Predicts the future population of an area or the world based on fertility trends. Helps predict future problems with population such as overpopulation or under population of a certain race or ethnicity.

Scientific study of population characteristics (age, sex, life expectancy, birth rate, etc.)

Map that displays the size of countries based on population not land area

Average number of children a woman will have during her child bearing years (15-49)

Total number of live births per 1000 people in a population

Total number of deaths per 1000 people in a population

The annual number of deaths of infants, less than one year of age, compared with total live births.

The percentage by which a population grows in a year. (CBR-CDR ) /10 = NIR

The number of years an infant is expected to live

Measured by the rate of increase (as a whole number not a percentage divided by 70) The number of years it should take for a country's population to become twice its original size

Shows the movement from high births and high deaths to low births and deaths as countries economically and socially develop from LDCs to MDCs

Created a population explosion in Europe and North America and communities became healthier lowering death rates but still having many children for labor

Occurred in the 1950's when things like immunizations and sanitation of Europe and N America (Core) reached the peripheral areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America lowering death rates and increasing population growth.

Any government system that provides monetary assistance to people with an inadequate or no income, usually retirees

Strategies used by governments to discourage childbirth, found in countries with large growing populations

Results in lower birthrates and a moderate population growth as the population moves to cities

The average number of children women need to have within a society to create zero population growth, usually between 2 or 3 depending on the risk of childhood mortality

A country does not have enough population to sustain its economic productivity due to a sharp drop in fertility or population,

Encourage child birth in countries with low to negative population growth

Population displayed by age and gender on a bar graph. Shape is determined primarily by crude birth rate. Shows age distribution and sex ratio.

Population of various age categories in an age-sex population pyramid.

Showing how many people each worker must support, this is the number of people who are too young or too old to work compared to the number of people in their productive years.

State of a society when their population has grown passed its available resources resulting in social and economic problems.

This is the tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their large youth population entering their child bearing years. Explains why it takes a generation before countries move into different stages of the demographic transition.

This is the population level that can be supported, given the quantity of food, habitat, water and other life infrastructure present.

Argued during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution that the world's rate of population increase was far outrunning the development of food population

population growth would not just outstrip food production but also other available resources arguing for zero population growth especially in LDCs

Technology will always keep up with demands and ultimately lead to population stability

inequity in terms of distribution of wealth and resources as elite groups keep others in poverty for personal gain causes population problems not population growth

This is a distinctive major causes of death as countries move from LDCs to MDCs

Seasonal migration of livestock from low land winter pastures to highlands in the summer

State of a country that has a higher number of people migrating in than out

State of a country that has a higher number of people migrating out than in

Explained the most common migration patterns related to age, gender, and economic development.

Factors that induce people to leave old residence and move to new locations.

People who must leave their home due to because due to war, natural disaster, cultural or governmental persecution.

A person who was forced from their home due to political, ethnic, or religious reasons but has remained within the same country of origin.

A person who has left their home country looking for sanctuary in another due to political, ethnic, or religious reasons without an accepted application yet

A person who the international community has recognized as being forced from their home country due to political, ethnic, and or religious persecution

permanent movement across international borders where the person continues to maintain relationships with people in their country of origin

Permanently moving within the same country from one region to another

Creates a migration flow from one place to another as one person migrates to a new country and more family/friends and people from that area follow shortly after

Limitations placed on the maximum number of people who can enter a country

Causes a shortage of skilled workers in LDCs as well educated workers often move from poor countries to rich countries to gain high-paying skilled jobs

Immigrants usually from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa who receive permits to fill low skilled jobs in Europe. Workers can live permanently in Europe but they and their children, regardless of where they were born, are not given citizenship

The average location of a population

As a result of loss of manufacturing jobs and the movement of businesses to the South due to cheaper operational costs, this has been the general migration flow within the US over the past 50 years.

The most common migration pattern worldwide, usually for economic reasons

An environmental or cultural feature of the landscape that helps migration.

Process by which a migrant may make shorter less extreme migrations before ending up at a final destination further away.

Idea that many migration patterns are as a result of lifestyle such as age or family demographics, not necessarily for economic benefits

people move from less developed countries to more developed countries for economic reasons
