BASIC CONCEPTS of Population Growth
Biosphereall life on Earth
Population: all members of a single species living in a given time and place and actually or potentially interbreeding.
Species: all individuals that are capable of interbreeding and is made up of populations.
Ecosystem: all the interacting populations in a given time and place.
Communities: all the organisms and their non-living environment in a defined area.
BASIC CONCEPTS of Population Growth

Sex Ratio and Age Distribution– together they tell how a population will grow.
Sex Ratio – relative number of males and females in a population.
Age Distribution – number of individuals of each age in a population.

POPULATION MOVEMENTS
Migration
– permanent change of residence of a person or group.
Emigration – movement of people out of a country.
Immigration – movement of people into a country.

Push factors1. No job opportunities; 2. Poverty;3. War; and 4. Environmental disasters
Circumstances in the country or origin that lead people to emigrate.
Pull factors1. Economic opportunity;2. Political freedom; and
(i.e. Democracy)
3. Better standards of living
Conditions in the destination country that make emigration attractive.

1. Change in population size
= (births – deaths) + (immigrants – emigrants)
2. (Crude) Birth rate - the number of individuals born during a specified time interval.
Affecting
Population Size HUMANFACTORS
Natural increase – when the birth rate is higher than the death rate, more people are being born than are dying so the population grows.

3. (Crude) Death rate - the number of individuals who die during a specified time interval.
Affecting
Population Size HUMANFACTORS
Natural decrease – when the death rate is higher than the birth rate.

Demographic Transition Model- is an important factor in population growth.
4. Total Fertility Rate (TFR) – the average number of children a woman has during her reproductive years.
– Biotic potential: the maximum rate at which a population could increase when birth rate is maximal and death rate minimal.
5. Replacement Fertility - number of children needed to replace everyone in the population.
Zero Population Growth: • birth rate = death rate.

THE WEALTH GAP AND POPULATION GROWTH CAUSE CONFLICT
The stark contrast between affluent and poor societies causes social and environmental stress.* The richest 20% use 86% of the world’s resources* Leaves 14% of the resources for 80% of the world’s people to share* Tensions between “haves” and “have-not’s” are increasing

Major Social Factor Determining Family Size is the ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY
• Early marriages foster high fertility rates.
• Lack of education opportunities for women reduces their options.
• When level of education increases, fertility rates fall.
• The most important factor is the ability of women to control the size of their family.
• Access to birth control is key
