Demography

distribution of human pops, & the causes & consequences of changes in these

Good news

• Rate of increase for world’s population from 1963 – 2008 dropped from 2.2% to 1.22%

FACTORS AFFECTING HUMAN

POPULATION SIZE

• The world’s 10 most populous

(11)

Declining Fertility Rates:

Fewer Babies per Women

• The average number of children that a woman bears has dropped sharply.

• Decline not low enough to stabilize the world’s population in near future.

Replacement-level fertility: number of children

a couple must bear to replace themselves.

Total fertility rate (TFR): average number of

(12)

Declining Fertility Rates:

Fewer Babies per Women

• The replacement level to sustain a population is 2.0 children.

• In 2008, the average global Total Fertility Rate was 2.6 children per woman.

– 1.6 in developed countries (down from 2.5 in 1950).

1. Industrialization/urbanization

2. Women educated/worked outside home Demographic transition –shift from high

birth rate to low birth rate

(14)

• 1956-1972 began to drop off

more women worked outside home, desired family size dropped

• 1977-2000 Echo boom – when baby boomers begin to have children

Case Study: Fertility and Birth

Rates in the United States

• Nearly 2.9 million people were added to the U.S. in 2006:

– 59% occurred because of births outnumbering deaths.

(17)

Factors affecting fertility and birth rates 1. Children as labor force

2. Cost of raising and educating children

3. Availability of pension systems 4. Urbanization

5. Education/employment opportunities for women

6. Infant mortality rate

7. Average age at marriage

8. Availability of legal abortions 9. Reliable birth control methods

(18)

Factors affecting death rates

1. Increased food supply and distribution 2. Better nutrition

3. Advances in medicine such as vaccines and antibiotics

(19)

Indicators of overall health

1. Life expectancy – average # of yrs a newborn can expect to live

(20)

Good news

• Global life expectancy – 48 (1955) to 68 (2008) in developed countries to 77

in developing countries to 67

Bad News

(21)

Infant mortality

• Best single measure of a society’s quality of life

• High infant mortality usually means under nutrition, malnutrition, high incidence of infectious diseases (usually from

(22)

Good news

1965-2008 world’s infant mortality dropped from 20 per 1,000 births to 6.3 in developed countries

and 118 to 59 in developing countries

Bad News

At least 4 million infants die of preventable disease during 1st year of life – most in developing

(23)

US Infant Mortality Rate

Dropped from 165 in 1900 to 6.6 in 2008.>40 countries (Cuba, Taiwan, most of

Europe) have lower infant mortality than US.

Why?

1. Inadequate health care for mother/baby 2. Drug addiction in pregnant women

(24)

Population Age Structure

• Distribution of males and females in each age group – determines how fast a

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE

• Populations with a large proportion of its people in the prereproductive ages 1-14 have a large

Why?

People under age of 15 will move into reproductive years and begin to

Important Statistic

• 28% of people on planet were under 15 in 2008.

Effects of Pop decline from reduced fertility

1. Labor shortages

2. Older people use a larger share of medical care

(33)

Effects from rise in death rates:

• Hunger/malnutrition kills mostly infants/children • AIDS epidemic has killed many young adults • Harmful effects include:

1. Drop in life expectancy

2. Loss of country’s most productive young adult workers

3. Increase in number of orphans

(34)

Possible solutions

• Developed countries can help by:

Reducing spread of AIDS through improved health care/education

(35)

Influencing Pop. Size:

Should we limit population growth?

• Yes: increasing pop means more enviro stress – infectious disease, biodiversity losses, fisheries

depletion, water scarcity, pollution, climate change

• No: world can

support more people, people are valuable resource for solving problems, violation of religious belief,

(36)

Demographic Transition: As countries become economically developed, their birth and death rates tend to decline.

Preindustrial stage: little population growth

due to high infant mortality.

Transitional stage: industrialization begins,

death rates drops and birth rates remain high.

Industrial stage: birth rate drops and

approaches death rate.

Post Industrial stage: birth rate declines

Transition stage bottleneck

• Concern that some developing countries may get stuck in transition state.

• Shortage of skilled workers

• Lack of financial capital/other resources • Large amount of debt

(39)

How family planning helps

• Provides programs on birth spacing, birth control, health care for mothers/infants

Good news:

Responsible for at least 55% of drop in TFRs in developing countries

Reduced # of illegal and legal abortions Cut risk of maternal/fetal death from

(40)

Bad news:

• 42% of all pregnancies in developing countries are unwanted

• Many couples want to limit number of

(41)

Programs to remedy lack of family

planning

• Expanding family planning to teens and unmarried women

• Urging pro-choice and pro-life groups to join forces

• Educating men about the importance of having fewer children and taking more responsibility for raising them

(42)

Women have fewer/healthier

babies when:

• Have access to education • Paying jobs

(43)

Empowering women through

gender equality by:

• Giving full equal rights, giving access to education and paying jobs

will

(44)

Using rewards/penalties

• China: 1 child policy

(45)

China’s Family Planning Program

• Currently, China’s TFR is 1.6 children per women.

• China has moved 300 million people out of poverty.

• Problems:

– Strong male preference leads to gender imbalance. – Average population age is increasing.

(46)

Cutting global pop growth

• The best way to slow population growth is a combination of:

– Investing in family planning. – Reducing poverty.

(47)

1994 Conference on Pop &

Development Goals

1. Universal access to family planning

2. Improve health care for infants, women, children 3. Develop/implement national pop control policies 4. Improve status of women

5. Increase involvement of men in child rearing/family planning

6. Reduce poverty

US: A nation of immigrants

• Currently legal and illegal immigration account for 40% of the country’s annual pop growth.

• Since 1960 53% Latin America, Asia 25%, Europe 14%

(51)

Case Study: U.S. Immigration

• Since 1820, the U.S. has

admitted almost twice as many immigrants and refugees as all other countries combined.

Figure 9-8

(52)

Arguments: Legal/illegal

For: diminishes role of US as place of

opportunity,

immigrants take low-paying menial jobs,

start new businesses, add cultural vitality, help US succeed in global economy

(53)

Study by UN Pop. Division

• If US wants to maintain its current ratio of workers to retirees, will need to absorb

>13 times the current immigration rate through 2050.
