History of Human Population
Early Hunter Gatherers• Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth• Practiced Intentional Birth Control
Rise of Agriculture• Necessary for Survival
• Animals became extinct via hunting and altered habitat
• Cultivation of own food

Agriculture Gives Rise to Cities• Food Produced in Country, Consumed in City
• Less productive soil• Waste of Populations Concentrated in Cities• Population Control in Medieval Societies
• Disease• Famine• Wars

History of Human Population Cont..
Industrialization• Early Phases: Child labor
• Cheap source of income and cheap labor• Exponential growth of populations
• By 1900s, Birth Rate in Industrialized World Dropped
• Why?

Current World Population
Global population ?
• The global population grows by: Nearly 2.3 persons per seconds Nearly 8,343 persons per hour Over 200,234 persons per day Over 73 million persons per year

Rate of Global Population Changeuse: International Data Base http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idbnew.html,
• CBR (crude birth rate) = # births / 1000 population
1990: 24 now: 20.6
• CDR (crude death rate) = # deaths / 1000 population
1990: 9 now: 8.8
• Growth Rate = (b + i) – (d + e)
1990: 1.5% now: 1.19% growth rates have come down

LIMITS TO GROWTH
• Thomas Malthus-excess population growth is the cause of many social and environmental problems Disease, famine and population control is only
way to stabilize• Karl Marx- oppression and exploitation are the real
causes of poverty and environmental degradation Population growth is a symptom or result of
other problems, not the source

HUMAN DEMOGRAPHY
• Demography - vital statistics about people• 2 demographic worlds
First is poor, young, and rapidly growing.- Less-developed countries contain 80% of
world population Second is wealthy, old, and mostly shrinking.
- Western Europe, Japan.

Factors affecting birth rates and fertility rates
• Age of woman at time of marriage• Availability and affordability of birth control and
abortion• Children needed in the workforce• Costs of raising and educating children• Culture, religion, tradition• Government programs• Infant mortality
![Page 18: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Factors affecting death rates
• Availability and affordability of health care, food and better nutrition
• Safer water supplies• Improvements in sanitation and pollution control• Improvements in medical and public health
![Page 19: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Indicators of overall health of people in a country
• Life expectancy• Infant mortality rate-number of babies out of
every 1000 born who die before age 1
![Page 20: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Human Population Dynamics
3 sources of change in population size —• Migration• Fertility• Mortality
![Page 21: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Curbing Population Growth
• Family Planning Reduce births and abortions
- reduces children's social services needs- reduces risk of childbearing deaths
Effectiveness depends on program design and funding
![Page 22: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Rewards and Penalties to Reduce Births
• What might work: Encourage people to have fewer children Reinforce existing customs and trends toward
smaller families Don’t penalize for already existing larger
families Increase poor family’s economic status
![Page 23: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Case Study-India
• Family planning efforts began in 1952; fertility rate declined from 5.3 to 3.4 but population growth is still exponential
• Disappointing results due to: poor planning bureaucratic inefficiency low status of women extreme poverty lack of administrative & financial support
![Page 24: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Curbing Population Growth
• Provide economic incentives for having less children
• Empower and educate women Access to education and paying jobs outside
home Society doesn’t suppress women’s rights
• Government family planning services• Reduce poverty and economic
development
![Page 25: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Case Study-China
• Family planning efforts began in 1970• Population control program is extensive, intrusive and
strict: postpone childbearing only one child/family -->benefits
- Free education and health care- Increased personal and family incomes- Preferential housing and retirement income
effective because China is dictatorship; limited resources would have mean disaster

4 Stages of the Demographic Transition
• Birth rates, death rates and growth rates change through time as societies change: modernize, urbanize gain access to technology
![Page 29: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Stage 1: Pre-Industrial
• High birth rates, high (at time erratic) death rates, low growth rates
• Stage for much of human history, traditional societies
• Living conditions severe
![Page 30: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Stage 2: Transitional
• High birth rates, declining death rates, rising growth rates• Improvements in sanitation (water) and medicine• Ex. Europe at the start of Industrial Revolution
developing countries since the 50s/60s much of Africa today, some countries of Asia
(Afghanistan, Nepal, etc.)
![Page 31: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Stage 3: Industrial
• Continued decline of death rates, declining birth rates, growth rates decline from high to lower levels
Lower death rate, in particular infant mortality rates
• Economic change: urbanization (incentive to have fewer children) Better jobs Education for women
• Mexico today
![Page 32: 1 Human Populations. 2 History of Human Population Early Hunter Gatherers Nomadic, With a Strong Sense of the Earth Practiced Intentional Birth Control](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e3a5503460f94b2bfd2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Stage 4 Post-Industrial
• Stage 4: birth rates are less than mortality rates
• Zero population growth or declining population growth
• Standard of living is high• Ex. Japan, many European countries
