GOING GLOBAL: Roots
  1. Sources of data about population change:
    1. National: census data
      1. Local: church records (births, deaths, marriages), internet
        1. Personal: recollections of family members
        2. Factors causing a longer life expectancy:
          1. Better health care - NHS, A&E, vaccinations
            1. Global connections - due to globalisation the nature of work has changed, dangerous jobs have become automated
              1. Hygiene, sanitation & safety - provision of education, regulate all hazardous aspects of peoples lives
              2. Factors causing falling birth rates:
                1. Women's status, pay and rights - better paid job opportunities
                  1. Contraception, abortion & education - less women are becoming pregnant due to protection/ aborting the child
                    1. Costs & consumerism - rising cost of living so people cant afford families
                    2. Analysing population change:
                      1. FAMILY SIZE: population has increase due to life expectancy increasing
                        1. POPULATION STRUCTURE: top heavy population structure, more elderly over youth, increased life expectancy
                          1. MIGRATION: people moving away from manufacturing & mining jobs to tertiary jobs, urban-rural migration & rural-urban migration, move for careers/ accessibility/ uni's
                          2. The grey population: due to lower birth rates & increased life expectancy
                            1. Benefits of a greying population: spending money on goods & service, pay tax, voluntary & charitable work
                              1. Economic effects of ageing: state pensions paid out of taxes, heavy demands on medical & health care services, demand for care homes
                                1. Social effects of ageing: leads to isolation, loneliness & social exclusion, physical & mental impairments, pressure on families having to care for the elderly
                                  1. Solutions to tackle the pressure:
                                    1. Increase taxes, promoting immigration, raising the age limit for state pensions, encourage people to work longer, sell homes to move to care homes so more housing for the rest of the population
