Meaning
The number of years a person is expected to live to, on average
A graph which shows the age and sex structure of a country or area
The length of time in years it takes for the population to double
The number of deaths each year for every 1000 people in that country
st
The number of babies that die before their 1 birthday, out of every 1000 babies born in a year
The total number of children a woman has over her lifetime
Things in the environment that reduce or stop population growth
The number of babies born each year for every 1000 people in the country
A graph which shows changes in CBR, CDR and total population over time
Where the rate of growth increases as time goes on (i.e. a graph has a curved line not a straight one)
The number of births for every 1000 women of childbearing age
The maximum number of people an area can support sustainably
The difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate (CBR – CDR) /10

Draw a very quick line graph to show this information.
1. How many years did it take the world’s population to increase from 1 billion to 2
billion?
2. 2 billion to 3 billion?
3. 3 billion to 4 billion?
4. 4 billion to 5 billion?
5. 5 billion to 6 billion?
6. 6 billion to 7 billion?
7. What is your estimate for the number of years to increase from 7 billion to 8 billion?
8. What was the doubling time for 1 to 2 billion and 2 to 4 billion?
9. What evidence is there in the graph above that the world’s population
growth may slow down?
10. In which 50 years did most growth take place?
11. Is most of the growth in MEDCs or LEDCs?
12. True/false: The rate of population growth has been increasing with
time.
Why has there been a population explosion?
Why has there been a population
explosion?
Birth rate
Death rate
If the BR is greater than the DR we have population growth
(natural increase).
The Demographic Transition Model
• Each take one sheet – High BR, High DR, Low
BR, Low DR – use these to complete the
following table.
Die young: High death rate
Live to be older: Low death rate
Lots of children: High birth rate
Few children: Low birth rate
Demographic Transition Model
• Many more houses are being built
•
Deepta aged 9 works on a farm instead
of going to school
• The Public Health Inspector smiles as
the building of the new sewers are
completed
•
Parents start to think more about
family planning
• Fewer people share a bedroom
•
Shakira has 7 brothers and sisters
• Grandparents are rare
•
There are more Golden Weddings
• People are encouraged to migrate to
other countries to find employment
•
A mother sobs over the grave of the
last of her 6 children who died in a
typhoid epidemic
• Cheryl is promoted to Manager of the
bank where she works.
•
A new highway has just been built
connecting 2 towns to the port
