13
Demographic metabolism
A continuing process of societal renewal through the fundamental demographic processes of birth, death, and in- and out- migration.
New cards
14
Geometric Exponential models
Assume that growth follows a non- linear trend over time.
New cards
15
Population studies
Interplay between demography and other disciplines.
New cards
16
Linear model
Assumes a straight- line progression of change over time.
New cards
17
Temporal continuity
People living today are descendants of many earlier generations.
New cards
18
Static analysis
Focus on demographic conditions at a fixed point in time.
New cards
19
Logistic model
Assumes that a human population undergoing prolonged exponential growth will eventually experience insupportable levels of population density, which will impose strains on resources and the environment; and under such conditions, society would be compelled to implement measures to curtail growth or face increased rates of mortality.
New cards
20
Dynamic analysis
Study the change in demographic conditions over a period of time.
New cards
21
Population
A collectivity of people co-existing within a prescribed geographic territory at a given point in time.
New cards
22
Net migration
The net difference between the number of incoming and outgoing migrants)
New cards
23
Biological aging
Passage through life from birth to death.
New cards
24
Demography
The scientific study of population and how population is affected by births, deaths, and migration.
New cards
25
The population problem
overpopulation
New cards
26
Highly developed countries
trouble = below-replacement birth rate + low population growth
New cards
27
Developing countries
decline in population growth
New cards
28
Least developed countries
high growth rates → aggravates poverty, unemployment, slow economic development

Static analysis
focus on demographic conditions at a fixed point in time
New cards
41
Dynamic analysis
study the change in demographic conditions over a period of time
New cards
42
Process variables
variables that reflect human behavioral processes (fertility, mortality, migration)
New cards
43
Net migration
the net difference between the number of incoming and outgoing migrants)
New cards
44
Linear model
assumes a straight-line progression of change over time
New cards
45
Geometric/Exponential models
assume that growth follows a non-linear trend over time
New cards
46
Geometric model
growth occurs at discrete time points, such as the end of each year
New cards
47
Exponential model
assumes continuous compounding at discrete time points
New cards
48
Logistic model
assumes that a human population undergoing prolonged exponential growth will eventually experience insupportable levels of population density, which will impose strains on resources and the environment; and under such conditions, society would be compelled to implement measures to curtail growth or face increased rates of mortality
New cards
49
Compositional change
change in the distribution of key population characteristics (age, sex, marital status, education, occupation)
New cards
