Patterns and Change
Cards in this deck (22)
- 1Doubling TimeLength of time it takes for a population to double in size, assuming its natural growth rate remains constant.
Doubling Time (in yrs) =
70/growth rate (in %) - 2TenureThe way in which the rights, restrictions and responsibilities that people have with respect to land (and property) are held
- 3Internally Displaced PersonOne that has fled their home but continues to live in their own country
- 4Illegal ImmigrantPerson who enters another country without permission and plans to remain there
- 5Asylum SeekerA person that seeks refugee status in another country
- 6RefugeeA person fleeing their home country in order to escape danger
- 7RemittancesTransfers of money or goods by foreign workers to their home countries
- 8MigrationThe movement of people, involving a change of residence. It may be internal or external and voluntary or forces. It is usually for an extended period (more than a year) and does not include temporary circulations such as tourism/commuting.
- 9Dependency RatioMeasures the working population and the dependent population.
= (<15yrs + >64yrs)/(16-64yrs) - 10Population ProjectionPrediction about future populations based on trends in fertility, mortality, and migration
- 11Population MomentumThe tendency for a population to
a) Grow despite a fall in birth rate/fertility rate
b) Fall despite a rise in birth rate/fertility rate - 12Annual Growth RateCrude Birth Rate - Crude Death Rate
(in %) - 13Population PyramidHorizontal bar graph displaying any measurable characteristic of the population. This is mostly age and gender.
- 14Life ExpectancyThe average number of years that a person can be expected to live from birth, if demographic factors remain unchanged
- 15Crude Death Rate (CDR)The number of deaths per 1000 in a population
- 16Child Mortality RateThe number of deaths in children under the age of 5 per 1000 children
- 17Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)The number of deaths of children less than 1 year old per 1000 live births
- 18Total Fertility Rate (TFR)The average number of births per 1000 women of childbearing age
- 19Standardized Birth RateA birth rate for a region on the bases that its age composition is the same as for the whole country
- 20Age-Specific Birth RateThe number of births per 1000 women of any specified age group
- 21General Fertility Rate (GFR)The number of births per 1000 women aged 15-49 years
- 22Crude Birth Rate (CBR)The number of births per 1000 people in a population
