Expansive Population Pyramid

A population pyramid that shows a wide base, representing a large number of young people and a narrow top, indicating a small number of older people. This shape is typical of countries with high birth rates and death rates, and rapid population growth.

Declining Population Pyramid

A population pyramid with a narrow base and a wide top, representing a shrinking population. This shape indicates low birth rates and high life expectancies.

Stationary Population Pyramid

A population pyramid with a relatively even distribution of people across age groups, indicating a stable population with low birth and death rates.

Dependency Load

The proportion of a population that is dependent on others for support, typically comprising children and the elderly.

Study Notes

Changing Populations

  • Population Pyramids: Different types include expansive, stationary, and declining.
  • Dependency Load & Working Population: People not in the labor force (under 15 or over 64) are part of the dependency load. Working population (15-64) earn wages and support themselves and others.
  • Population Distribution & Density: Distribution shows where people live (patterns), while density measures the number of people per area.
  • Birth Rate: Number of live births per 1000 people in a given time period.
  • Death Rate: Number of deaths per 1000 people in a given time period.
  • Immigration Rate: Number of immigrants moving into a country per 1000 people.
  • Emigration Rate: Number of people leaving a country per 1000 people.
  • Net Migration: Difference between immigration and emigration rates (can be positive or negative).
  • Natural Increase: Difference between birth rate and death rate.
  • Population Growth Rate: Rate at which a population increases; higher numbers indicate significant growth.
  • Doubling Time: Time it takes for a population to double in size.
  • Push Factors: Factors that drive people away from a country (e.g., war).
  • Pull Factors: Factors that attract people to a country (e.g., good economy).

Immigration & Refugees

  • Immigration: Permanent move to a foreign country.
  • Refugees: People fleeing their country due to issues like war, accidents, terrorism, segregation, social exclusion, or persecution.
  • Family Reunification: People immigrating to be with family members already in another country.

Development Levels

  • Development Levels: Categorizes countries based on economic, social, and political factors.
  • Quality of Life Indicators: Examples include life expectancy and literacy rate, indicating a nation's overall health and education levels.
  • Income Levels: Average income and income distribution reflect economic stability and financial well-being.
  • Employment Rate: Percentage of working-age people employed, showing job availability and economic health.
  • Healthcare Access: Availability and quality of healthcare services, reflecting the health of a population.
  • Housing Quality: Availability, affordability, and quality of housing.

Questions to Consider

  • Developing to Developed: Ways a country can improve from developing to developed (access to healthcare, strong economies, advanced infrastructure).
  • Newly Industrialized Countries: Countries experiencing rapid industrial growth and economic improvements.

Population Pyramids

  • Expansive Pyramid: Wide base, narrow top; high birth and death rates.
  • Stable Pyramid: Even distribution, lower birth and death rates.
  • Declining Pyramid: Narrow base; low birth and death rates.
  • Characteristics of each type: Base width, top shape, and general form depict the population's age structure & health. Population Pyramids help in visualizing population trends, predicting future needs (employment, healthcare), understanding societal changes etc.

Environmental Quality, Social Services, and Access to Resources

  • Environmental Quality: Factors like air, water, green spaces, and pollution levels.
  • Social Services: Availability of welfare, childcare, and support for the elderly.
  • Access to Clean Water: Proportion of the population with access to safe drinking water.
  • Cultural and Recreational Opportunities: Availability of cultural institutions, parks, and recreational facilities.
  • Transportation: Accessibility and efficiency of public transport.

Doubling Time, Growth Rate Calculation

  • Doubling Time: Calculated using the formula 70/Growth Rate.
  • Growth Rate: Rate of population increasing, derived from Birth Rate, Deaths Rate, Immigration/Emigration and Net Migration.
