
23

Demographic Momentum

when the birth rates drop but population stays growing/steady (2.3)

New cards
24

Dependency Ratio

of non-workers (too old or too young) vs. # in workforce (2.3)

New cards
25

Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

graph that refers to the historical shift from high birth rates and high death rates in societies with minimal technology, education (especially of women) and economic development, to low birth rates and low death rates in societies with advanced technology, education, and economic development, as well as the stages between these two scenarios (2.4)
