Demographics of Indonesia

The population structure of El Salvador has undergone dramatic changes in the past 26 years. The population has aged since the civil war, with far more people reaching higher ages. Fertility is showing signs that it is beginning to decline thanks to decades of family planning initiatives. The outlook for the future is one of continued fertility and mortality decline, but only if they improve their water and sanitation infrastructure. If mortality and fertility continues to decline, El Salvador…

1. The internal structure of the population has undergone disruptive changes in the world before the demographic transition, the population ratio of more than 40% of children, the elderly population aged 65 and above 4% or less, the age structure of the population pyramid is positive, it is the human population fully completed after the demographic transition, the proportion of the population of children dropped to 20%, while the proportion of elderly aged 65 and over population will exceed 20%…

Reading a population pyramid is relatively simple. In the examples below you will see a few different types of data that. The x-axis displays the number of people, and the y-axis is the age group that corresponds with the amount of people. You will also notice that there is a red and black side of the pyramid. Colors may differ with other graphs, but in this case males are in red and females are in black. Population pyramids can display some interesting and useful data. The graphs themselves can…

A Planet with a Population Problem Over seven billion people living on Earth. Over one million living in extreme poverty, and almost one million people starving. Nearly twice as many people being born than dying. The population on Earth is continuously growing, but Earth’s size itself is not. So where are we to put all these people when we run out of space? Resources are being depleted, basic needs are not being met, poverty and starvation rates are sky high, and economies are suffering as well…

Analyzing Demographics There was an increase in the total aging population as well as the 65 and over population from 2012 to 2015. This increase in the older population will affect social and economical interests. Baby boomers are largely responsible for this increase in the older population (U.S. Census Bureau, 20014). With this boom comes change. The older population will become more racially and ethically diverse (U.S. Census Bureau, 20014). With change can come complications and…

Scientist and economist Thomas Malthus collected data that demonstrated that a population typically grows exponentially, while resources usually grow logistically, increasing slowly. Malthus decided that based on his observations about the growth patterns of humans and their resources, humans would overshoot their food or resources. When this happened, he stated that there would be a catastrophic disturbance and excessive dieback within the human population would occur to compensate for…

Joan Scott’s book Politics of the Veil assesses the implications of the French government’s ban on clothing and religious signs, in particular, the wearing of veils in public schools. In the book she discloses the French government's argument for banning the headscarf which she contends with her own assertion by exploring factors such as racism, postcolonial guilt and fear among many other things. In my study, I am particularly interested in exploring the contradictory nature of the ban as it…

The crude birth rate is the number of annual amount of live births per thousand people. The average number of of children that would be born to each women (per 1,000) in a society if they passed through the childbearing years bearing children is the total fertility rate. Lastly, the replacement-level fertility rate is a total fertility rate of about 2.1, that stabilizes the population. The crude birth rate and the fertility rate show how fast our population may be growing. If we are…

When comparing the countries of China and Japan to one another, it is evident that their belief systems and cultures are strikingly similar. Confucianism and its philosophy are the foundation upon which each of these countries beliefs and traditions stem from. From the perspective of the elders in these countries, there seem to be a lessening amount of children making up the population (Ho 1992). Despite these similarities, there are clear differences between the aging experience in these two…

For exercise two I will be comparing and contracting Green Peace verses Population connection. Both the Organizations have several differences, but they have some similarities as well. There are two main differences between the two organizations such as, Mission statement, and the environmental issues they focus on. The first contract between Green Peace and Population connection is their mission statement and what type of organization they are. What is a mission statement, a mission statement…
