Overpopulation

Front

The number of people in an area exceeds the capacity of the environment to support life at a decent standard of living.

Back

Demographic Regions

Front

Regions grouped together by the stage of the demographic transition model that most countries in the region are in. Cape Verde (Africa) is in Stage 2 (High Growth), Chile (Latin America) is in Stage 3 (Moderate Growth), and Denmark (Europe) is in Stage 4 (Low Growth). This is important because it shows how different parts of the world are in different stages of the demographic transition

Back

doubling time

Front

The number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase.

Back

Natality (pro)

Front

An attitude that encourages child bearing

Back

J-curve

Front

a growth curve that depicts exponential growth; J shaped

Back

Age Distribution

Front

a model used in population geography that describes the ages and number of males and females within a given population; also called a population pyramid

Back

sex ratio

Front

The number of males per 100 females in the population.

Back

Arithmetic Density

Front

The total number of people divided by the total land area.

Back

Demographic Momentum

Front

this is the tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution. This is important because once this happens a country moves to a different stage in the demographic transition model.

Back

Population Pyramid

Front

A bar graph that represents the distribution of population by age and sex

Back

Gendered Space

Front

areas in which particular genders of people, and particular types of gender expression, are considered welcome or appropriate, and other types are unwelcome or inappropriate.

Back

Natural Increase Rate (NIR)

Front

The percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate.

Back

Mortality

Front

The death rate within a population.

Back

crude birth rate

Front

The total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

Back

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

Front

The average number of children a woman will have throughout her childbearing years.

Back

Child Mortality Rate

Front

Number of deaths per thousand children within the first five years of life.

Back

replacement fertility

Front

the total fertility rate (TFR) that maintains a stable population size

Back

Demography

Front

The scientific study of population characteristics.

Back

Maladaption

Front

An adaption that does more harm than good.

Back

Physiological Density

Front

The number of people per unit of area of arable land, which is land suitable for agriculture.

Back

population agglomerations

Front

When populations cluster around cities and have suburbs and cities and such

Back

Agricultural Density

Front

The ratio of the number of farmers to the amount of arable land

Back

Neomalthusians

Front

a belief that the world is characterized by scarcity and competition in which too many people fight for few resources. Pessimists who warn of the global ecopolitical dangers of uncontrolled population growth

Back

Zero Population Growth (ZPG)

Front

A decline of the total fertility rate to the point where the natural increase rate equals zero

Back

Ecumene

Front

permanently inhabited by humans areas of the earth's surface

Back

life expectancy

Front

A figure indicating how long, on average, a person may be expected to live

Back

crude death rate

Front

The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society.

Back

dependency ratio

Front

The number of people under age 15 and over age 64 (too young or old to work) compared to the number of people active in the labor force

Back

cohort

Front

A population group unified by a specific common characteristic, such as age, and subsequently treated as a statistical unit.

Back

Epidemiological transition

Front

The process of change in the distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition

Back

demographic equation

Front

The formula that calculates population change. The formula finds the increase (or decrease) in a population. The formula is found by CBR-CDR

Back

Census

Front

the official count of a population

Back

carrying capacity

Front

Largest number of individuals of a population that a environment can support

Back

S-curve

Front

A curve that depicts arithmetic growth; in the shape of an s

Back

demographic transition

Front

The process of change in a society's population from a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and a higher total population.

Back

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)

Front

The total number of deaths in a year among infants under 1 year old for every 1,000 live births in a society.

Back

Natality(anti)

Front

An attitude that encourages limiting population

Back

Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)

Front

The percentage of annual growth in a population excluding immigration. CBR-CDR
