     • 9 bln
       • pop is starting to level out
         • more aware of contraceptives

2. demographic transition model

   • changes in the relationship between birth and death rates (natural increase)
     • stage 1
       • BR and DR high TPOP low
         • high infant mortality rate
         • children needed to work
         • lack of family planning
         • disease
         • war
         • poor health/ sanitation
       • Amazonian tribes

       • BR high, DR drops TPOP starts to decrease
         • improved health/ sanitation
           • decrease in disease
         • lower infant mortality rate
         • better family planning
       • Bangledesh
     • stage 3
       • BR + DR fall, TPOP rises and crosses the DR

       • UK

       • Japan
       • DR higher than BR, TPOP decreases
         • medicine helping people live longer
         • fewer people of reproductive age
       • AGING POPULATION

3. population pyramid

   • shows % of female + male.
   • shows the % of certain age groups
     • young dependent
     • economically independent
     • elderly dependent
   • why is it usefull
     • shows trends in BR + DR rates
     • life expectancy
     • infant mortality rate
     • helps plan for the pop
   • pyramids:
     • 1
       • high BR + DR
       • LEDC - Malawi
     • 2
       • high R lower DR
       • LEDC - bangledesh
     • 3
       • BR fallen DR higher
       • people living longer
     • 4
       • low BR big middle section lowish DR
       • MEDC- UK
     • 5
       • low BR low DR AGING POPULATION
       • MEDC - Japan

4. aging population

   • issues
     • transport
       • ring + ride buses
         • ramp
         • drop off shopping
