Human Geography – Population

This overview examines key aspects of population geography, including birth and fertility rates, mortality rates, and the distribution of populations globally. We highlight specific statistics from countries such as Nigeria and Latvia, emphasizing the factors impacting population growth, such as life expectancy and infant mortality rates. Additionally, we analyze how population density varies in different regions, including the Northern Hemisphere, and discuss migration push-pull factors. This comprehensive approach sheds light on the dynamics of global population trends.

  1. Human Geography – Population 12/8 to 12/12

  2. Writing systems of the world

  3. Population growth • Birthrate: number of lives births per 1,000 people • 2000 – Nigeria – 54 • 2000 – Latvia – 8 • Average is 22 • Fertility Rate: average number of children a woman in child bearing years would have in a life time. • 2.1 is necessary to maintain same population • Current average is 3

  4. Population Growth • Mortality Rate: (death rate) number of deaths per thousand people • Healthy/wealthy countries have low mortality rate • However, some healthy/wealthy countries have high number because large number of elderly. • Infant Mortality Rate: number of infant deaths under age 1 per 1,000 births • 1800 – 200 to 300 • Current – 110

  5. Population in the middle east • Use Page 484-484 to answer the following questions….. This is from 2000 • 1. What is the life expectancy Kuwait? • 2. What is the birthrate and the infant mortality rate in Kuwait? • 3. Which country in the Middle East has the longest life expectancy? • 4. Which country in the Middle East has the highest infant mortality rate? Which has the lowest?

  6. Population pyramid – Page 79 • Sex and Age distribution of a population • Why is there certain ages where there is a significantly larger population?

  7. Population distribution

  8. Population distribution • 90% of world’s population lives in the Northern Hemisphere • 50% of the population live in East Asia or South Asia. • 66% of the worlds population lives between 20 N and 60 N. • Push-Pull Factors: Reasons to Migrate • Factors determining where people live… • Climate • Altitude • Access to water/resources

  9. Population density • Average number of people who live in a measurable area, such as a square mile. • Kuwait: 153.58/sq. km (3) • U.S.: 54.65/sq. km (1) • Tokyo: 6,029/sq. km (120) • Monaco: 16,205/sq. km (324) • Carrying Capacity: number of organisms a piece of land can support.
