Chapter 2 Population 1 Population: A Critical Issue A study of population is important in understanding a number of issues in human geography. So our first main issue is a study of population. The Key Issues your book mentions are: 1. Where is the world?s population distributed? 2. Where has the world?s population increased? 3. Why is population increasing at different rates in different countries? 4. Why might the world face an overpopulation problem? 2 Study of Population The study of population is critically important for three reasons: The world?s population increased at a faster rate during the second half of the twentieth century than ever before in history. Virtually all global population growth is concentrated in less developed countries.

Population Pyramids = graphic device that represents a population?s age and sex composition. Pyramid describes diagram?s shape for many countries in 1800?s when was created. A broad base of younger age groups and progressively narrowing to apex as older Populations were thinned by death. Now there are many different shapes. Quickly growing population of Kenya ? jas ,most people in lowest age cohorts Percentage in older age groups declines successively with markedly sloping sides. Typically female life expectancy is decreased in older cohorts of less developed countries ? 50 for Kenya ? proportion of females in older age groups is less than in Sweden or U.S.

4) Define each of the following terms: Demographic transition- Hypothesis that countries, as they become industrialized, have declines in death rates followed by declines in birth rates Demography-the application of principles from population ecology to the study of statistical change in human populations Industrial stage-3rd stage of demographic transition. Birth rates fall b/c children lose their economic value, women have employment opportunities outside of the home and access to birth control. Population growth is reduced Life expectancy-the average # of years an individual in a particular age group is likely to continue to live Natural rate of population change-change due to birth and death rates alone, excluding migration

The most populous country in the Southeast Asia region is Indonesia ? Physiological density is the number of people per area suitable for agriculture ?
