Study Notes
Importance of Population Study
- The population of a country is its real wealth, as they utilize resources and decide policies.
- A country's population is a crucial aspect of its identity.
Distribution of Population
- The world's population is unevenly distributed, with 90% of the population occupying only 10% of the land area.
- The 10 most populous countries contribute to 60% of the world's population, with 6 of these countries located in Asia.
Patterns of Population Distribution
- The term population distribution refers to the way people are spaced over the earth's surface.
- The crude birth rate (CBR) is the number of live births per thousand population in a year.
- The crude death rate (CDR) is the number of deaths per thousand population in a year.
Migration and Population Change
- Migration is the movement of people from one place to another, leading to changes in population size.
- The place of origin shows a decrease in population, while the place of destination shows an increase.
- Migration can be permanent, temporary, or seasonal.
Components of Population Change
- The three components of population change are births, deaths, and migration.
- Natural growth of population is the difference between births and deaths in a particular region.
- Actual growth of population is the combination of natural growth and migration.
Population Growth Rate
- The growth rate of population is the change of population expressed in percentage.
- Positive growth of population occurs when the birth rate is more than the death rate or when people migrate permanently.
- Negative growth of population occurs when the birth rate falls below the death rate or people migrate to other countries.
Spatial Pattern of Population Change
- The human population has increased more than ten times in the past 500 years.
- The population has increased four times in the twentieth century alone.
- The doubling time of the world population is 12 years, from 5 billion to 6 billion.
Population Growth in Different Regions
- Population growth is low in developed countries compared to developing countries.
- There is a negative correlation between economic development and population growth.
- A small annual rate of population change can lead to a large population change when applied to a large population.
