Geography-Human Geography
Demography: The study of human population | Birth rate: The number of live births per 1000 Formula= (Birth/population)x 1000 | Death rate: The number of deaths per 1000 Formula= (Deaths/population)x 1000 | Immigration rate:(IMR) The number of immigrants arriving at an area every 1000 people. Formula= (Immigrants divided by population)x 1000 |
Emigration rate: (EM’R) Number of people leaving an area per 1000 (Emigrants/ population) x 1000 | Natural increase rate: The gap between birth and death rate Formula= BR-DR | Net migration rate: The difference between the number of migrants entering and leaving IMM’R-EM’R | Population growth rate: (Natural increase rate+ Net Migration Rate/1000)x100 |
Rule of 70: How long it takes to double your population by dividing the number 70 by the variable's growth rate —> | Doubling/halving time: Number of years for the population to double in size. Formula= 70/population growth rate | Dependency load: People below 15 and above 64 who are not in the workforce. | Concentrated: (close together), caused by people collecting around a natural resource or the economic activities developed from that resource |
Cultural diversity: that there are many different people of different ethnic backgrounds represented in a country | Push/pull factors: Push= Why people want to leave Pull= why people are drawn to another country | Economic/skilled immigrant: The only immigrants that use the point system | Family immigrant: When you have a family member sponsor you |
Refugee: People that migrate their country out of fear | Intervening obstacles: Non-physical obstacles that stop you from immigrating. ex. lack of money | Population distribution: is the arrangement of high and low density areas across a larger area. | Dispersed: (spread out), typically agricultural land (more land for farming than human dwellings) |
Multiculturalism: a federal government policy started in the 1970’s (by Pierre Trudeau) that encourages people living in Canada to embrace and define themselves as both Canadian and their identity of origin. | Point system: A system that allows people who get 67 and above to immigrate into Canada. | Population density: Number of people living per squared kilometer | Linear: (in a line), follow major transportation routes or natural boundaries (i.e. coastline) |
