| 11022013657 | Cohort | A population group unified by a specific common characteristic, such as age, and subsequently treated as a statistical unit. | 3 | |
| 11022017619 | Demographic equation | The formula that calculates population change. The formula finds the increase (or decrease) in a population. The formula is found by doing births minus deaths plus (or minus) net migration. This is important because it helps to determine which stage in the demographic transition model a country is in. | 4 | |
| 11022028572 | Demographic momentum | this is the tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution. This is important because once this happens a country moves to a different stage in the demographic transition model. | 5 | |
| 11022037958 | demographic regions | Regions grouped together by the stage of the demographic transition model that most countries in the region are in. Cape Verde (Africa) is in Stage 2 (High Growth), Chile (Latin America) is in Stage 3 (Moderate Growth), and Denmark (Europe) is in Stage 4 (Low Growth). This is important because it shows how different parts of the world are in different stages of the demographic transition | 6 | |
| 11022059439 | demographic transition model | a model of how the size of a population changes as a country develops its economy |  | 7 |

| 11022102673 | diffusion of fertility control | The diffusion of fertility control is spread throughout the world. In the U.S it's below 2.1 in much of Africa it is above 4, if South America is between 2 and 3, in Europe it is below 2.1, in China and Russia it is below 2.1, and in much of the Middle East it is above 4. This is important because its shows how many kids a mother is having thus helping to see where the countries are growing rapidly and where countries are leveling off. | 9 | |
| 11022110511 | disease diffusion | How disease spreads in a population. | 10 | |

| 11022130947 | Epidemiological transition model | The theory that says that there is a distinct cause of death in each stage of the demographic transition model. It can help explain how a country's population changes so dramatically. | 15 | |

| 11022205858 | Neo-Malthusians | People who believed in Malthusian Theory and in the idea that population was not only outstripping food but other resources | 24 | |
| 11022210277 | overpopulation | too many people in one place for the resources available | 25 | |
