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.
Key Concepts Related to Global Population
- 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.
Key Concepts Related to Mobility-Demography
- 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.
Key Theories Related to Population and Mobility
- 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.
