    Study Notes

    Overview & Definitions

    • Global population is the total number of people living on Earth at a given time.
    • In 2023, the global population was estimated to be 8 billion.
    • Mobility demography studies the movement of people across regions or countries, and how this movement impacts demographic patterns.
    • Demography is the statistical study of human populations, especially in relation to size, density, distribution, and vital statistics.
    • Vital statistics are data related to births, deaths, marriages, health, and disease.
    • The global population continues to grow, although this growth rate is declining in many regions.
    • Population growth is influenced by births, deaths, fertility rates, and stagnation or decline.
    • Age structure considers the distribution of age groups within a population.
    • Elderly, young, dependency ratio, and age composition are concepts within age structure.
    • Urbanization refers to the shift from rural to urban areas, driven by development and expansion.
    • Demographic factors influencing mobility include age, ethnicity, gender, marital status, educational attainment, employment, household income, living situation, language, family and dependents, media consumption, preference, and religion.
    • Types of movement include voluntary movement, forced movement, and seasonal movement.
    • Economic impact of mobility can be both positive and negative.
    • Positive impacts include filling labor shortages, increasing economic diversity, driving economic growth, promoting innovation and development, increasing skills in the workforce, and transferring knowledge through migration.
    • Negative impacts include labor competition, strain on public services, brain drain, increased housing market costs, economic instability, and the potential for job displacement.
    • Remittances can contribute to poverty alleviation, stabilize foreign exchanges, and incentivize migration.

    Connections Between Global Population and Mobility-Demography

    • Population dynamics (growth and age structure) influence migration patterns.
    • Urbanization and migration are interdependent. Urban growth often attracts migrants, creating a feedback loop where more migration spurs further urban development.
    • Both urbanization and migration are influenced by the demographic transition model, which explains how countries shift from high to lower birth and death rates as they develop economically.
    • Demographic Transition Theory: explains the stages of population change in a society.
    • Push-Pull Theory: analyzes the factors that drive people away from their home (push factors) and attract them to a new location (pull factors).
    • World Systems Theory: explores global power dynamics and how they impact population movement and development.

    • Baguio City is a city in the Philippines that attracts students from across the country.
    • Students make up over 25% of the city's population.
    • Many students work part-time in the hospitality industry to support their studies.
