2011+Human+Population

__Outcomes __
 * Unit 4 – Human Population **

Outcome 1:On completion of this unit the student should be able to evaluate the relative importance of factors that affect changes in human population and one other selected global phenomenon.

Outcome 2:On completion of this unit the student should be able to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of responses and policies t o manage a global phenomenon from a human perspective.

**HUMAN POPULATIONS - Why study? Why should we care? ** We must think and plan for future populations. Population (that is the number of people) have a direct impact of land. On land for housing, resources such as food and minerals. It is predicted that the population in Australia will rise to 36 million by 2050 and Melbourne and Sydney will grow to 7 million each. More people = more competition for resources

The world's population WILL reach **7 billion** by the end of 2011.

There are two sides to any debate, and human population is no different. On one side are those that believe that the world is overpopulated and we will struggle to feed, clothe and house everyone if we continue to grow at the rate we are.

The second side believes that overpopulation is myth and with current global fertility rates declining there is no need for alarm. It does however discuss the __uneven distribution__ of resources as reasons for continuing issues in LEDCs.

**IF THE WORLD WERE A VILLAGE **

Sometimes it is hard to fathom the enormity of numbers in the million and billions! I mean how do we imagine 1 billion people? The book "If the world were a village" by David Smith is an excellent way of trying to put this global scale into perspective. The world is 'shrunk' down to a village of 100 people at a ration of 1 to 67 million. If you missed story time in class, have a look at this presentation [|If the World were a Village.ppt] or watch the video below.

**GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION ** In this unit we will examine how various indicators such as population, wealth, access to healthcare are distributed across the globe, and the significance of this. You will be expected to be able to confidently describe Spatial Association. This is the comparison of TWO distribution patterns. A spatial association can be said to be strong, moderate, weak or non-existent. You have notes on this from last unit but just in case [|Describing distribution and SA.doc].

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. So which countries are the biggest and which are the wealthiest?

<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">__Most populated__ – India, China, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia, Japan <span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">__Wealthiest__ – Luxembourg, Norway, Kuwait, Brunei, Singapore, USA, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria //<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">(Macao and Hong Kong are further up the list but for the purposes of this exercise we will not include them) //

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">2. On the maps provided shade the countries listed above and label BOLTSS. [|THE WORLD.doc] <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">3. Using your completed maps, describe the spatial association of 10 most populated and wealthiest countries.

<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Model answer - //The spatial association between countries with a population over 125 million and a PPP of over US$40 000 per capita is weak. For example, countries with populations over 125 million tend to be located in Asia (5/10) but countires with a high PPP over US$40 000 tend to be located in Europe (3/10) ,certain parts of Asia (3/10) and the Middle East (2/10). However, The United States is an exception as it has both a population over $125 million and a PPP of more than US$40 000 per capita.//
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">GLOBAL PHENOMENON **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Global phenomena are major natural or human events, processes or activities. Such phenomena are distributed globally and possess the capacity to affect the globe or significant parts of the globe and require more than a local or national response.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Global phenomena can be classified much like resources, is it a natural or human phenomena? Distribution of forest, deserts and coral reefs will all be natural while global fishing, migration and tourism are human global phenomenon.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Complete the activity. [|Global Phenomenon fill in the blanks.doc]


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">MAPPING **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">As a geographer it is important to know where countries are in the world and the continents they are found on. For Unit 4, this is extremely important.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">You must be familiar with mapping techniques and different types of maps.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Complete the revision activity with the world map and an atlas (or internet) to refresh your knowledge. [|Globe revision.doc] [|THE WORLD.doc].

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Chloropleth maps are maps that show different values using colour and shading. You are expected to be competent with these for Unit 4.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Proportional Bar maps use rectangular bars with their lengths proportional to the values that they represent. There is a legend which can be used to measure against.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Complete the activities using the map of the world attached [|Prop bar map activties.doc] [|Proportional Bar World.pdf].


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">It is important to determine the quality of life in a country as a means to explain features of its population and future patterns. Indicators are used to illustrate progress of a country in meeting a range of economic, social, and environmental goals. It is important to remember that the data used in indicators may have been collected by a variety of agencies using different collection methods and therefore may have inconsistencies among them.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I have put together the following PowerPoint from various sources, and it included maps and definitions.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Use the information included to complete the definition worksheet. Include any indicators that are not on the worksheet but in the PPT into your workbooks.[|Human Pop Key Terms.doc]

media type="custom" key="9965113"

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The World Bank has 298 indicators alone on its website, but we will focus on these select few.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">POPULATION DENSITY AND DISTRIBUTION **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Population distribution is how populations are spread out. Population density is how many people there are in a specific area (square kilometre). Watch the following video to get a better understanding.

media type="custom" key="9964899" align="center"

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">It is important to have a strong understanding about how the global population is distributed. However, you must remember that density maps __average__ out numbers and therefore there can much internal variation within countries. For example, in Australia, most of our population is located in the state and territory capitals, while central Australia is //sparsely// populated.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Read p.42 of the supplement and examine figure 2.2. Which continent has highest pop density, and lowest? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">2. Choose one country and list possible reasons for the internal variation of population density.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">As always in Geography we are interested in WHY things occur. So WHY are populations distributed they way they are? Of course, we use __SHEEP ﻿ __ __<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">T!!! __ <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Factors such as topography (height of the land), access to resources, ability to irrigate dry land, proximity to other people, desirability of an area all influence where people live.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Use [|Factors that influence population distribution and density.docx] to complete the table [|Explaining World Population Distribution.docx]. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">2. Read through p.44 of the supplement and add extra information into your table from the first activity <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">3. Complete activity 1 from p.45 of the supplement. If you would like an extension activity, complete 2 also.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">POPULATION PYRAMIDS **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Population pyramids describe the number of males and females (or percentage) in 5 year age groups of a total population.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The five-year age increments on the y-axis allow the pyramid to vividly reflect long term trends in the birth and death rates but also reflect shorter term baby-booms, wars, and epidemics.

Complete the worksheet on Afghanistan’s population composition [|Afghanistan Population Structure worksheet.docx] <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">4. Read p.52 of the supplement and copy into your workbooks the features or a young and ageing population pyramid.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Visit the following website [] and view the population pyramids for different countries. See if you can name them as MEDCs or LEDCs.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The website [|http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/d3310114.nsf/4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564/ca0b3137794a766bca256f6c0078cb0b!OpenDocument] has an animated population pyramid of Australia. You can highlight different areas and play the change over time of our population since 1971 and into the future.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">POPULATION DATASHEET **

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Make sure you download and print your own copy of the Population Reference Bureau 2010 datasheet 2010 Population Data Sheet.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">We will now complete an activity using all our learning up to date. You will need the 2010 data sheet from above and the [|Pyramid Data File.docx] I have prepared to complete the activity below.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Answer the questions using the 2010 datasheet. You will also need to write a definition for some of the indicators in the boxes provided using the worksheet you completed duing our development indicator lesson.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Global Population Change <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Population change can result from the difference between birth rates and death rates. This can produce a natural increase or a natural decrease. Also, a population can either become younger or older because of changes in birth rates and death rates. <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Migration into or out of an area can further impact on population numbers, ages and ethnicity, as well as a future increase or decrease in population size.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">CHANGES IN POPULATION **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0cm;">Growth rate varies by country and region
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0cm;">LEDCs expanding; MEDCs stable or declining
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0cm;">98% of the future increase will be in the developing world



<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">We are unable to deny that world population has grown exponentially in the last century. It is possible to identify trends even before the 1900s. Until the 1750, population growth was slow as birth and death rates were high.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">SAC 1b will be about changes in population (birth rates, death rates, migration, TFR), future patterns, population distribution and SHEEPT factors. Everything we will have covered by week 2. [|Unit 4 - SAC 1b Practice.doc]. There is no revision in this practice SAC about population pyramids but you __should__ revise pyramids. **Monday 1st August**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">There are many theories as to population patterns and changes. One theory is Mathusian Checks or 'natural checks. This is the idea that because population will outgrow food supply, and overpopulation would occur. Natural disasters such as famine and disease or human wars would play the role of a 'natural check' to reduce the human population.In more recent times the Demographic Transition Model has suggested that countries go through a series of set stage on their journey to 'development'.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL **

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">There are four stages; although one more has been added to explain continuing decline in populations.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">﻿This video recaps development indicators and introduces the Demographic Transition model. Be sure to make up your own mind about his

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Stage 1 = high birth and high death rates. This would have included pre-industrial countries and there would have been low population growth.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Stage 2 = high birth rates but the death rate falls quickly due to better health care, agricultural practices and living standards. A number of African countries like Niger and Angola are in this stage. Population increase is high.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Stage 3 = Falling birth rate and low death rate. Improvements in education, access to contraception and a richer more urban society lowers birth and fertility rates. The death rate is still declining but not as quickly.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Stage 4 = Low birth and death rates. Low rate of natural increase. Urban and developed countries like France and Australia are here.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Stage 5 = A result of an AGEING population. Death rate increases and birth rate is low. Countries have close to 0 population growth or a declining population, like Russia and Japan.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">NATURAL PROCESSES and HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT INFLUENCE POPULATION CHANGE **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Natural processes relate to one or more parts of the natural or physical environment. Examples include //normal events// such as rainfall, temperature and sunshine for the atmosphere, forest and crop growth, and river flow. Natural processes are also //extreme events// that influence population. These include tsunamis, tropical cyclones, hurricanes, floods, landslides and fire. Human Activities include industry, farming, cities, and movement and interaction between locations.How do the factors we have looked at relate to natural processes and human activities? Natural processes relate to environmental factors and human activities to social, economic and political factors.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">The only way a population will change is through changes to MORTALITY, FERTILITY and MIGRATION rates.

__<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Mortality Rates __

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Mortality rates are influenced directly by a country’s living conditions. There is a strong spatial association between global mortality rates, the quality of healthcare available and, in particular, clean drinking water.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Globally, mortality rates have fallen considerably in the last 30 years because of:

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-increased maternal and infant healthcare <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-increase in access to safe drinking water <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-vaccination programs-increased agricultural production <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-more food supply <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-education programs on disease spreading and preventative measures

__<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Fertility Rates __

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Fertility rates have been slower to change than mortality rates. The factors influencing family size are more complex and perceptions of children may not be changed quickly.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Fertility rates have fallen when a combination of the following has occurred such as:

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Increase in education <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-A rising value on women’s role in society <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Marriage age and affluence <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Access to and availability of contraception <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Urbanisation decreases need for child labour <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Changes in farming practices (such as picking machines) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Decline in infant mortality <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Government incentives for smaller families <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">-Government support for the elderly <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1.

**<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">FUTURE GROWTH **

At present the world's population is growing quickly, though this has not always been the case.
 * Until the 1800s the world's population grew slowly for thousands of years.
 * In 1820 the world's population reached one billion.
 * In the early 1970s, the world's population reached three billion.
 * In 1999, less than 30 years later, the population doubled to six billion.
 * The global rate of population growth is now one billion every 15 years.

<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">We will study China as one of our case studies. You need to be aware though that the examiners have high expectations of exam answers relating to China. This means that your statistics and examples need to be very accurate and all information included incredibly accurate.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Australia – An Ageing Population <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Countries like Italy, Germany and Japan are already facing possible population declines in the next few years, brought on by very low birth rates. <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The labour force is not growing and will worsen when the ‘baby boom bulge’ reaches pensionable age. This amounts to a decline in the number of workers relative to non-workers or an increase in the ‘dependency ratio’.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">By the standards of developed countries, the Australian population is neither very old nor ageing very rapidly.
