Study Notes
Population Concepts
- Birth Rate: Number of babies born per 1,000 people annually.
- Example: A rate of 15 means 15 babies per 1,000 people.
- Death Rate: Number of deaths per 1,000 people annually.
- Example: A rate of 10 means 10 deaths per 1,000 people.
- Population Growth Rate: Difference between birth and death rates.
- Positive: Births exceed deaths.
- Even: Births equal deaths.
- Negative: Deaths exceed births
Population Growth Rates & Country Data
- High Birth Rates & High Growth: Developing countries.
- Examples: Ghana, Mozambique.
- Low Birth Rates & Negative/Low Growth: Developed countries.
- Examples: Germany, Japan.
- Variables: Countries also consider immigration and emigration.
- Birth, death & growth rate figures are compared between countries.
Infant Mortality Rate
- Definition: Number of babies who die before turning one, per 1,000 live births.
- Example: A rate of 50 means 50 infants die per 1,000 live births.
- Higher Rates: Poorer, developing nations. Examples: Mozambique, Central African Republic
- Lower Rates: Wealthier, developed nations. Examples: Germany, Japan.
Life Expectancy
- Definition: Average lifespan of people in a country.
- High Life Expectancy: Wealthier Developed Countries (e.g., Germany, Japan)
- Lower Life Expectancy: Poorer Developing countries (e.g., Mozambique, Central African Republic)
Population Pyramids
- Purpose: Illustrates age and gender distribution in a population.
- Structure:
- Males on left, females on right
- Divided into 5-year age groups
- Youngest at the bottom, oldest at the top.
- Developing Countries: High birth rates, shorter life expectancy; wide base, narrow top - more young people
- Developed Countries: Low birth rates, longer life expectancy; narrower base, wider middle and top - more older people.
Summary of Population Trends By Country
- Descriptions: Each country's birth rate, death rate, life expectancy, and population growth are summarised. Examples include Ghana, Mozambique, South Africa, Brazil, Germany, and Japan, and Central African Republic.
