Prehistoric Periods
- Little information available on non-settled groups
- Subsistence based on hunting and gathering
- Estimates for populations
- Short life expectancy (approx. 20-30 years)
- Low population growth rate
- World population did not exceed 10 million
Prehistoric Periods (Factors)**
- Natural fertility and no contraception
- Nutrition
- Health conditions
- Climate conditions
- Natural disasters
- Epidemics
- Famine and wars
Agricultural Revolution
- Agricultural production and animal domestication started around 8000 BC
- Diet shifted from hunting and gathering to farming, roots, and fruits
- Important technological revolution: Development of agriculture
- Population growth accelerated due to settled life and agricultural advancements
- Increase in food supply supported growing populations
Agricultural Production (Continued)
- Roman Empire population estimated at 50 million at the beginning of Christianity
- Significant populations existed in China and India
Industrial Revolution
- Industrial revolution happened in the 18th century
- Reduction in mortality rate, especially for infants and children
- Improved hygiene conditions
- Healthier nutrition
- Hygenic environment
- Progress in chemistry
- Controlled fertility using late marriages or abstinence
- Birth control began in upper-class families (1780s) in France
Industrial Revolution (Factors)
- Clothing improvements for protection against weather.
- Developments in weaving and related industries
- Improvements to farming methods
- Increased food production
- Developments in pharmaceutical production.
World Wars and Epidemics
-
World Wars: Significant population losses in wars, impacting population growth
-
Wars: Families postponed having children due to economic and social uncertainty
-
Migrations: Large migration movements due to refugees and war-related border changes .
-
Epidemics:
- 1918 Spanish Flu: Spread worldwide, 50-100 million deaths, high mortality rates among young adults, and socioeconomic disruption.
- HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Emerged in the early 1980s, significant devastation in Africa, continuing health problem.
- According to the Turkish Ministry of Health, 41,732 people were diagnosed with HIV between 1985 and 2023. 81.5% of the cases were male. Most cases were found in the 25-29 and 30-34 age groups.
-
COVID-19 Pandemic: Worldwide impacts, significant challenges to health systems, deaths, global economic recession, increased unemployment, and limitations to education and social activities.
Various Population Policies
-
Early Ages:
- Confucius: Increase in population limits productivity and living standards, leading to conflict.
- Plato and Aristotle: Ideal size for city-states is necessary for economic sufficiency without hindering governance.
-
Middle Ages:
- Romans: Population growth aids in military strength and state protection. Encouraged marriage to boost birth rates
Malthus' Hypothesis
- Population grows geometrically, while food and resources increase arithmetically.
- Population growth outpaces food production, resulting in poverty, hunger, and war if growth isn't controlled.
- Law of diminishing returns – further investment in capital goods and enhanced agricultural methods leads to diminished productivity
- Controlled by either protecting measures (moral restraints/contraception) or positive factors (famine, war).
Demographic Transition Theory
- It describes the shifting patterns of fertility and mortality rates in societies as they transition towards industrialization.
- Societies begin with high birth and death rates to societies with low birth and death rates.
- It is a cyclical trend of development showing stages from Pre-transition to Final Process.
Population Growth in the World
- World population growth has not been uniform over time.
- Growth accelerated in the last few centuries mainly due to better life expectancy and improved medical technologies
- Significant increase in population after the Industrial Revolution and improved living conditions. A substantial increase in the population growth rate has been achieved in developing countries in particular.
- Doubling time has shortened over time
Additional Notes
- Data on world population, life expectancy, and demographic trends
- Figures and data from the presentation
