Jelly Baby Population Game
All populations have a structure.This is usually represented on a
diagram called a population pyramid…
The structure is made up of a particular combination of
cohorts.
A cohort is an age group, or a particular
section of the population.
Cohorts include:YOUNG PEOPLE… (also called young
dependents)
Middle Aged People – ‘the workers’…
…and Old People..(or elderly dependents)
although increasingly people are having to work for a lot
longer - as will you have to….
Of course populations change for various reasons…
People are born…
People die….
People move in…
People move out…
…and we all get older every day…
How will the population of ‘your’ country change in response to a series of
‘chance’ events ??
Let’s play the game…
You will need to keep a record of what happens to your
population, by recording the chance cards that you get
drawn.
You can eat the Jelly Babies AFTERWARDS.
