1

developed countries

countries with relatively high levels of industrialization and income

New cards
2

developing countries

a country with relatively low levels of industrialization and incomes of less than $3 per person per day.

3

Malthus Theory

Starvation is the inevitable result of population growth because the population increases at an exponential rate while the food supply can only increase linearly. (found to be wrong because of human innovation)

New cards
4

r is the...

population growth rate

New cards
5

r formula

(births+immigration)-(deaths+emigration)/total population * 100

New cards
6

TFR

total fertility rate

New cards
7

Total Fertility Rate

The average number of children that each woman in a population will bear throughout their childbearing years, between puberty and menopause.

New cards
8

Replacement-level fertility

the rate at which children must be born to replace those dying in the population

New cards
9

Demography

The scientific study of population characteristics.

New cards
10

Three sources of change in population size

fertility, mortality, and migration

New cards
11

GDP

Gross Domestic Product- the total market value of all final goods and services produced annually in an economy. (correlates with pollution levels) C+I+G+(X-IM)

New cards
12

life expectancy

the average number of years that an infant born in a particular year in a particular country is expected to live, given the current age and lifespan and death rate in that country.

New cards
13

population density calculation

population/area

New cards
14

Birth or death rate calculation

#of births or deaths per year/ total population

New cards
15

Crude Birth/ Death Rate Formula

#births or deaths/10

New cards
16

Rule of 70

Doubling time (in years) = 70/(percentage growth rate).

New cards
17

infant mortality

rate as defined as the number of deaths of children under 1 year of age.

New cards
18

child mortality

rate as defined as the number of deaths of children under 5 years of age.

New cards
19

Population Pyramid

A bar graph representing the distribution of population by age and sex.

New cards
20

population momentum

continued population growth that does not slow in response to growth reduction measures

New cards
21

theory of demographic transition

the theory that as a country moves from a subsistence economy to industrialization and increased affluence it undergoes a predictable shift in population growth

New cards
22

stage 1 of demographic transition

Low growth; Very high birth and death rates

New cards
23

stage 2 of demographic transition

High growth; Rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates

New cards
24

stage 3 of demographic transition

Stabilizing; Birth rates rapidly decline; death rates continue to decline

New cards
25

stage 4 of demographic transition

Low growth; Very low birth and death rates = zero population growth

New cards
26

family planning

the practice of regulating the number or spacing of offspring through the use of birth control

New cards
27

IPAT equation

Impact = Population x Affluence x Technology

New cards
28

urban area

an area that contains more than 386 people per square kilometer (1,000 people per square mile)

New cards
29

ecological footprint

the impact of a person or community on the environment, expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their use of natural resources.
