Modeling Population Change
- Demography is the study of population change.
- Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
- Stage 1: High stationary (high birth and death rates)
- Stage 2: Early expanding (high birth rates, falling death rates)
- Stage 3: Late expanding (declining birth and death rates)
- Stage 4: Low stationary (low birth and death rates)
- Stage 5: Declining (birth rates lower than death rates)
Social Issues Caused by Population Change
- Overcrowding (case study of Lagos, Nigeria)
- High youth unemployment
- Sanitation issues in slums
- Crime rates
- High birth rates, large proportion of young people in the population
- Difficult to provide education or jobs to young people
- Strain on resources in the city
- Case study of an aging population in Hong Kong (high elderly)
- Low birth rates
- Case study of declining population in Detroit, USA (loss of manufacturing jobs)
- Lack of infrastructure and jobs leading to crime and high unemployment
- Abandonment of buildings.
