Agracultural density
Farmers divided by arable land (high agricultural density=developing country)
Arithmetic Density
Total population divided by total land
Anti-nationalist policy
Where the government discourages families from having kids
Pro-natalist policy
The government encouraging families to have kids.
carying capacity
The numeral population limit the Earth can sustain.
Cartagram
A map that distorts land area based upon a certain variable (usually population)
Crude Birth Rate
The total number of people born in a year is for every 1,000 people.
Crude Death Rate
The total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people.
Demographic Transition model
Model used by geographers to analyze and predict trends in population growth and decline including patterns of births, deaths and natural increase rates.
Developed Country
A country where access to resources such as healthcare, education, technology, and wealth is distributed relatively equally in surplus amounts.
Dependency Ratio
The number of people in an age group relative to the working-class (Under the age of 15 and over the age of 65)
Developing Country
A country where labor is manual and access to resources such as healthcare, education, technology, and wealth is scarce or unequally distributed.
Ecumene
The habitable areas on Earth
Emigration/Immagration
Immigration- The movement of people who move into a country
Emigration- the movement of people who leave a country.
Human Development Index (HDI)
HDI was created by the UN in 1990 and measures a nation’s longevity(access to healthcare allowing for a long and healthy life), education(equal access to education), and income(enough money to buy necessary appliances and sustenance), rather than economic growth alone.
Infinte Mortality Rate
The number of people dying before the age of 1
Life Expectancy
The number of years a person is expected to live.
Malthusian Theroy
Population grows exponentially while food only grows linearly, resulting in a catastrophic point of food shortage and famine due to overpopulation.
Neo-Malthusian
Believe that the Earth can only sustain a finite population, not an infinite one. They believe that as the population continues to increase rapidly, a strain is put on natural resources, leading to the Earth exceeding its carrying capacity.
Natural Increase rate
The percentage by which a population grows in a year (cbr-cdr divided by 10) *does not account for migration
Population Pyramid
Show the population structure/composition of a location. (used to assess population growth, decline, and to predict markets for goods and services.)
Physiological Density
Population divided by arable land
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
The average number of children born per woman during childbearing years
Population Growth Rate
A measure of the world population accounting for migration (CBR-CDR)+Migration divided by 10, all divided by seventy.
