Population Geography The study of the spatial variations in the
distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations and
how they are related to the nature of places.
Slide 9
Stages of Population Growth 1.Low Growth: Birthrate and death
rate are high but equal As healthcare improves, the death rate
declines Ex. Ye long time ago 2.High Growth: Birthrate still high,
but death rate declines causing rapid population growth Ex. Started
in Industrial Revolution Many African countries are still here
3.Moderate Growth: The birthrate drops and most children live to
adulthood Family size decreases as children live longer Ex.
Developing countries, Mexico 4.Low Growth: Birthrate and death rate
are low and relatively equal. Some countries may experience zero
growth Ex. Most developed countries like US, Canada, Japan

Population Pyramids A graphic device that shows sex and age
distribution of a population. Allows geographers to examine how
events in society such as wars, famine, or epidemics affect the
population of a country or region.

Population Distribution The worlds 7 billion people are not
evenly distributed 90% of the population live in the Northern
Hemisphere of the worlds people live in East Asia of the worlds
people live in either Asia (mostly South & East)
Slide 18
Migration Migration alters the distribution of population Push
Factors: reasons people leave their homeland and migrate to another
region Examples? Pull Factors: draw or attract people to another
location Examples?
Slide 19
Population Density Measures the number of people per square
mile
