Study Notes
Demographics
- Demographics are statistical characteristics of a population, including age and income.
Infant Mortality Rate
- Infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
Replacement-Level Fertility Rate
- Replacement-level fertility rate is 2.1, the rate needed for a stable population.
Total Fertility Rate
- Total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime.
Factors Influencing Life Expectancy
- Infant mortality rate significantly influences life expectancy.
GDP per Capita
- GDP per capita represents the goods and services produced per person in a year.
Demographic Transition Stages
- Pre-industrial stage: high birth and death rates.
- Early transition: high birth rates, declining death rates.
- Late transition: declining birth rates, low death rates.
- Industrial: low birth and death rates.
- Post-industrial: very low birth and death rates.
Population Growth Influences
- Falling death rates lead to rapid population growth during the early transition stage of the demographic transition.
Immigration and Emigration
- Immigration is the movement of people into a region.
- Emigration is the movement of people out of a region.
Population Pyramids
- Population pyramids with a wide base and narrow top indicate rapid population growth.
- Population pyramids with an inverted triangle shape indicate negative growth.
Pronatalist Pressures
- Pronatalist pressures are cultural and economic factors that increase birth rates.
Antinatalist Pressures
- Antinatalist pressures are factors that decrease birth rates, often economic.
Key Economic Issues
- Childcare expenses are a significant economic cost.
Geographic Regions
- Mediterranean Basin refers to an area between Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Medical Advancements
- Vaccines involve introducing weakened pathogens to build immunity.
- Chlorination of water eliminated many waterborne illnesses.
Industrial Revolution Impacts
- The Industrial Revolution saw the development of new methods for controlling waterborne diseases through medical advancements.
Population Control Methods
- China's original population control policy involved limiting family size.
