Enhance Your Learning with Demographic Transition Model Flash Cards for quick learning
A model that describes the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.
The first stage of the demographic transition model characterized by high birth and death rates, resulting in a stable population.
The second stage of the demographic transition model characterized by high birth rates and rapidly declining death rates, leading to a population explosion.
The third stage of the demographic transition model characterized by declining birth rates and further declining death rates, resulting in a slower population growth.
The fourth stage of the demographic transition model characterized by low birth and death rates, resulting in a stable population with a higher proportion of elderly individuals.
An additional stage sometimes added to the demographic transition model, characterized by very low birth rates and increasing death rates, leading to population decline.
Various factors such as economic development, education, healthcare, cultural norms, and government policies that influence the transition from high to low birth and death rates.
The demographic transition has significant implications for population growth, age structure, labor force, healthcare, social security, and resource allocation.
Critics argue that the demographic transition model oversimplifies the complex factors influencing population change and does not account for regional variations and cultural differences.
The demographic transition model is widely used in population studies, urban planning, public health, and policy-making to understand and predict population trends.
The number of live births per 1,000 individuals in a population in a given year.
The number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a population in a given year.
The rate at which a population increases or decreases in size over a given period, usually expressed as a percentage.
The ratio of the economically dependent population (children and elderly) to the economically productive population (working-age individuals).
The average number of children born to a woman during her reproductive years.
The number of deaths in a population, usually expressed as a rate per 1,000 individuals.
The average number of years a person is expected to live, usually at birth.
The process of population concentration in urban areas, resulting in the growth of cities and towns.
The movement of individuals from one place to another, usually involving a change in residence.
The practice of controlling the number and spacing of children through the use of contraception and other methods.
The process of improving the economic well-being and quality of life of a country or region, often measured by indicators such as GDP per capita and human development index.
The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through formal or informal means, often associated with improved health outcomes and lower fertility rates.
The organized provision of medical services, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing mortality rates.
Shared beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors that shape the attitudes and practices of a society, including attitudes towards marriage, family, and childbearing.
Official actions and decisions taken by the government to influence population dynamics, such as family planning programs, healthcare initiatives, and social welfare policies.
A graphical representation of the age and sex distribution of a population, typically displayed as a pyramid-shaped diagram.
A demographic phenomenon characterized by a large proportion of young people in a population, often associated with social and economic challenges.
A demographic trend characterized by a rising proportion of elderly individuals in a population, often associated with increased healthcare and pension costs.
The economic benefit that can arise from a decline in fertility rates and a change in age structure, resulting in a larger proportion of working-age individuals.
A situation where the number of people in a population exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment, leading to resource depletion, environmental degradation, and social problems.
A situation where the number of people in a population is too low to support the economic and social needs of a society, often resulting in labor shortages and demographic challenges.
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations.
The total number of people living on Earth, currently estimated to be over 7.9 billion and projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
The number of individuals per unit of area, often measured in terms of persons per square kilometer or square mile.
The pattern of where people live within a given area, often influenced by factors such as topography, climate, resources, and economic opportunities.
Government strategies and interventions aimed at influencing population size, growth, distribution, and composition, often through measures such as immigration policies, family planning programs, and social welfare initiatives.
An estimate of future population size and composition based on assumptions about fertility, mortality, and migration rates.
Efforts to regulate or limit the growth of a population, often through measures such as contraception, sterilization, and abortion.
The study of how and why populations change in size, structure, and distribution over time, influenced by factors such as birth rates, death rates, migration, and social factors.
The process of increasing the proportion of elderly individuals in a population, often associated with declining fertility rates and increasing life expectancy.
The tendency for population growth to continue even after fertility rates decline, due to the large number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
The branch of ethics concerned with moral issues related to population size, growth, distribution, and control, including questions of justice, equity, and sustainability.
The health outcomes of a population, including measures such as life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and prevalence of diseases.
The increase in the number of individuals in a population over time, resulting from a combination of births, deaths, and migration.
The decrease in the number of individuals in a population over time, resulting from a combination of low birth rates, high death rates, and emigration.
A rapid and dramatic increase in the size of a population, often associated with high birth rates and declining death rates.
The study of how genetic variation and evolutionary processes operate within and between populations, often focusing on factors such as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection.
The study of how and why populations are distributed in space, including patterns of population density, migration, and urbanization.
The study of how populations interact with their environment, including factors such as population size, density, growth, and interactions with other species.
The process of providing individuals with knowledge and skills related to population issues, including topics such as reproductive health, family planning, and sustainable development.
