Key Terms
Crude Birth Rate (CBR)- # of live births per 1000 people
Crude Death Rate (CDR)- # of deaths per 1000 people
Rate of Natural Increase- CBR-CDR
Total Fertility Rate- # of children a woman of child bearing age would have
Replacement Rate- 2.1
Demographic Transition Model- Theory of how population grows
Stages
Stage 1-
-People don't live long
-Illness notification and medications were not know
-People would have a lot of kids because the kids would likley not make it to adult hood
-Famion and illness spreads often, making people die
-In this stage there is a high CBR and a high CDR
Stage 2-
-People start learning about illness( oh that person looks or feels bad, I should not talk/make conatct with them)
-People start living longer, decreasing the CDR, and more kids are starting to surviving to adult hood
- People are understanding irrigation and have more food, decreasing famion
Stage 3-
- The poulation goes up but the CBR and BDR goes down
-People are not having as many kids because: they all live to adult hood, they cost money, and women are starting to work so they do not have time
- In this stage there may be "booms" when the is and increase of population and CBR
- Medicine and some tecnology is introduced
Stage 4-
- Population is stable
-People live longer due to tecnology and medicine
China and Overpoulation
China has around 1..3 BILLON people living on it. They have a replacment rate of 2.8 where the replacement rate should be 2.1. This increases the population. I think that they are in a stage 2 or 3.
China Graphs
Above are graphs displaying the poulation of china from 1950 to 2050. As you can see it will be nearly 5 times the population in only 100 years.
