Understanding Human Resources

Human resource = Ultimate resource developed by healthy, educated and motivated people Population distribution = The way in which people are spread across the earth's surface Population density = Number of people living in a unit area of the earth's surface Uneven distribution of population = Some areas are crowded while others are sparely populated

Asia = More than 60% Africa = More than 10% Europe = Percentage not specified North America = Percentage not specified

South and southeast Asia, Europe, and northeastern North America = Crowded areas High latitude areas, tropical deserts, high mountains, and equatorial forests = Sparely populated areas North of the Equator = More densely populated than south of the Equator Two continents Asia and Africa = Home to almost three-quarters of the world's population

<p>Nature's bounty = Significant when people find it useful Educational levels, age, and sex of human resources = Differences in distribution Change in numbers and characteristics of human resources = Dynamic nature of human resources More than 90% of world's population living in about 30% of land surface = Extremely uneven distribution</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Healthy, educated, and motivated people = Develop resources as per their requirements People with demands and abilities = Turn nature's bounty into significant resources Spread of people across the earth surface = Known as pattern of population distribution Number of people living in a unit area of the earth's surface = Expressed as population density</p> Signup and view all the answers
