- 1AGE DISTRIBUTIONPercentage of the total population, or the population of each sex, at each age level.
- 2CARRY CAPACITYbiological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely.
- 3COHORTa group of people banded together or treated as a group.
- 4DEMOGRAPHIC EQUATIONA mathematical determination of the changes in a population. The demographic equation is widely used in business for marketing purposes and consists of a formula taking the increase or decrease in the population (births minus deaths) plus or minus the amount of migration to the demographic area.
- 5DEMOGRAPHIC MOMENTUMThe tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because once this happens a country moves to a different stage in the demographic transition model.
- 6DEMOGRAPHIC REGIONSAny defined area or unit of the surface of the earth that you wish to analyze demographically and spatially.
- 7Demography Transition ModelA model based on Western Europe experience of changes in population growth by countries undergoing industrialization.
- 8Dependency RatioThe ration between the number of people in a population between the ages of 15 and 64 and the dependent populations (children 0-14) and (elderly 65+).
- 9Diffusion of fertility controlPopulation growth had declined in the developed countries through education programs, family planning programs coupled with AIDS prevention programs.
- 10Doubling TimeThe time required for a population to double in size.
- 11DISEASE DIFFUSIONoccurs when a disease is transmitted to a new location. It implies that a disease spreads, or pours out, from a central source
- 12EcumeneThe part of the Earth's surface physically suitable for permanent human settlement.
- 13Epidemiological Transition modelSociety develops industrially and economically which improves living condition and healthcare. Shift from pandemics of infections degenerative diseases with old age.
- 14GENDERED SAPCEIt is a place where only members of one gender goes
- 15Infant Mortality RateA figure that describes the number of babies that die within the first years of their lives in a population.
- 16J-CurveA graph in which a curve of a line falls and rises higher than the starting point.The initial stage of growth is approximately exponential; then, as saturation begins, the growth slows, and at maturity, growth stops.
- 17MALADAPTATIONmore harmful than helpful, in contrast with an adaptation, which is more helpful than harmful.
- 18Thomas Malthushe had a perspective of the future populations would be so great than it would outstrip their resources.
- 19MortalityThe death rate.
- 20NATALITYThe birth rate (technically, births/population rate) is the total number of live births per 1,000 of a population in a year.
- 21Neo-MalthusianWants to control overpopulation by means of birth control or abortion.
- 22OverpopulationA copious supply of population of an area to where you deplete your natural resources or the environment is deteriorating.
- 23Population DensitiesA measurement of the number of people per given unit of land.
- 24Population DistributionsDescriptions of locations on Earth's surface where populations live.
- 25Population ExplosionsA rapid growth of the worlds human population during the past century. It happens because of shorter doubling times and fast rates of increase.
- 26POPULATION PROJECTIONestimates of total size or composition of populations in the future.
- 27Population PyramidVisual representation of age and sex composition of a population where it shows different age groups in percentages.
- 28Rate of Natural IncreaseCrude birth rate minus the crude death rate.
- 29S-CurveA graph in which a curve of a line falls and rises higher than the starting point.The initial stage of growth is approximately exponential; then, as saturation begins, the growth slows, and at maturity, growth stops.
- 30SEX RATIOThe gender ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population.
