    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.
    • 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.
