|

|
demographic transition
|
a change in population over time stage 1-low growth (high suffering, population not growing, high birth and mortality rate) stage 2-high growth (death rate drops, birth rate remains high) stage 3-moderate growth(death rate declines, and birth rates decline-medical advances enable people to live longer) stage 4-low growth/stationary phase(low TFR and no growth-women are educated in these countries, which leads to the low TFR)

|
TFR
|
the Total Fertility Rate is the number of children born to each woman. 2.1 is the number that must achieved to reach replacement level
|
|
|
megalopolis

replacement level
|
2.1 the number of children each woman needs to have in order to keep the population even.

|
|

|
China next to rivers for agriculture, India next to rivers for agriculture, Europe people live near coalfields, Megalopolis (North America) people gather around the big cities, which are on the coast
|

what can governments do to affect population?
|
three different population policies: Expansive-encourages population growth (Sweden has a year long maternity leave for mothers who have babies), Eugenic-favors one race/culture over others (Nazi Germany), Restrictive-limits birth rates(China-one child policy)
|
|
|
do all countries with a low TFR encourage immigration? Why or why not?
|
no, some countries want low growth, like China. some countries do not want any immigration, like Japan. Japan wants to keep its culture, and China most likely doesn't have the room to accept immigrants.

|
what type of country is represented in the population pyramid below? How do we know?
|
this pyramid represents a wealthy country. We know this because there is a low birth rate and a low death rate. The low birth rate indicates that women are educated, and the low death rate indicates that they have the money to develop and perform medicine. This is an aging population. This is an example of a country like the United States, or Switzerland.
