Interactive map Shows where more people are in the world. such as Region, Continent, Countries. |
Cartogram of world population The larger the county , The more people they have. |
|
Population Density Shows where the most places on earth is crowded. |
Clusters of High Population: South Asia |
|
Clusters of Population: Europe |
Clusters of Population: East Asia |
|
Clusters of Population: Southeast Asia |
Sparsely population regions Dry lands wet lands cold lands high lands All of these are considered non-ecumene areas. Or areas where humans have a hard time inhabiting land permanently. Areas that are settled are referred to as ecumene |
|
Arithmetic Density Total number of objects in an area |
Physiological Density Number of people supported by a unit area of arable land (land able to be farmed) |
|
Agricultural Density Ratio of the number of farmers to amount of arable land |
Crude Birth Rate (CBR) – total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society. |
|
Crude Death Rate (CDR) – total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society. |
Dependency Ratio
Defined as the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive (working) years. |
|
The Demographic Transition Model It is a model consisting of four stages that helps to explain the rising and falling of natural increase over time in a country. |
Demographic Transition Model Stage 1: Low Growth Marked by very high birth and death rates |
|
Demographic Transition Model Stage 2: High Growth Marked by rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates = High natural increase |
Demographic Transition Model Stage 3: Moderate Growth Marked by rapid decline in birth rates and steady decline in death rates = moderate natural increase |
|
Demographic Transition Model Stage 4:Low GrowthMarked by very low birth and death rates = stagnant or population decrease |
Demographic Transition Possible Stage 5: Decline Very low CBR (crude birth rate) Increasing CDR (crude death rate) More elderly people than young persons Negative NIR (natural increase rate) |
|
Epidemiologic Transition Model Stage 1: Infectious Disease and Famine (High CDR)Main cause of death: infectious and parasitic diseases |
Epidemiologic Transition Model Stage 2: Receding (fewer) Pandemic (widespread diseases) (Rapidly Declining CDR) Pandemic is a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high proportion of the population. |
|
Epidemiologic Transition Model Stage 3: Degenerative Diseases (Moderately Declining CDR) Characterized by…Decrease in deaths from infectious diseases.Increase in chronic disorders associated with aging.Cardiovascular (heart) diseasesCancer |
Epidemiologic Transition Model Stage 4: Delayed Degenerative Diseases (Low but Increasing CDR) Characterized by…Deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases and cancer delayed because of modern medicine treatments. |
|
Epidemiologic Transition Model EvolutionInfectious disease microbes evolve and establish a resistance to drugs and insecticides.Antibiotics and genetic engineering contributes to the emergence of new strains of viruses and bacteria.PovertyInfectious diseases are more prevalent in poor areas because of presence of unsanitary conditions and inability to afford drugs needed for treatment.Increased ConnectionsAdvancements in modes of transportation, especially air travel, makes it easier for an individual infected in one country to be in another country before exhibiting symptoms. |
Health Care Health conditions are different around the world, mostly, because countries possess different resources to care for people who are sick. |
|
Expenditures ($$ spent) on Health Care Health care was more than 15 percent of total government expenditures in Europe and North America and less than 5 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. |
