Population Distribution
Pattern of where people live- how people are spread out
Stage 4 DTM
Low Growth: A Modern Industrialized Country with a low CBR, low CDR, and virtually no NIR
Physical Population Density
The number of people supported by a unit of arable land
Population Density
Measurement of population per area or unit
Developing Country
A country making some progress toward development
Census
A complete count of of a population
Malthus's Critics
Many geographers consider Malthusian beliefs unrealistically pessimistic because they are based on a belief that the world's supply of resources is fixed rather than expanding and some critics disagree with Malthus's theory thinking that a larger population could stimulate economic growth and therefore, the production of more food.
Baby Boom
Temporary marked increase in the birth rate
Stage 3 DTM
Decreasing growth: Industrializing society with a CBR that declined significantly, a CDR that continues to decline, and a NIR that begins to moderate.
Arithmetic Population Density
Population of a region divided by total land area.
Pro-Natalist Policies
Government policies to increase the rate of natural increase
Agricultural Density
Number of Farmers / arable land
Cartogram
A map in which some mapping variable is substituted for land area in such a way that the political unit with the greatest value for some type of data is represented by the largest relative area on the map
Crude Death Rate
Total number of deaths per 1,000 people in a society
Population Explosion
a sudden large increase in the population size
Developed Country
A country that has progressed further along in development
Crude Birth Rate
Total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people in the society
Population Concetration
An area of land where people are most dense, including East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
Natural Increase Rate
Percent a population grows in a year
AIDS
Disease where there is severe loss of cellular immunity
Malthusian Theory
The theory that population grows faster than food supply
Population Pyramids
Country's distinctive population showed on a bar graph- males on left
Stage 5 DTM
A Modern Industrialized Country with a very low CBR, an increasing CDR, and a negative NIR
Over-Population
When the number of people in an area exceeds the capacity of the environment to support life at a decent standard of living.
Less Developed Countries (LDC)
Non-industrialized/poor countries. Stage two, early three
Stage 1 DTM
Low Growth: A pre-industrial agrarian society with a High CBR, High CDR, and a Zero NIR
Anti-Natalist Policies
Government policies to reduce the rate of natural increase
Chronic Diseases
A long-lasting Disease that can't generally be prevented
Demography
The scientific study of population characteristics
Arable Land
Land suitable for farming/agriculture
Demographic Transition Model
A model that demonstrates the shift in population growth throughout time
Stationary Population Level
Level at which national population ceases to grow
More Developed Countries
industrialized country. Stage 4/5
Industrial Revolution
Time during the 19th century, major improvements in manufacturing goals and delivering them to market
Thomas Malthus
An English economist who was one of the first to argue that the world's population increase was far outrunning the development of food production
Total Fertility Rate
Average number of children a woman will have during her 'birthing' years
Epidimiology
Branch of medical science concerning diseases
Zero Population Growth
When the CBR and the CDR are equal and the NIR approaches zero
Medical Revolution
Time during the late 20th countries, when medical technology from Europe and North America diffused to developing countries
Stage 2 DTM
High Growth: Industrializing society with a CBR that remains high but stable, a CDR that declines dramatically, and a NIR in rapid increase.
Dependency Ratio
Number of people too young or too old to work compared to workers
Doubling Time
Number of years needed to double the population
Life Expectancy
Average number of years an infant can expect to live
Physiological Density
Population of a region / arable (farmable) land
Child Mortality Rate
Total number of child deaths per 1,000 live births
Infant Mortality Rates
Annual number of deaths of infants(one and under) compared to the number of live births
Ecumeme
The areas of earth occupied by human settlement
Neo-Malthusians
People who believed in Malthusian Theory and in the idea that population was not only outstripping food but other resources
Declining Birth Rates
Education and Health care and Contraceptives have been useful methods
Sex Ratio
Number of males per 100 females
