Study Notes
1st Partial: Society and Economics of Modern Mexico
- Social Sciences: Study of population quantitatively (based on numbers) and qualitatively (based on traits).
- Demography: Studies population numerically, answering "how many?".
- Measures: Birth rate, death rate.
- Sociology: Studies population qualitatively, based on characteristics, answering "what is it like?".
- Measures: Traditions, customs.
- Geography: Studies population location in a physical space, answering "where is it?".
- Measures: Natural resources, climate, location.
- Statistics: Analyzes population changes numerically using demographic data to predict future trends, answering "what will it be like?".
- Measures: Population growth projections.
Branches of Study
- Health: Aims to reduce mortality and chronic diseases.
- Preventive Measures
- Corrective Measures
- Relevant Articles: 113, 29, 21
- Security: The state's duty to protect citizens with policies created by different groups.
- Relevant Articles: 113
- Education: Basic education is provided for free, and advanced education is available as a private option.
- Relevant Articles: 3, 31
- Work: Limits the employer/employee relationship, seeking fair conditions.
- Relevant Articles: 123, 5
- Housing/Living:
- Environment: Factors affecting animals/population.
- Theory of Population:
- Malthus: Population increases geometrcly, resources arithmetically, leading to over-population
- Neo-Malthusian: Introduced controlled birth control to reduce population growth.
Relevant Concepts
- Social Classes: Categorizes the population by income.
- High: > $10,000/month per capita
- Medium: $5000 - $9999/month per capita
- Low: < $5000/month per capita
- Social Strata: Classifies population based on specifics: education, employment, housing, location.
- Based on classifications: High, Medium, Low, with the prefixes "high", "low", etc for each.
- Population Aging: Dramatic decrease in birth rates.
- Consequences: Labor shortages, increased public expenditure, urbanization issues.
- Solutions: Attract immigrants, support young families.
- Economics: First theory of population focuses exclusively on humans, stating an inherent need for resources.
- Propose/created by Karl Marx.
- Demographic Transition: A theoretical model describing the changes in birth and death rates as a country develops over time. Usually, a country passes through stages marked by high birth rates and deaths, followed by falling death rates due to improvements in sanitation and medicine, and finally falling birth rates as more women enter the work force.
Other Concepts
- Housing: Availability of resources in urban areas.
- Family Planning: Important aspect in controlling population growth.
- Use of Contraceptives: Important for controlling population.
