Section 1

(35 cards)

Arithmetic density

Front

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

Back

J-curve

Front

a growth curve that depicts exponential growth

Back

Crude death rate

Front

The number of deaths per year per 1,000 people.

Back

Population agglomerations

Front

A cluster of people living in the same area.

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

Cornucopians

Front

optimists who question limits-to-growth perspectives and contend that markets effectively maintain a balance between population, resources, and the environment

Back

Thomas Malthus

Front

18th century English intellectual who warned that population growth threatened future generations because, in his view, population growth would always outstrip increases in agricultural production.

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 doing births minus deaths plus (or minus) net migration. This is important because it helps to determine which stage in the demographic transition model a country is in.

Back

Contraception

Front

Birth Control

Back

Child mortality rate

Front

A figure that describes the number of children that die between the first and fifth years of their lives in a given population

Back

Doubling time

Front

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

Back

Cairo conference

Front

A war time conference held at Cairo, Egypt that was attended by FDR, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-shek. It addressed the Allied position against Japan during WWII and made decisions about postwar Asia.

Back

Ecumene

Front

The portion of Earth's surface occupied by permanent human settlement.

Back

Sex ratio

Front

The number of males per 100 females in the population.

Back

Epidemiological transition

Front

Distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition.

Back

Total fertility rate

Front

The number of children born to an average woman in a population during her entire reproductive life

Back

Demographic transition

Front

Change in a population from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates

Back

Population pyramids

Front

A bar graph representing the distribution of population by age and sex

Back

Replacement fertility

Front

The total fertility rate at which women would have only enough children to replace themselves and their partner.

Back

Dependency ratio

Front

The number of people under the age of 15 and over age 64, compares to the number of people active in the labor force.

Back

Natalism

Front

a policy or general attitude that encourages population growth, often in the face of limited resources

Back

Crude birth rate

Front

Annual number of live births per 1,000 people in the population of a geographic area at the midpoint of a given year.

Back

Physiological density

Front

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

Back

Zero population growth

Front

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

Back

Anti-natalism

Front

Incentives to stop the population from growing

Back

Agricultural density

Front

The ratio of the number of farmers to the total amount of land suitable for agriculture.

Back

Life expectancy

Front

A figure indicating how long, on average, a person may be expected to live. Normally expressed in the context of a particular state.

Back

S-curve

Front

a curve that depicts logistic growth; shape of an "S"

Back

Overpopulation

Front

A value judgment based on the notion that the resources of a particular area are not great enough to support that area's current population.

Back

Natural increase rate

Front

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

Back

Carrying capacity

Front

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

Back

Infant mortality rate

Front

A figure that describes the number of babies that die within the first year of their lives in a given population.

Back

Demography

Front

Scientific study of human populations.

Back

Neomalthusians

Front

scholars that continue to share Thomas Malthus's concerns

Back

Front

A complete enumeration of a population.
