The problems to be faced are vast and complex, but come down to this;
7 billion people are breeding exponentially. The process of
fulfilling their wants and needs is stripping Earth of its biotic capacity to produce life; a climatic burst of consumption by a single species is
overwhelming the skies, earth, waters, and fauna.
-Paul Hawken

The study of the size, composition, and distribution of human populations and the causes and consequences of changes in these characteristics is known as demography.
The changes in human populations can have an impact on health, social, economic, and environmental effects.

Birthrates have come down but the population is still continuing to grow.
Deathrates have come down more than birthrates but we still continue to grow exponentially – with 97% of the new population being in developing countries.
So what is happening with the world’s population?
![Page 4: The study of the size, composition, and distribution of human populations and the causes and consequences of changes in these characteristics is known](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbb5503460f94aac97a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
World’s population growth dropped from 2.2% to 1.2% from 1963 to 2008.
BUT the population doubled: 3.2B – 6.7BIn 2008, 80M people were added to the planet (2.5
Canada’s!!)Developed countries have a growth rate of 0.2%
while developing countries have a growth rate of 1.5% - eight times faster!
Developing countries have 5.7B people and are expected to reach 8B by 2050 while developed countries will stay about the same at 1.2B India, China, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Nigeria
are expected to have the highest growth rates.
Some stats:

Now your time to work!!
![Page 6: The study of the size, composition, and distribution of human populations and the causes and consequences of changes in these characteristics is known](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbb5503460f94aac97a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Thailand reduced its growth in only fifteen years.1971, 3.2% growth rate and it dropped to 0.8% in 1986.1) family planning through government2)literacy rates in women3) increased economic role for women4) better health care for women/children5) encouragement of contraceptives6) people involved had loans to add drinking water and
toilets7) education and economic rewards for family planning8) great at lowering birthrate but has increased pollution9) not great public health10) poor air quality

Births, deaths, and migration.Births + immigration = increaseDeaths + emigration = decrease
What affects population size?

YES!! – any birthrate that is above 1% grows exponentially over a period of time. It has slowed down but still grows.
Are we growing exponentially?
![Page 9: The study of the size, composition, and distribution of human populations and the causes and consequences of changes in these characteristics is known](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbb5503460f94aac97a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The population has doubled but the birthrate has was almost cut in half.
80,000,000 were added in 2008!
World Population: 1963-2008
![Page 10: The study of the size, composition, and distribution of human populations and the causes and consequences of changes in these characteristics is known](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbb5503460f94aac97a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Developed countries have a birthrate of 0.2% whereas developing countries have a birthrate of 1.5%.
The population is much larger in developing countries therefore the populations are going to cause a global population to continue to increase.
Developed vs. Developing

India, China, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
Who grows the fastest?

What was the population of China in 2008? Predicted 2025?1.3 billion – 1.5 billion
What was the population of India in 2008? Predicted 2025?1.1 billion – 1.4 billion
What was the population of Canada in 2008? Predicted 2025?33 million – 38 million

Used to calculate the doubling time of a population by using the percentage growth rate.
70/1.2 = 58.3 years for Earth!

1. Cost for raising and educating children2. Education and employment opportunities
for women3. Infant deaths4. Marriage age5. Availability of contraceptives and abortions
Five Factors that affect Birthrates

Availability of foodBetter nutritionAdvances in medicineImproved sanitationSafer water supply
… all in all… deathrates are declining due to technological advances and improved health care for individuals.

From 1500-1700, 6 million immigrants moved to Canada.
From 1820-1900, 50 million Europeans immigrated to North America.

By looking at populations of young, middle, and older age groups this can determine how fast a population can grow.
If you have a population that is older than majority the population cannot grow as they have past the reproductive stages.
If they are too young, it won’t grow but will eventually hit a massive reproduction phase
If they are in the middle, they are right at the time of reproduction.

Continues to grow and is expected to surpass China – has currently 17% of world’s population
PovertyMalnutritionEnvironmental problems – degraded forests, soil
resources, waterlogging, salinization, overgrazing, and deforestation
2/3 of water is polluted and sanitation is inadequateFamily planning: poor planning, bureaucratic
ineffeciency, the low status of women, extreme poverty, and lack of administrative and financial support.
Families feel they need more children to help bring money into the home and care for them in old age
Need for a male heir
