  1. Asia

  2. Africa

  3. Europe

population density

Number of individuals per unit area

New cards
9

population distribution

Description of locations on Earth's surface where populations live

New cards
10

Which has a higher Arithmetic density? United States or Singapore?

Singapore

New cards
11

Which has a higher Agricultural density? United States or Singapore?

United States, for there is more arable land.

New cards
12

New cards
13

carrying capacity

Largest number of individuals of a population that a environment can support.

New cards
14

When a population spreads out what concerns does it create left heavily populated prime city

lack of service and good for people, less schools and healthcare. Pollution, overpopulation, lack of jobs

New cards
15

examples of exceeding carrying capacity

arable land is damaged, people start dying, and the environment will get destroyed.

New cards
16

Population Pyramid

A bar graph representing the distribution of population by age and sex.

New cards
17

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

New cards
18

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

New cards
19

Natural Increase Rate (NIR)

The percentage by which a population grows in a year

New cards
20

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

The average number of children a woman will have throughout her childbearing years.

New cards
21

infant mortality rate

The percentage of children who die before their first birthday within a particular area or country.

New cards
22

doubling time

New cards
23

Interregional Migration

Permanent movement from one region of a country to another.

New cards
24

Intraregional Migration

Permanent movement within one region of a country.

New cards
25

Demographic Transition Model

A sequence of demographic changes in which a country moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates through time.

New cards
26

stage 1 of demographic transition

Low growth; Very high birth and death rates = 0 NIR; Hunting & gathering, agricultural societies.

New cards
27

stage 2 of demographic transition

High growth; Rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates = very high NIR; Industrial societies or societies that benefit from the medical revolution.

New cards
28

stage 3 of demographic transition

Decreasing growth; Birth rates rapidly decline; death rates continue to decline; NIR moderates; Highly urban societies.

New cards
29

stage 4 of demographic transition

Low Growth: A Modern Industrialized Country with a low CBR, low CDR, and virtually no NIR

New cards
30

stage 5 demographic transition

population decline, very low CBR, increasing CDR, negative NIR...Japan is one of the first places to reach stage 5, its population is getting smaller, the poulation is getting older so that is why CDRs are going up, this means a shortage of workers to support the aging population

New cards
31

Sustainability

The ability to keep in existence or maintain. A sustainable ecosystem is one that can be maintained

New cards
32

pronatalist policies

government policies that encourage child birth such as tax breaks and flexible work hours

New cards
33

antinatalist policies

seek to reduce birth rates and strongly encourage or require that women limit their fertility. Ex. China only allows 1 child to be birthed.

New cards
34

cultural shift

change in society's dominant views, morals, and behaviors

New cards
35

GDP per capita
