Population growth
• Population size, for any species, is
affected by two inputs and two outputs,
which are influenced by a number of
different factors.

How to determine crude birth
rates
• Determined by taking the number of live
births in one year in a country, dividing it
by the country’s population and
multiplying the number by 1000
![Page 10: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Birth rates
• The number of births per year divided by the total population.
b = total births/total population
*the crude birth rate is usually stated as the number of births per 1000 individuals.
![Page 11: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Birth rates, an example
• If the total population of mice in a forest is 1,000,000 and 5,000 mice were born in a one year time period the birthrate would be
5,000/1,000,000 = 0.005 or 0.5%
• The crude birth rate is what is usually reported which would be
5 out of 1000 Confusing I know!
![Page 12: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to determine crude death
rates
• Determined by taking the number of
deaths in a country in one year, and
dividing it by the country’s population
and multiplying the number by 1000
![Page 13: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Death rates
• The number of deaths per year divided by the
total population.
d = total deaths/total population
• The crude death rate is usually stated as the
number of deaths per 1000 individuals
![Page 14: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Death rates, an example
• So for the same population of mice in a forest (1,000,000) there were a total of 2,500 deaths…so
2,500/1,000,000 = 0.0025 or 0.25%
• The crude death rate reported would be 2.5 out of 1000 (2.5/1000)
![Page 15: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

MEDC and LEDC
MEDCMore economically developed country
LEDCLess economically developed country
1. Most countries in Europe and North
America, Israel, and Japan
2. Industrialized nations with high
GDPs
3. Population is relatively rich
4. Individuals are unlikely to starve
through poverty
5. Relatively high level of resource
use per capita (per person)
6. Relatively low pop. Growth rates
largely due to low CBR but rising
CDRs
7. Have very high carbon and
ecological footprint
1. Most countries in sub-Saharan
Africa. Large areas of Asia and
South America
2. Less industrialized or have hardly
any industry at all
3. May have raw materials (natural
capital) but this tends to be
exported and processed in MEDCs
4. Population has a lower GDP and
higher poverty rates
5. More people are poor with low
standards of living
6. High pop. Growth rates largely due
to rapidly falling CDRs
7. Have lower carbon and ecological
footprint

Demographic transition model
• This model describes the pattern of
decline in mortality and fertility of a
country as a result of economic and
social development.
• It is described as a five-stage population
model.
•
![Page 22: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Demographic transition- broad generalization about
population growth since the middle of the 18th century
• No country as a whole retains the characteristics of stage 1.
This only applies to the most remote societies on Earth.
• All MEDC’s are stage 4 or 5
• The poorest of LEDC’s are in stage 2 (Niger, Bolivia)
• Most LEDC’s with advanced social and economics are in stage
3. (Brazil, China, India)
![Page 23: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stage 1
The high stationary stage
• Pre-industrial society
• High birth rate due to no birth control.
• High infant mortality rates.
• Cultural factors and agricultural society encourage
large families.
• High death rates due to disease, famine, poor
hygiene, and little medicine.
• Fluctuating population growth, overall no growth.
![Page 24: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stage 2
The early expanding stage
• LEDC
• Death rate drops as sanitation and food improve.
• Disease is reduced so lifespan increases.
• High population under the age of 15
• Birth rate is still high so population expands rapidly
and child mortality falls due to improved medicine.
• High growth rate.
![Page 25: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Stage 3
The late expanding stage• Wealthier LEDC
• As a country becomes more developed, birth rates
will also fall due to access to contraception,
improved healthcare, education, emancipation of
women.
• Increased mechanization reduces need for
workers.
• Desire for material goods increases.
• Infant death rates decrease.
• Smaller families.
• Growth begins to level off.

Stage 4
The low stationary stage
• MEDC
• Low birth and death rates.
• Industrialized countries.
• Stable population sizes.
• Life expectancy increases
![Page 27: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Stage 5
The natural decrease stage
Newly added stage
• MEDC
• Population may not be replaced as fertility
is low.
• Problems of aging workforce put pressure
on economy.
• Birth rate may have fallen below death rate
resulting in natural decrease

Age-structure pyramids
• Age-structure pyramids are a graphic
representation of the age and gender
structure of a population.
• The pyramids are a snapshot in time but
can give a great deal of information
about the demographics of the
population.
![Page 30: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How to construct a pyramid
• Calculate the percentage of the population that falls into each age category, and separate by gender.
• Take the number of individuals that fall into the age/sex category, divide by the total population and multiply by 100.

What pyramids say about the population
Expanding pyramids
• This population is very bottom heavy.
• The birth rates are high.
• Most of the population is young, causing competition for jobs and resources.
![Page 41: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Still expanding but the birth rate is dropping and growth rate is slowing.
![Page 42: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Chimney shapes indicate that birth and
death rates are both low, population
growth is close to zero.

Contracting pyramid indicates a declining growth rate.
This can cause a financial burden on the working age
individuals to support an aging population.

Population Doubling Time
• Doubling Time of a population is the number of years
it would take a population to double its size at its
current growth rate.
• Knowing the doubling times of populations is useful in
making international comparisons or variations within
countries.
• Population doubling makes people consider the
impact of population growth on resources and the
environment in general.
![Page 45: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Population Doubling Time
Calculation doubling times
• Doubling time is determined by dividing 70 by the growth
rate.
• The number 70 comes from the natural log of 2, which is 70
• Example:
A country in 2010 with a population of 33 million had a
population growth rate of 0.9%
Population doubling time:
70/0.9 = 77.7 years
So, in 2087 if growth rate maintained, the country will have
doubled it pop. From 33 million to 66 million
![Page 46: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Environmental FactorsEnvironmental factors may be
categorized according to how much
population density influences their effect
on population growth:
Density independent factors have a
controlling effect on population size and
growth, regardless of the population
density.
Density dependent factors have an
increasing effect on population growth as
the density of the population increases.
Severe fires can result in high mortality
Humans often live at high density
![Page 47: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Density Dependent FactorsDensity dependent factors exert a greater
effect on population growth at higher
population densities.
At high densities, individuals:
Compete more for resources.
Are more easily located by predators and parasites.
Are more vulnerable to infection and disease.
Density dependent factors are biotic factors
such as food supply, disease, parasite
infestation, competition, and predation.
Parasites can spread rapidly
through dense populations
Competition increases
in crowded populations
![Page 48: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Density Independent
FactorsThe effect of density independent factors
on a population’s growth is not dependent
on that population’s density:
•Physical (abiotic) factors
•Temperature
•Precipitation
•Humidity
•Acidity
•Salinity
•Catastrophic events
•Floods and tsunamis
•Fire
•Drought
•Earthquakes and Eruptions
![Page 49: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
When is a country overpopulated?
• The optimum pop. Is when pop. Produces
highest economic return per capita, using all
available resources.
• Some countries have higher optimum pop.
Densities than others
• Netherland has high pop. Densities but can
support this w/ high living standards
• Brazil in the north w/ 2 people for km2 is
overpopulated as resources are much scarcer.

When is a country overpopulated?
• richer countries import goods and services
from elsewhere.
![Page 51: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Why do people have large families?
• High infant and childhood mortality rate
• According to UNICEF one child dies every 3
seconds (26,500 per day) due to malnutrition and
disease. It is an insurance to have more than you
may need so that some reach adulthood.
![Page 52: Human population growth - Mrs. Reed Fresno High school · • Demographic transition-broad generalization about ... Environmental Factors Environmental factors may be categorized](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c0bc244b9032a0a7854ff/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Why do people have large families?
• Security in old age
• The tradition in the family is that children will care
for their parents. The more children the more
secure the parents and less burden for each
child. If no social welfare network, children need
