• This 1990s photo shows a crowded street in
  Calcutta, India. With 30 babies being born every
  minute, Indias population will overtake Chinas
  current population of more than 1.3 billion in
  5-7 years. This will make India the worlds most
  populous nation.

World Population Growth
p. 317

• Two thousand years ago, the Romans ruled the
  earth and Jesus lived in the middle east. In
  China, the Han Dynasty ruled, and the Mayan
  people were just getting their great civilization
  started.
• At the time, there were 300 million people on the
  earth.
• By 1804, when Canada was being colonized and the
  Napoleonic wars were starting in Europe, the
  world had reached 1 billion people.
• Today, there are over 6 billion people in the
  world!

1. Factors Affecting Population Growth

• Births People having babies! p. 320

• Why do people have babies?
• Why do poorer people have more babies?
• Political No campaigns by government to educate
  them, no welfare system
• Economic Young workers needed for family
  survival

  value systems more babies
• Military
• Social Lack of Contraception, Needed for family
  to continue

• Deaths People dont last forever! p. 320

• Why do people have babies?
• Why do rich people live longer?
• Political Stable political systems less bloody
  wars. Better medical care, disaster relief,
  utilities (clean drinking water, electricity
  etc). Welfare for poor. Govts educate re how
  to eat.
• Economic Less manual labour, more pay, safer
  conditions
• Religious Pluralistic society less religious
  conflict
• Military Military is separate from civilians, no
  armed children in wars
• Social Time for social activities, care for
  old/diseased

1. Factors Affecting Population Growth

• Life Expectancy How Long the Average person
  lives p. 322

• In earlier times, all people had poor, nasty,
  brutish and short lives. Life expectancy was
  little over 30 years! Today in Canada, life
  expectancy is almost 80 years (79.2).

• Migration The movement of people from place to
  place p. 322

• In 2007, more people lived in cities (urban
  areas) than in rural areas for the first time
  ever.
• IMMIGRATION People arriving in a country.
• EMIGRATION People LEAVING a country.

STAGE 1 PRE-MODERN SOCIETYEARLY
EXPANDING   Currently, most areas of the world
do not fit this model, except AIDS-plagued areas
of Africa.    Historically, the West
was in this stage until the Agricultural
Revolution (18th century) and the Industrial
Revolution (19th century) began to change
things.          People have lots of babies
(high birth rate), but there are many diseases
and poor nutrition, which keeps the death rate
high. Population does not grow much.       
  Most people die between 5-10 years old.

STAGE 2 DEVELOPING NATIONSEXPANDING Many
countries today fall into this category.
Historically, the West was in this stage around
1800-1914. People have lots of babies (high
birth rate), but people have better access to
medicine and healthcare as well as better
nutrition and sanitation. Population numbers
increase rapidly. People live longer. The
bottom of the age pyramid widens.

STAGE 3 DEVELOPED DEVELOPING
NATIONSSTABLE Many countries today fall in
this category. Historically, the West was in
this stage until around WWII (1940s). Urbanizat
ion, improved living standards lead to less
desire for large families. Death rate is low,
birth rate falls and population grows
slowly. Less new babies are born and
population begins to age.

STAGE 4 DEVELOPED NATIONSSTABLE-CONTRACTING
Birth rates and death rates are both low. Most
Western countries are in this stage or moving to
stage 5. The population gets older and older,
because very few babies are being born and those
that are alive keep getting older. Population
must be replaced through IMMIGRATION or old
people will soon out-number work force.

WE NEED MORE BABY MARIOS!

If this Class Represented the World
EFFECTS OF STAGE 5 - Some countries begin to
not want immigrants.

FROM THE GUARDIAN UKAUGUST 2000(BY JOHN
HOOPER) One of Germany's most influential
conservative politicians yesterday called on
Germans to have more children as an alternative
to taking in more immigrants. Edmund Stoiber,
the head of the state government of Bavaria, was
breaking with a taboo dating back to the Nazi
past which has effectively prevented discussion
by the mainstream parties of measures to boost
fertility. He said "We are having too few
children - to a worrying degree, the significance
of which is scarcely recognised".
BY 2050 Without Immigration, 32 of pop. Will be
over 65

EFFECTS OF STAGE 5 - Germany has introduced a
new BABY SUBSIDY!

FROM REUTERSJANUARY 2007(BY ERIK
KIRSCHBAUM)German hospitals have seen a surge in
the number of planned births this week after a
generous government aid program for parents of
newborns took effect. The government, worried
about a shrinking population, introduced benefits
worth up to 25,200 euros (33,470) to encourage
working couples to have children. But only babies
born from January 1 qualify. "A lot of women who
were scheduled for planned deliveries last month
asked to postpone till this week," Klaus Vetter,
chief doctor at Vivantes hospital in Berlin's
Neukoelln district , told Reuters.
"For some, there's a lot of money at stake and
they quite reasonably ask 'if it won't hurt the
baby, why not wait?'," he said on Tuesday after
performing a Caesarean section. He advised the
mother to have the operation a week ago in her
38th week. "But she wanted to wait. There was a
small risk but everything worked out okay. It was
a healthy boy." German media have been full of
tips on how women could hold off giving birth
until January 1 -- from avoiding physical and
sexual activity to taking magnesium and
homeopathic medicines.
