3A: Population Growth in the Past
• Neolithic Revolution
• Domestication of livestock and agriculture
• Began about 12,000 years ago
• Slow but steady growth from 10,000 BCE until 1750
• Decline during plagues of the 1300s
• Industrial Revolution
• Mid-18th century

Figure 3A.1 World Population Growth
3I: Population Change in the Future 1
• Thomas Malthus
– 1798, An Essay on the Principle of Population
– Believed that food production would not keep up with population growth
• Neo-Malthusians
– Modern theorists who believe in Malthus’ notion that population growth will lead to global crisis

How Malthus’s theory works
• Food Supply increases arithmetically
• 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
• People increase exponentially (or geometrically)
• 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol 1843
• “If they would rather die, . . . they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
• Scrooge

'Man,' said the Ghost of Christmas Present, `… forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. … It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child.
3I: Population Change in the Future 2
• Ester Boserup
– Argued that population growth stimulates societies to innovate and produce more food.
• Marxists
– Argue that food is poorly distributed
• Implosionists vs. Explosionists
– Implosionists believe lack of population will be a problem because jobs will be unfilled
– Explosionists are more Malthusian

Green Revolution 50s-70s
• Norman Borlaug– new varieties of wheat, rice, scientific farming methods—Nobel Peace Prize 1970

3J: Population Planning
• Can be controversial
– “Comstock Law”, 1873
– Resistance from some religious groups
• Modern focus is on cultural attitudes, contraceptives, better recordkeeping & technology, and improving the status of women

China’s One-Child Policy
• Began in late 1970s
• Restricts number of births for most couples
• Strictest in urban areas
• Weakest in rural, minority regions
• Boys preferred, girls sometimes aborted or given for adoption

Figure 3J.2 Total Fertility Rate in China
Density • Arithmetic Density
• Calculated by dividing a country’s population by its total land area. • Such as people/km2
• Physiologic Density
• Calculated by dividing a country’s population by its area of arable land. • people/km2 of
farmland

3E: The Demographic Equation
3-18 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Future population = current population + births – deaths
+ immigrants – emigrants
How many children possible per woman? 20?
• 16--Average age of menarche (first menstrual period) in 19th century
• 18– able to carry a child to term
• Usually two years between children (with breast feeding)
• After 35, fertility drops
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
3E: Fertility
• Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
– # of children born per year per 1000 people in a population
• Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
– The # of children a woman can expect to have in her lifetime given current fertility rates
• Replacement Level of Fertility
– A TFR of 2.1-2.3
– Also called “zero population growth”

3F: Mortality
• Crude Death Rate (CDR)
– Number of deaths per year in a population per 1,000 people
• Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
– (The number of infants who die before age 1 /by all births) x 1000
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3-23
Life expectancy= how many years will the average person live?
• ALWAYS ASK
– from when?
– If the life expectancy is 35, and starts from birth, then there is a high infant mortality rate.
• Three score years and ten
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2-24
When do people die?
• 0-7 infants
• 16-25
– Women in childbirth
– Men in war, accidents
• 50s middle age diseases—heart disease, cancer, diabetes
• 70s old age-- pneumonia
2-25
Factors in population growth
• Density Dependent– infectious Disease
• Density independent – weather

Figure 3F.3 Infant Mortality Rates
3F: Natural Population Change
• Rate of Natural Increase as a % (RNI%)
– RNI = (crude birth rate – crude death rate) / 10
– Does NOT account for migration
• Rate of Population Growth
– Includes migration
• Doubling Time
– Doubling Time = 70 years / RNI%

Figure 3G.1 Demographic Transition Model
3G: Demographic Transition Model
– A model of demographic change based on Europe’s population in the 18th-20th centuries.
– Argues that, as a country modernizes, its fertility and mortality rates drop, but not at the same time.
– Because death rates drop before birth rates, population increase will occur.
