Study Notes
Global Demography
- Global Demography is the study of population size, distribution, composition, and change over time.
- Key elements include natality, mortality, migration, and social mobility.
Trivia
- Quezon City is the most populated city in the Philippines, with a population of 3,278,247.
- The largest immigrant group is Chinese, with an estimated 59,000 registered aliens.
- Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the Philippines.
- Birth rate is 19.378 births per 1000 people.
- Mortality rate is 6.2 deaths per 1000 population.
- Migration rate is -0.593 per 1000 population.
Demography Definition
- Demography is defined as the study of population size, territorial distribution and composition of the population; changes and components of change. These components are identified as natality, mortality, territorial movement (migration), and social mobility (change in social status).
- This definition is the basis for all social sciences.
Demography (Anderson)
- Demography studies population size, growth or decline, and processes (fertility, mortality, migration).
- It examines factors related to population processes, such as diseases, socioeconomic characteristics, family formation, labor force participation, government policies, income/opportunity differences, war, immigration policies, and economic conditions.
- Demography also includes population distribution, which considers the geographic distribution of populations (e.g., rural versus urban areas, among states).
Theories on Demography and Population Growth
- Confucius (500 BC): A large population is beneficial ("helpful" ) for a productive society, but also leads to poverty/hardship if population is too large.
- Plato (400 BC): Population should not rapidly grow or shrink to avoid social disruption. Quality over quantity is stressed, and only fit men are expected to have children.
- Aristotle (400 BC): Population should be limited and moderately-sized to prevent disrupting democratic governance; infanticide/abortion might be necessary to control overpopulation.
- Malthusian Approach: High population growth results from the lack of moral restraint on reproduction. The only acceptable ways to limit fertility is through refraining from premarital sex and delaying marriage until the couple can support their offspring
- Neo-Malthusianism: Population control through contraception is vital for the survival of the human population.
1st Demographic Transition Theory (Notestein)
- The theory is broken down into four stages: pre-industrial society, early transition, late transition, post-transition society.
- Pre-Industrial Society: Death and birth rates are both very high, resulting in minimal population growth due to factors like lack of technology, medicine, poor sanitation, and poor nutrition.
- Early Transition: Death rates decrease due to advancements in medicine, food supply, and sanitation. Birth rates remain high, leading to rapid population growth.
- Late Transition: Death and birth rates begin to fall due to increased awareness and the rise of education. Use and access to contraceptives.
- Post-Transition Society: Both birth and death rates are low. This results in stabilized population.
2nd Demographic Transition Theory (Van de Kaa)
-
The theory focuses on structural, cultural, and technological changes as drivers of demographic shifts.
-
Structural Changes: The growth of the service economy, the development of a welfare state, and the expansion of higher education.
-
Cultural Changes: Secularization (society's shift away from religious influence) and an increase in individualistic values. Also, increase in the importance of self-expression, personal dreams, and self- fulfillment; this leads to people making decisions that differ from traditional norms.
-
Technological Changes: Contraception adoption, progress in assisted reproduction technologies, and the explosion of new information technologies.
-
Additional factors identified by Van de Kaa are rising age at marriage; premarital cohabitation; increases in out-of-wedlock births, and an acceptance of same-sex marriage.
-
Three phases in the theory of Van de Kaa are: Phase I (1955-1970s), Phase II (1971-1985s) and Phase III (1985- today) describing the different stages and changes in demographic patterns.
